The mantra 'Survive till 25' echoed through Hollywood amidst the challenges faced during 2023, but the entertainment landscape has brightened in 2025 with the return of popular shows and exciting new series. Despite earlier strikes causing production setbacks, notable new seasons of acclaimed series like Severance and The White Lotus have brought renewed hope. One highlight is the British miniseries Adolescence, which tackles the effects of incel culture on youth. The four-part drama effectively explores the psychological complexities behind the violent actions of a 13-year-old boy while showcasing strong performances from its lead actors, fostering important conversations about masculinity.
The standout hour puts Jamie in conversation with a psychologist who gradually untangles the mess of influences that turned a seemingly normal middle schooler violent.
Adolescence is, in many ways, this year's Baby Reindeer: a sleeper-hit British Netflix miniseries that started an overdue, international conversation about masculinity and its discontents.
