P.P.S. Yes, such wonderful acting her from the two mains. And amazing job by the psychologist character to keep her composure until after he left. And only then let her thoughts and feelings out. I would've unprofessionally shown fear of him and made a face at him.

2025-04-06 16:06:41 +0000 UTCLol im spurred on to comment after months of lurking. SORRY THIS IS VERY LONG. (We know he did it because he admitted it multuple times in this episode) In this episode, I think the audience extends a great deal of grace and empathy to the father — and to be clear, I believe he does deserve compassion. However, this perspective also shapes how we see Jamie and in turn the father. We start to view Jamie through the lens of his father, interpreting much of his behavior as influenced by online content or external sources, rather than acknowledging the mirroring of actions in the home using examples of what Jamie himself tells us. Jamie openly expresses his anger and aggression. He admits that when his father frustrated, he physically lashes out — for example, tearing down the shed he was building. We see this same pattern when Jamie himself smacks the hot chocolate off the table, bangs on it, and throws a chair. These are all signs of someone struggling with control. Yet these actions are often dismissed as "normal" — just typical masculine expressions of frustration. The dad, while domineering and aggressive, is still framed as a good father and husband because he hasn't physically harmed his children or wife. But not causing harm shouldn't earn extra praise — that's simply the bare minimum of being human. Jamie adopts this same logic. He sees his father as good simply because he didn’t hit them. That’s not goodness — that’s neutrality. And Jamie applies that logic to himself too. He believes he’s "good" because, although he killed Katie, he didn't sexually assault her — unlike what he thinks other boys might have done. In his mind, the absence of the worst behavior equates to being a good person. It's as if he sees the default for men as being monstrous, and anything less than that is a mark of virtue. What I find especially disturbing is how some viewers use Katie’s “bullying” as a justification for what Jamie did — which mirrors Jamie’s own twisted reasoning. Jamie was also bullied by other boys, but he didn’t lash out at them. He chose Katie because, as he said, she was weak. And in this episode, we learn that Katie was being bullied too — her private photos were shared around the school. Jamie participated in that, showing no empathy for her. He only wished the boy who leaked the photos had waited longer so he could get more pictures of other girls. Jamie saw Katie’s most vulnerable moment as an opportunity. He believed he deserved a date — some kind of reward — simply because he was nice to her. When she rejected him, he felt wronged. The fact that she called him an incel after that encounter wasn’t bullying — it was calling out behavior that clearly aligned with incel ideology. Jamie had already been making sexually aggressive comments to Instagram models — enjoying their content while simultaneously degrading them. The message was: "You show your body for attention, and I’ll consume it — but you're a slut for letting me look." That final moment, when Jamie looms over the psychologist, haunted me. I couldn't help but think: is this what Katie saw in her final moments? A boy towering over her, full of entitlement and rage.

2025-04-03 21:32:27 +0000 UTCI have to say it so good to see people being nice here and appreciate you for watching this great show that had so important message. I have recommended it on other patreon channels and I did get some massages like "this show is boring and acting is over the top" and questioning some behavior or questions from psychologist" and saying the reactor not to watch the show and they just show me with that behavior that we really need shows like this to open some people's eyes... looking forward to watch your reaction for the last episode another perfect episode that did hit me so hard especially being dad and having two boys. Luckily I didn't have any problems with my son's but still as parents the last episode hits hard. ✌🏻

2025-04-03 14:07:46 +0000 UTCEvery time I watch this scene I get something new. Like this time I was more aware of how she had to manage the main security guards feelings. Like you could tell she was annoyed and possibly thinking, “Did he talk this much to the male psychologist?” My sense is he probably would not have shared about hating his job. So, I love the subtly in the acting and writing on that issue. Like we’re uncomfortable with the security guys behavior, but the show doesn’t directly point out, that if she tells the security guy to back off and let her do her job, not only will she be viewed as a bitch, but it’s possible that if Jamie physically attacked her, help might not arrive as quickly and if she were harmed there are those who might think it was ok because she was being bitch and maybe deserved it, as long as she wasn’t raped.

2025-04-02 23:53:46 +0000 UTCMy eyes are so bad I still didn't know it was confirmed confirmed 🤣🤣😭😭😭also the line of him admitting what he did got washed out as I was trying to listen to the psychologist as well 😭😭😭 would of loved to break down that bit

2025-04-02 23:43:45 +0000 UTCYes -- all of this. I think there's some degree of denial in there, too. As in his brain almost doesn't want to truly acknowledge what he's done not just verbal denial.

2025-04-02 22:17:18 +0000 UTCThere is something especially sad and sickening (which I'm afraid is an accurate indictment on our society today) that this 13 year old boy murders a girl, it's caught on video, he has actually SEEN the video, and yet he continues to deny everything. He seems to believe that enough denial (wrapped in charm and bolstered by intimidation) will supersede all the concrete evidence.

2025-04-02 21:27:36 +0000 UTCBesides that the kid is obviously trying desperately to control the situation (all that aside for a moment) I thought he completely freaked out and tossed the chair, etc., (the 2nd freak out) because, right before the tantrum, he was saying how he preferred the other psychologist because "he was just trying to get me to say how I felt about what I did". So, he freaked out because he accidentally said the words "WHAT I DID" for the first time (since he has been denying his crime consistently -- despite the video). Right after he says those words "how I felt about what I did" he looks visibly shaken and jumps up, yelling things like "fuck off! No! I didn't fucking say that!" and "you are putting words in my mouth" and "it's like a fucking trap in here!". This is the first/only time we see him admit out loud that he did the thing he is accused of doing. I believe his accidental admission upsets him so much because he believes his consistent denial will overcome the mountain of facts, even in court. He thinks he can deny, charm, and/or bully everyone into believing his story even in the face of 100% proof of guilt.
