In Netflix's Adolescence, 13-year-old Jamie is accused of murdering a female peer after being exposed to misogynistic online material and subjected to cyberbullying
"It's just weird to talk about your sexual feelings to your parents," says 15-year-old Ben*.
His parents, Sophie and Martin, two professionals in their 40s, nod understandingly. They are discussing the kinds of "big issues" Ben's social media usage throws up, and for Ben their conversations about sex and pornography are "the worst".
The family – minus Ben's little sister, who is too young to join the discussion – are gathered in their living room to dissect the smash-hit Netflix drama Adolescence, which they watched the previous evening.
The series follows the story of 13-year-old protagonist Jamie, who is accused of murdering a female peer after being exposed to misogynistic online material and subjected to cyberbullying.
