"Adolescence" Explores The 'Manosphere' and Teen Violence

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 21, 2025

We speak to Nicholas Quah, critic for Vulture about the new series "Adolescence," which premiered on Netflix last week. The story follows a 13 year old boy arrested for the murder of a classmate and is told from different perspectives, including the cops, the family, the friends and mental health professionals. Each of the 4 episodes is shot in one take, giving it the feel of a play. 

This conversation is guest-hosted by Kousha Navidar.
