Adolescence follows the story of 13-year-old Jamie , who is accused of murdering a female peer.

Incels, short for involuntary celibate, are men who blame women because they are unable to find a sexual partner.

In the show, Jamie and his peers use language associated with the "manosphere" websites and online forums promoting misogyny and incel culture.

Ben 's parents are concerned their son's behaviour is being impacted by material he is exposed to.

Sophie worries her son is getting most of his information about how to interact with girls from social media.

Ben 's parents say they pack their son's life with activities in an attempt to get him off his phone.

Adolescence shows that children with limited opportunities to build their self-esteem are more vulnerable.
