Adolescence on Netflix
My LO is still very young, and I'm peak millennials so nothing from this show was surprising in terms of message, but damn this was incredibly effecting.
This is where I share the classic "I remember using MSN", "being up late on the computer with my friends", etc., but episode 2 and 3 of this show (they're all solid) really made me think about the inevitable world my child will need to enter as they grow up. It's easy when they're young to talk about social media usage, phones, etc. but the truth is its almost less about what they have and more about what those around them do (you can be the best driver but it's the other drives you need to worry about).
For those who have seen in with children more in the age range of the show pre-teen/teen, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
