The Culture Desk: Wesley Morris On ‘Adolescence,' the Netflix Show Parents Can't Stop Talking About
Wesley Morris is joined by his friend and fellow critic, Parul Sehgal, to talk about their must-see moments from the limited series 'Adolescence.' The fictional show tells the story of a 13-year-old British boy who murders a girl in his class. They discuss the attraction of the so-called manosphere, ask whether the show deepens the conversation about the existential and social suffering of boys, and wonder aloud if there is a crisis at all.
