Moni & Kat Review: "Adolescence" on Netflix


Listen Later

In this gripping episode, the hosts delve into Netflix's "Adolescence", a harrowing four-part British crime drama that has captivated audiences worldwide. The series centers on 13-year-old Jamie Miller, whose arrest for the brutal murder of his classmate, Katie Leonard, shatters his seemingly ordinary family. As the investigation unfolds, the narrative explores Jamie's descent into online radicalization, exposing the dangerous influence of incel culture and toxic masculinity on vulnerable youth. Through intense performances and a unique one-shot filming technique, Adolescence offers a chilling commentary on the perils of digital indoctrination and the societal factors that can lead to unimaginable acts. The hosts examine the series' unflinching portrayal of modern adolescence and the urgent conversations it sparks about online habits, parental awareness, and the fragility of young minds. Tune in and enjoy, Cheers! 🥂
