Adolescence, Severance & Fatphobic Filters

Congratulations – you've made it through the week. Your gift is a brand new EIC episode!


Everyone has (rightly) been floored by Netflix's latest drama tackling misogyny, online bullying and radicalisation. Adolescence has been praised as 'flawless' TV. Is four episodes enough to explore such a rich issue? And are the right characters platformed in this story?


Severance stans – you've waited long enough. We finally clocked in for our Severance shift, and dissected the much-loved Apple TV thriller, and its second series.


Meanwhile, if things weren't dark enough in pop culture, IRL fatphobic TikTok filters have been gaining in popularity. But how did we get here... again? The blatant cruelty is galling.


Thank you so much for listening! Please consider leaving us a review and rating, and following us wherever you're listening <3
