The gripping Netflix mini-series Adolescence screened last week. Some are suggesting it might be as influential as Mr Bates vs The Post Office, which aired at the beginning of last year.

It’s all about teenage boys, emerging sexuality, social media, Andrew Tate, online bullying, misogyny and knife crime.

Only it's about much more than that. It addresses all of us, whatever our age or network of relationship, whether or not we go near Instagram or have any idea what an ‘incel’ is.
