neutral · AI labelView post →The creators of Netflix series "Adolescence" have said they want it to be shown in Parliament and in schools so it "causes discussion and makes change". The show shines a light on social media's toxic influence and misogynist influencers on teenage boys (Via BBC News)
neutral · AI labelView post →We're watching the show "Adolescence" with the boys. (Oof. It's a lot.) At the end of the last episode, Mrs. Volts turned to the 19yo and said, "you're on the internet a lot. You don't hate women, do you?" His reply: "Big fan. Easily a top five gender."

neutral · AI labelView post →There are few politicians who would benefit more from watching Adolescence - a show about the dangers of individuals being radicalised by online cranks - than Kemi Badenoch
neutral · AI labelView post →UK Netflix needs to go do a show like Adolescence about Mumsnet.
neutral · AI labelView post →Schools are going to start teaching anti-misogyny lessons in the wake of the TV show Adolescence. While I’m all for this, why did it take A TV SHOW and not thousands of women losing their lives/having their lives ruined for society to actually do something?
neutral · AI labelView post →I’d heard Adolescence is good, but I had not understood the sort of show it is. The third episode is such a masterpiece, one of the most psychologically gripping hours of TV I’ve watched.
positive · AI labelView post →All this uproar over the show Adolescence. - white people mad it “demonizes white boys.” - EVERYBODY mad it “emasculates men.” Meanwhile, as of 2022, the #1 cause of death of pregnant women in the U.S. is homicide per Harvard University School of Public Health. Raise your goddamn sons.

neutral · AI labelView post →The TV show "Adolescence" sucked. It's brilliantly written, flawlessly acted, excellent film making that causes all the viewers that are already too sympathetic to the violent little incels ruining the world, to be even more unnecessarily and unproductively accommodating of their hateful entitlement
negative · AI labelView post →The TV show Adolescence is being weaponised in the effort to ban phones and social media for kids – but this only highlights the UK's abject failure to build online spaces that aren't manipulated by algorithmic gamification.
neutral · AI labelView post →#Adolescence is now the most watched show on Netflix in 71 countries, according to the streamer (from Chile to Vietnam)
neutral · AI labelView post →Is this the same Kemi Badenoch that spread a false race-baiting claim circulated by a far right extremist about the series Adolescence?
neutral · AI labelView post →UK PM Keir Starmer has backed Netflix’s plan to show its hit series Adolescence in schools for free. Adolescence, written by possibly Britain’s most successful TV writer Jack Thorne, is a devastating look at how a 13-year-old boy came to kill a teenage girl. A why-dunnit not a who-dunnit.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Adolescence on Netflix- I feel like if the show is at all trying to impart any kind of solution to the incel/manosphere epidemic happening especially amongst young boys, it’s familial and friend intervention. Don’t let people you know go down such a destructive path. Know the warning signs
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm two episodes into East of Eden and this is the best limited series I've seen since Adolescence. It's real filmmaking, serious writing, and storytelling that has been carefully thought-through at every step.

neutral · AI labelView post →NEW FOR QAA: I suspend my glass ceiling-breaking campaign to be the new Pope to report on the great British freakout over the Netflix series Adolescence. Is it riveting, timely television? Or a state-sponsored anti-incel psy-op?

neutral · AI labelView post →New: I interviewed the creator of Adolescence, the disturbing Netflix show about a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering his classmate. He told me incel ideology would have appealed to him as a young person — and that’s when he knew he had a story: wrd.cm/3XFqR8h

neutral · AI labelView post →I recently watched Adolescence on Netflix and at the risk of sounding a bit iconoclastic, I’d like to offer some criticisms and concerns about how the mini-series (perhaps inadvertently) perpetuates some myths related to the online radicalization of men and boys.

neutral · AI labelView post →I wrote about a key missing piece to the Netflix megahit “Adolescence.” The series is up for 13 Emmy awards tonight and is a stunning work of art — but it also neglects a vital aspect of online radicalization and how to prevent the violence. www.motherjones.com/media/2025/0... 1/x
neutral · AI labelView post →The new Netflix series ADOLESCENCE gave me an opportunity to write about something close to my heart — in the quest to fight the patriarchy, we are letting young boys be eaten by it. www.slashfilm.com/1814670/teac...
neutral · AI labelView post →I wrote about Netflix's "Adolescence," a very well acted, directed, and written series that also crosses into moral panic. It's also haunted by the Jamie Bulger case in ways that strangely a lot of reviewers missed. foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/27/n...
neutral · AI labelView post →The Netflix drama “Adolescence” requires its audience to linger — to sink into the mundane, in contrast to how we live our lives, with shortening attention spans, increasing isolation and an inability to sit still. Is that possible in 2025?
neutral · AI labelView post →Adolescence a depressing case study for how discourse ruins things 1. Show raises important societal issues & triggers conversation on what to do 2. People get carried away & watching show becomes performative purity test 3. Rejecting the show becomes equally performative badge of honour for others
neutral · AI labelView post →I was told that Adolescence was one of the best Netflix series, and Adolescence is indeed one of the best Netflix series. Four beautifully realized, superbly acted episodes that broke my heart. I didn't expect it to be so...topical. This is a real political issue that concerns the whole world.

neutral · AI labelView post →"Adolescence," a dark Netflix story about a teen accused of murder, received the best limited series honor at the Emmy Awards. Its 15-year-old star, Owen Cooper, was named best supporting actor in a limited series, becoming the youngest winner in that category.
neutral · AI labelView post →Politicians saying schools should have showings of 'Adolescence' for the children - that's four hours! So do they cancel four lessons, make them stay late or show it over lunchtimes? IMPRACTICAL. Which is why they show them Grosse Point Blank instead, it's only 1h 47m and has a great soundtrack.
neutral · AI labelView post →While Netflix's Adolescence is a marvel in both acting and filmmaking, I have some serious concerns about how the writers address, or rather don't address, the noxious manosphere myths their characters reference during the show.
negative · AI labelView post →This is the analysis of the show I was trying to vocalize and describe to my family. It’s brilliant & perfect. Please read after watching the series #Adolescence Thank you Rebecca Solnit.
positive · AI labelView post →The Netflix series “Adolescence,” about a 13-year-old killer, attempts to grapple with the crisis facing boys today—but its true sympathies lie with the baffled adults around them. Read Inkoo Kang’s review.
