Thank you for this recommendation. Just finished episode 4 this evening. Disturbing, very well done, and so relevant to today. I fear those of us who grew up in “olden times” pre-internet don’t realize how social media has altered the reality of kids. Almost exclusively to their detriment.

The acting was fantastic throughout and my heart just broke at the end for the parents, it was so devastatingly real. I think most parents would feel some responsibility but where they erred is in the wake up call the story is portraying: they -and their son- are not living in the same more innocent world they grew up in.

I agee! I binge watched it last night and intend to watch it again tonight. Unbelievable acting. Unbelievable that each episode was shot in one uninterrupted go.

Just finished watching this, it’s brutal and devastating. Such a hard time to be an adolescent and navigate all the complexities that are coming at them. Definitely makes an argument for less phones and social media. 😔

totally agree, this was an incredible series that really delved into the subtelties of adolescent life. I wish there was a bit more to it though, I feel like there could have been even more episodes... it's such an important topic to explore. I watched it with my mom she had no idea what an incel was and it made me realize how divided the generations are, which in a way is the main point of the show.
