Enjoyed (if that’s the right term) Adolescence. Very thought provoking. The young actor who played Jamie was very good, and I was pleased to see Ashley Walters again (not seen him since Top Boy although that might just be me missing things he’s been in). Stephen Graham goes without saying really.
But the fallout on twitter/X! Wow. A lot of people missing the point/ message. (Must admit I’ve fallen into the habit of clicking the “for you” tab on twitter, which really is not a healthy thing to do).

Scary ain’t it
Because it’s not a black kid…. It’s wrong… how the hell did they get to that conclusion

Well apparently the inspiration for the programme was based on the murder a year or two ago of the girl on the bus in South London, the killer being black. So this is a case of wokeness by making the killer a white boy (even though the scenario in the series is different to the event it is supposedly based on). And also that knife crime is perpetuated by mainly black kids.
Totally ignoring the misogyny, bullying and anger issues that were being highlighted. And the fact that “inspired by” doesn’t mean it’s meant to be a facsimile of the event that inspired the series.

And to add : the influence/impact of social media, which is something.that needs addressing, although I don’t know how.

As me and the wife said… the programme is all about who are the victims of the action. It’s to just the person killed
I don’t know nice crime stats but I doubt where that was based there are many black kids
