The piano scene is the best on screen flirtation I’ve seen because it captures real awkwardness, spontaneity etc. and when it all goes tits up… nerves wrecked. They got it all...

    Panic stations

    It works cos it mostly focuses on the confusion and emotional impact of those around the boy. Chasm of understanding between online teenage world and teachers parents therapist etc, and doesn’t go into what the manosphere looks like … or how the conspiratorial mind feels, the thrills and...
