Dad Life 23-2: Adolescence, Influence & Difficult Conversations

In this week’s Dad Life episode, we’re diving into the tough but important topics raised by the new hit Netflix series "Adolescence". ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode touches on mature and potentially distressing themes, including toxic online cultures, emotional manipulation, and harmful ideologies. Listener discretion is advised.

We break down how the show shines a light on some of the darker sides of teenage development and online influence, including:

• Validating frustration vs. emotional growth
  
  
• Encouraging resentment toward women and toxic masculinity
  
  
• Fostering a victim mindset and avoiding self-accountability
  
  
• Normalizing extremist views and the dangers of radicalization
  

As dads, we unpack what this means for us raising children in today’s world, how we navigate these conversations with empathy and awareness, and the lessons we hope our kids take away.

We also touch on the cinematography, acting, and direction of the show—because while the subject matter is heavy, the production value deserves its own spotlight.

Join us for an honest, thoughtful chat on one of the most talked-about shows this year.
