Watched the first two episodes of this with a friend last week and the final two today. And, yes, it deserves all the praise its gotten.

I'd heard a few things going in, especially about the psychological assessor in episode three, but what blew be away was the complexity of episode two in the school. I've since learned that the had ten chances to get it right - two each day for five days - and it was only take ten that they got it complete. I'm amazed that with all the moving parts it didn't take fifty.

Last week I also re-listened to all four episodes of the Behind The Bastards podcast devoted to Andrew Tate and the toxic "manoshphere", because of this, and can recommend that as a way of explaining the background noise in these teen boys lives..

There's a really interesting Making Of thing on Youtube where they go into how all the camera hand-offs were done:

I liked it:  bring on another season.

I liked that that earnest, dogged MI6 lady and her sidekick got shot to death at the end (... hence making another season possible).

Superb. And I especially love how the turbulent marriage between Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell is written.
