In this powerful episode of Behindthepaddle, we dive deep into Netflix’s gripping one-shot crime drama Adolescence. Through a female lens, we explore the show’s portrayal of youth violence, toxic masculinity, and the psychological unravelling of a 13-year-old boy accused of murder.

But the story doesn’t end on screen. We connect fiction to reality by examining real-life cases of women in the UK killed by partners, exes, and stalkers in just the last few months. We also speak with cast members, mental health experts, and campaigners tackling violence against women and girls.

From media influence to misogyny in the justice system, this episode challenges the narratives that shape young men and the deadly consequences they can have for women.
