Watching the “Adolescence” series

Our daughter had recommended that we watched the limited series, Adolescence on Netflix. It’s a family drama roughly based on a true story that happened in the UK. Without giving away the plot of that four-part show, we’d say that it was very well acted, riveting and was both both painful and uneasy to watch. 

What’s different in that story is that it’s told by focusing on the perpetrator of a crime and his family, not the victim’s, as normally is the case. 

A parent’s worst nightmare, that made us question the culture and the environment that surround today’s youth today and the pressures they face from their peers, misogynistic influences, identity development, and most importantly, the number one poison, the nefarious impact the internet and social media on society. 

Watch it if you can.
