The younger me would have sat up and nodded': Adolescence writer Jack Thorne on the insidious appeal of incel culture
Briefly

The article discusses the development of a show addressing knife crime and male violence, conceived by Stephen Graham. The narrative delves into the psychology of an incel character named Jamie, revealing the intricate social dynamics shaping his actions. The writer reflects on personal connections to Jamie's struggles, contrasting his own upbringing with the influence of online communities on marginalized youth. The overarching themes highlight the dangers posed by isolation and the failures of societal structures in addressing young men's emotional turmoil and misguided beliefs.
I think you should look into incel' culture. I expected to be confronted by anger and aggression; what I didn't expect was to quickly grasp the attraction of the so-called manosphere.
If you believe one part of the logic, the other half becomes conducive. The only episode Stephen left me alone with was episode three.
Katie's loss is the apex of the tragedy, but I hope it's OK to say that Jamie is a tragedy, too.
