In his meeting with the creators of the hit Netflix series "Adolescence," British Prime Minister Keir Starmer admitted that as a father, he had found it quite difficult to watch with his teenage children.

The four-episode film, which tells the story of a boy accused of murdering a classmate, has become a hot topic of discussion, with its treatment of the impact of online media on minors and the way a shocking act of violence affects a family, a community, and society in general.

"I think what this series highlights is that the feeling - which I think we all have - that our children may be more at risk when they are outside the house, when they are on the street, somewhere out there, where we as parents cannot see or hear them, is now being overtaken by a greater danger, which is what is actually happening at home, in their room, when they are there alone," Starmer said.

Starmer expressed his support for Netflix’s decision to make the “groundbreaking” series available for free in schools across the country. “As I see it with my own children, it is essential that we talk openly about the changes in the way they communicate, the content they watch and the discussions they have with their peers,” he said after meeting with “Adolescence” co-writer Jack Thorne, a representative of charities and young people in his Downing Street office, underlining that “as I see it with my own children, it is essential that we talk openly about the changes in the way they communicate, the content they watch and the discussions they have with their peers.” The drama, whose episodes were filmed in a single, uninterrupted shoot, made history on British television this month by becoming the first series from a streaming platform to top the TV ratings charts.

Thorne, who insists that children should not have smartphones until the age of 14, has described the growing influence of so-called "incel" culture, which promotes hatred of women and girls, as a crisis.
