The direction, screenplay and acting are all exceptional. It may feel far removed from your personal reality—because it’s horrifying and terrifying—but I assure you, it’s not.
The subject is, unfortunately, highly relevant and affects us all.
I also work with preadolescents and teenagers, and my young clients are the children of caring, attentive parents—parents who are interested in personal development and psychology. These are young people who are supported, not left to their own devices. And yet, these same kids tell me about other kids. They talk about what’s going on in the parallel world of social media, about cyberbullying that then spills over into baby gangs led not only by boys but also by girls. They share the personal struggles they face as a result of the dynamics that unfold online, and the difficulty of putting the phone down—or of not constantly picking it up again.
The series tackles the incredibly tough role of parents having to take responsibility for what happens to their children. Of course, not everything is down to the adults—there are countless nuances and variables—but we must all ask ourselves, as adults, whether we could—and should—be doing more.
Watch it.
