  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Technically impressive throughout, some incredible performances. 

  It’s important that things like this are finally addressing the effect of the internet and this new breed of toxic masculinity on young men. I do find it ever so slightly ironic that the show brings up how violence against women always ends up being centred on the male perpetrator, meanwhile the female victim actually gets very little time here. At no point is her family shown or really mentioned. Not a complete issue but I do think it lets down the pieces own message that way 

  Stephen Graham has to be the best crier in the biz by now

  Catfish 2010

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 16 Mar 2025

  This crazy thing happens to this guy and this moving story comes out of it, then he spends the rest of his life creating the most vapid and insincere content for mtv

  Makes me hate that Catfish has gone on to just mean ‘person lying online’ when the original metaphor is so lovely
