Why does a 13-year-old boy from a ‘good’ family end up being radicalised as a murderous incel? 
Adolescence, the limited series currently topping Netflix’s charts, tries to answer this question in four engrossing one-take episodes.   
Hannah and Bev talk about Adolescence’s sense of urgency in tackling the harmful effects of the manosphere and whether the show will make a difference.
