Hugh French writes LBC News opinion on Netflix crime drama Adolescence

Hugh French, writing for LBC News, examines Adolescence, the gripping Netflix drama that exposes how social media algorithms and toxic male “influencers” such as Andrew Tate are trapping teenage boys into misogynistic online echo chambers.

Hugh reflects on the rise of incel culture, the brutality of online bullying, and knife crime which is resulting in acts of serious violence against women and young girls where a “lonely boy seeking validation online can be swept up in a tide of dangerous ideology before anyone even notices.” Hugh comments further on the series: “It peels back the layers of modern adolescence, revealing the unseen battles playing out behind the closed doors of our children’s bedrooms, on screens that parents barely understand, in online conversations they are not part of.”
