It's such a bad show. At first, I didn't know if the plot was going to be about worshipping a cult leader or what, because the focus on the main character (horribly acted by Jared Leto) made it seem like the story was glorifying all the actions that clearly demonstrated abuse of power and misuse of resources that didn't belong to him (we're talking millions and millions of dollars).

Is it better than The Virtues (Shane Meadows, 2019)? If we forget about the filmmaking stuff—editing, shooting, acting, all that—and just focus on the story and the impact, especially how social media can totally mess up teenagers’ lives, then yeah, Adolescence might actually be better.

It’s deeply disappointing that, in pursuit of a broader audience, Disney continues to sugarcoat the narratives of characters born from darkness—especially when it’s already clear that their mass-market approach to exploiting pop culture icons is just minutes away from losing all credibility.

An exercise in humanity from the most banal point of view (a digital streaming platform), and yet it achieves its goal: to touch your heart.
