Tell that to the families of women being murdered everyday in acts of domestic violence. The reason they made this series was there has been a spate of teen boys killing teen girls in the UK in recent years for all the reasons they present in this series. This story might in particular might be fiction, sure. But it's based on what's going on around us. Wake up.

Spot on.

No need to be rude

Lol your reply implied completely being dismissive of the realism of the series. "..."

Yeah nah. The main problem of knife offences among British teenagers is black males against other black males. Other main risk factors are childhood abuse and neglect, parental criminality, parental substance abuse, membership of a gang, being taken into care.

Adolescence is a very well produced show but it is being used to promote a fiction that kids from good families are a risk of seeing stuff online and start stabbing their classmates. The real story was based on a Ugandan boy from a neglectful family. He wasn't bullied online or radicalised by Andrew Tate. He was a violent bully from an early age.

The show is being falsely deemed by the UK government as a "documentary" in order to push through legislation that will require all users of social media to provide their id.

Finished The Residence. It was well written but it dragged on a bit. 8 eps way too long.

The reveal is essentially the length of the last episode.

Agree 100%. Very good but too long.

I kinda lost interest after the first few episodes.

Thought the killer's reasoning was a bit lame too tbh.

Haven't seen Adolescence yet but I had a mate lose his mind over it - said it was a fictional show that the UK Government is treating as factual, that it portrays young men and boys as nothing more than vessels waiting to be twisted into evil, women hating creatures and that it ignores so many other important underlying factors impacting isolated young men.

Guess I'll have to watch it myself.

With all due respect, I think your mate might have a few underlying issues.

That is not the response that the show warrants.

Yeah he was screwed over in court over a custody battle he should've won so he may be a tad flaky.

As a work of fiction the show is excellent. The script, the acting, the technicalities of genuine one shot takes over 50 minutes. All top drawer.

But when the British Prime Minister stands up in Parliament and claims Adolescence is a 'documentary' that justifies legislation to restrict everyone's online access then you should be wary that the show is being used as propaganda.

Just watched the first episode of Adolescence due to extreme FOMO. I started crying about 4 minutes and didn’t know if I’d be able to watch it. It’s so ****ing claustrophobic with the one shot business but shit it was enthralling. Cannot do back to back episodes though, it’s a tough sit.

You may need to do the therapist episode over a few nights. It's chilling & super intense.

Thank you for the heads up, I’ll definitely keep that in mind. I had to read a very fluffy book before bed to switch my mind off last night

Most of the victims and the perpetrators of these (knife) crimes were Black or Asian, especially young people aged 10 to 25.​

​

Also from that article.

Knife crime is linked to individual risk factors like gender; age; ethnicity, financial deprivation, and socio-economic background; exposure to violence and prior victimisation; mental illness and drug addiction; low educational attainment and exclusion from mainstream education. Family background and adverse childhood experiences; lack of accessible alternative activities; gang involvement and territoriality; deprivation, and violence are also risk factors at the interpersonal and community level.​

The boy in Adolescence didn't have any of those risk factors. Like I said, it's a very good work of fiction. But to describe it as a 'documentary', as the British Prime Minister did, is a gross mischaracterisation.

 

[dumb]

american manhunt / boston marathon bombing

amazing various types of footage, laid out the progression of the case fairly well. they had no idea they abducted just about the worse person to abduct - someone willing to escape, who also had gps tracking in his car, incredible.
journalist was an interesting interviewee. criticised the police for releasing the images, when he would have done exactly the same if he had the chance.

the volcano / rescue from whakaari

white island eruption. brutal. its angle is more or less the magnitudes and variety of human suffering.

Maybe they should have guns like America less stabbings perhaps?

Bottom line is it’s a big problem in UK and becoming one here. Black people are part of the community believe it or not. Maybe have a listen to the Stephen Grantham video someone posted here where he quotes the saying it takes a village to raise a child. My last word or can discuss in SRP.

The Boston Marathon Bombing and the Waco siege documentaries were both good. One common factor - when you get a large number of American cops together they are extremely trigger happy.

Police fired 200 rounds in a 'gunfire exchange' with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev who was hiding in a boat in someone's back yard. Bullets were penetrating nearby houses, a copper was struck down and killed. It turned out Tsarnaev was unarmed.

At Waco, 76 ATF agents fired thousands of rounds at a building they knew contained 40 women and 30 children. It went on for 45 minutes, only stopping when they ran out of ammo. It's possible one of more of the four agents who died were killed by friendly fire.
