Just watched adolescence. It is really good, watched all 4 episodes in one sitting.

The effect of ‘toxic masculinity’ and ‘incel’ culture on young men.

Is really worth a watching. It was compelling and harrowing. You can see why it is going to to be showing schools.

The Irish Last One Standing is pitiful, didn’t finish the first episode.

It's really worth a watch, the story is compelling and awful, and the one shot nature of the episodes does not let you relax.

I did have a couple of gripes though,

I do think something is lost by the lack of editing, a little bit of bloat, when (specifically Stephen Graham seemingly) people are standing around waiting for the cue.

And the other thing I found myself wanting was more information about the some of the kids in the second episode, and their stories and how they relate.

But other than that, I was gripped from start to finish, episode 3 was just so well done.

Yes Episode 3 got me. The actress Erin Doherty, was just fantastic. The way Own flipped form calm to angry and back, was great acting.

I wonder is Seson 2 will expain the gaps.

Mobland is British gangstas being british gangstas and the thing that is getting murdered the most is Pierce Brosnan's Irish accent. It's Guy Ritchie and watchable. Good cast.

Yes, from Drogheda. Like my father in law. And the Corrs.
