I watch a lot of series but I rarely leave reviews this one however absolutely deserves five stars!
The storytelling, cinematography, acting, and overall production are nothing short of brilliant. Jamie, in particular delivers an unforgettable performance, especially in Episode 3, which was filmed in a single take. That episode is incredibly intense, emotionally gripping and honestly one of the best I’ve ever seen in any series.
Beyond just being a well-crafted drama, the show highlights a harsh reality: the rise in knife crime among young people in the UK. It sheds light on how easily young people can get caught up in dangerous situations. It’s heartbreaking to see how many juvenile cases involve kids who might have taken a different path if they had the right support.
This series shows how important parents and guardians are in shaping a child’s confidence and decision-making. Building self-esteem early helps young people resist negative influences.
It also highlights the dangers of the online world, where young people are exposed to toxic content, including extremist ideas and groups. These influences can distort their views on relationships and self-worth, sometimes fueling anger or even violence. The series makes it clear how easily isolation and online toxicity can lead to destructive paths, making it a powerful watch for both teens and adults.
A tough but necessary series that sparks important conversations!! highly recommended!
