The Netflix series 'Adolescence' follows a 13-year-old boy named Jamie, who is accused of murdering a classmate, exploring the profound impact of online influences on young males. Despite limited direct references to the manosphere, the show's portrayal of Jamie's troubled mindset raised conversations among viewers and educators about disillusionment and the authenticity of youth experiences today. The gripping narrative captures Jamie's emotional journey through turmoil, making it both poignant and difficult for many to watch. Its widespread popularity indicates a societal urgency to understand and address these issues.
The show's portrayal of a troubled teen asks viewers to stay engulfed in his mindset-for longer than many might want.
The show's popularity-it is reportedly Netflix's third-most-watched English-language series ever-suggests a genuine desire to better understand young-male disillusionment.
Many viewers have been shaken by the show's empathetic portrayal of Jamie, whose developing attitude is captured immersively, with camerawork that's often insistently still.
Adolescence has even become something akin to required viewing in the United Kingdom, where Netflix has made it available to stream free of charge in various secondary schools.
