Itβs so well done, really worth watching, but itβs not easy viewing!
Itβs very well done - Iβm sure it will start conversations, which has to be a good thing.
I needed something that would completely absorb me. Job done! πππ«
It does feel very real. Nothing very explicit or violent, but emotionally it hits hard.
Not sure why I decided to binge watch this with a hangover, but if I wasnβt in bits before, I certainly am now. As a mother of preteens, it was incredibly affecting. #AdolescenceNetflix
Hi! Lovely to see you over here ππ
I think Ray's right, you know...
Fantastic! Congratulations π

Do you like beautifully written stories? Do you enjoy bird lore? How bout stories that draw attention to climate change? You're in luck! "Two for Joy" by @raeswabey.bsky.social checks all of those boxes and it's live now in Entwine 79!
