Part 4/9:
The reviewers have identified two primary messages conveyed through "Adolescência." The first is the exploration of family problems and the challenges in the education system, notably the failures families face when delegating all educational responsibilities to schools. This message, however, remains underdeveloped, feeling more like a backdrop to other themes.
The second message revolves around "toxic masculinity" and the adverse effects of social media, particularly addressing the so-called “manosphere” and its link to radical thoughts among youth. The series has been criticized for tackling these complex issues in a superficial manner, presenting a one-sided narrative that fails to delve into the underlying problems.
