ok episode 4 has made the other episodes worth it. This scouse cac is putting in an acting clinic
Stephen Graham's grandfather was Jamaican if that complicates things.

Yeah this show probably has been overrated, and the incel stuff gets a bit preachy by the time you get to the end. I agree that stuff is bad but most kids are gonna grow out of it, or at least not kill anybody over it.

The reason to watch it is the performances, and the tense and incredible way they shot it. Stephen Graham painting the car is pure comedy though.

Yet they definitely exist.
Because kids will latch onto any ideology if they come from a shytty upbringing with bad parenting,
Thats the thing with this show tho. He didnt seem seem to have a bad upbringing. He seemed to have a good upbringing, and still got brainwashed

Makes u feel real bad for the parents

People gotta understand that anyone can be brainwashed none of us are immune, some of us are more resilient than others but if you getting hit form all sides nonstop your mind will relent eventually. The manosphere and right wing grifting is a huge issue that has gone unchecked and the ramifications are and will be disastrous.

Eh, I think a lot of it was just how that shyt is embedded in this generation. You got a 15 year old explaining the ideology, how the girl’s messages referenced the shyt.

The 80/20 was brought up again because Jamie considered himself ugly and thought the girl being embarrassed brought her stock down enough that he had a shot.

The thinking treats women like objects to win that need to be tricked and encourages anger towards them if they’re not picked.
Shyt wild man. Whatever happened to just taking your L and hooking up with a fat girl

Not on social media so I wasn't exposed to the hype. Was fully invested halfway through the first episode during the dad/lawyer/son scenes. The dad getting scared before the interrogation and the lawyer politely telling him to man up. And the lead up w/ the son sticking to the story, the dad believing him, and the lawyer already knowing what time it is based on the amount of leeway a judge had given the police and operating from a completely different playbook, and the dad not being on the same page and talking down the recess break.

Definitely the best show I'd seen in years. The son explaining the emojis did feel a like like an afterschool special tbh, but they won me back over w/ the nuance for the rest of the show. Not making the father a UKIP cliche was a smart move that spoke to the gray in the entire situation where people can't just chalk it up to terrible parents raising terrible kids.


Deadline know what they doing tying Brad Pitt to the series given his recent history smh
