I have been thinking about this for a few days. What do you think?

More I think about it the more I agree that the final episode was just absolutely pointless and was nothing more than a platform to showcase Stephen Graham‘s acting skills which we all might agree are great. I don’t understand why that one episode could not have been used for other purposes, for example the trial and sentencing, or a further respiration of how the influence of the Manosphere worked in practice, or a conversation between the parents and A therapist or something to do with the report or just about anything that offered an insight into what went on. Instead we got a disappointing final episode that pretty much was about the fact that Stephen Graham can act.

I really enjoyed it until the last episode. I wish they’d either dropped all the “got to sort the van” stuff and finished off the prosecution of Jamie, or made it a 6 part series if they wanted to cover the family stuff.

i also want to know what the report said, and the background to Jamie/the rest of youth’s brainwashing, and how the court might have dealt with Jamie. There was plenty of potential material there for a 6 part series.

I loved it but my disappointment with it is that the final episode entirely abandoned what appeared to me at least as the core purpose of delving deep into the process of how he became someone who stabbed a girl to death - exploring masculinities, influencers, family that sort of thing. Instead the last episode became about Stephen Graham’s impact statement in a way and a chance for him to (over)act.

i would love to know what the report said !

I thought episodes 2 and 4 were a lot weaker but 1 and 3 were brilliant. Just really want to read that bloody report!
