Episode 25: Adolescence: We Need to Talk About Boys – Part One
In this gripping episode of Was Your Ma on Telly, Kelly and Amilia dive deep into the trending Netflix series Adolescence, featuring Stephen Graham, which is taking the world by storm. The show follows a young boy who’s arrested on suspicion of the brutal murder of a girl, sparking a powerful exploration of toxic male beliefs towards women, red pill society, incels, and a modern look at teenage culture.
The duo reflects on the darker side of male rage, social media’s influence, and the pressures young boys face today. Drawing from their own experiences growing up around teenage boys (some of which are not-so-pleasant memories), they discuss their concerns for the future of the next generation of men and their hopes.
A fascinating dynamic unfolds as Ami, raising young men, and Kelly, raising a daughter, share their different perspectives on the show and its broader implications.
Are their outlooks on the issues surrounding adolescence and masculinity different ?
In this episode, expect candid chats about Andrew Tate, TikTok trends that pit boy and girl parents against each other, Conor McGregor, and more.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the complexities of adolescence, male identity, and the world we’re shaping for the next generation.
