Spoilers?

I have watched it - it's a very well executed, well acted, minimally sensationalised series about the aftermath of a 13 year old boy murdering a girl for rejecting him, focusing on the risks of allowing young children unfiltered and unmonitored access to the internet, and how it's normalising thongs like children sending nudes to each other and using violence as a punishment for rejection. In that sense, it us really good.

It's not enjoyable, or comfortable, and I think it's the older generations who aren't on social media or parents who have been relying on iPad parenting and haven't understood how much the internet had changed since they were teenagers who would benefit from seeing it. You genuinely don't see that kind of toxicity online unless it's presented to you, and those demographics wouldn't always be in the online spaces enough to see it.

I probably wouldn't recommend it indiscriminately though.
