Some quotes:

A new social contagion has taken hold in Britain. It’s spreading like a pox via the internet. It’s worming its way into people’s minds and making them think daft and even dangerous things.

No, I’m not talking about Andrew Tate and the other lowlifes of the “manosphere”. I’m talking about the insane fawning over Adolescence, the Netflix drama about a 13-year-old boy who kills a female classmate after being brainwashed by Tate and other braggarts on the internet.

Honestly, it’s like a new religion. Critics are genuflecting at the altar of Adolescence in the way we once might have bowed to the Holy Bible. They see it not only as a gripping drama about a dreadful crime but as a divine revelation about the struggles facing boys in the modern world.

...

It’s a four-part TV series, not the Second Coming.

Let me put this plainly: it is unheard of for a working-class boy from a stable family to commit a horrific knife crime because he saw stupid stuff on the internet.

...

Adolescence feels like moral porn for the upper classes. It allows them to indulge their aristocratic dread of the gruff males of the lower orders. Who cares if it’s horrifically inaccurate so long as it gives the chattering class a cheap moral thrill?
