This show has caused a lot of anger on Twitter. There are a bunch of men who see it as propaganda against them, in a culture where white men are freely blamed for problems while excuses are made for other demographic groups. They are angry that the government is now talking about taking action based on a fictional crime, when they have ignored or tiptoed around the causes of very real ones (eg the teen knife crime epidemic and the grooming gangs). And they believe the response will be to double down on the biggest reason young men are becoming radicalised: the pathologization of masculinity, in schools and in society in general.
IMO, the programme has intensified their feeling that popular culture is controlled by people who are very different from them and do not represent them at all, and made them feel all the more disenfranchised as the country changes for the worse around them. Whatever its merits as television, I’m not convinced it’s going to result in beneficial social change.
