unnerving but beautifully and responsibly created. incredibly fascinated with the creative decisions behind the making of this show but, more importantly, in awe of stephen graham's stellar acting performance more than anything. it was really important to portray that it is not always children belonging to abusive households and absent parents that can commit such crimes.
crucial to note what graham said in an interview, "the internet is as much of a parent as the parents of a child, in today's world."
credit to netflix for shows like this one and 'Maid'!

Monkey Man

★★★ Liked Watched

fantastic direction considering it’s patel’s directorial debut, but that’s about it. writing is not this film’s strongest link, it relegates the film to be just another senseless action movie.
