PAolo Crepet, a well -known psychiatrist and sociologist, has no half measures: the most popular Netflix series of the moment, Teenagence, will not look at it. Speaking in an interview with Couriertook the opportunity to expand the speech: “I do not intend to gain weight any digital platform. Moreover, in general I consider them responsible for the social degradation we are witnessing ».
Paolo Crepet: «That’s why I will not watch the Netflix series Teenagence“
Crepet’s criticism is not limited to the series itself, but extends to the context that brought it to success: that is, the “anesthetized” society. For the psychiatrist, The fact that the story of a thirteen year old who kills a partner has become entertainment material is an alarming signal: «He should horrify. We are faced with a brutal society, where nobody speaks more about the future ». A future that, according to the psychiatrist, seems to be missing not only to young people, but also to adults: those who define “the worst generation of history”.
The worst generation of adults and educational failure
Crepet points the finger at These adults, unable to take on an educational role. “They are the same parents who feel eleven years old,” he says, defining their behavior on social media “stupid” and symbol of the failure of a generation that cannot convey responsibility and awareness to their children.

The age of disability
For Crepet this “Age of Esitability” invests all: the Adults who take refuge in fictitious adolescence and young people who grow up in a context without authentic reference figures. The result, according to the psychiatrist, It is a company without shared valuesin which structural and cultural problems are spectacularized without a reflection on their meaning.
What is the series about Teenagence
But what is the series about Teenagencewho sparked this controversy? Distributed by Netflix, The series deals with controversial themes such as bullying, social alienation, misogyny And the distorted use of technology among teenagers. At the center of the plot, a murder that upsets a school community, revealing violent dynamics and rooted in the lives of the protagonists. Teenagencehowever, he does not limit himself to narrating a crime, but tries to explore the social and cultural pressures that contribute to radicalize young people in extreme behavior. With an approach that alternates psychological drama and reflection, The series aims to trigger questions rather than to offer answersleading the viewer to question the collective and individual responsibilities behind youth tragedies.
The series that divides public and experts
The popularity of the series, in addition to the way it is direct (each episode with one, long sequence plan), It is linked to the staging of a teenage universe which, albeit exasperated, reflects fears and tensions of the present. This does not mean that the choice of such a raw event has divided the public and experts. For many, such as Crepet, he risks spectacularizing themes that deserve more respectful approaches.
Paolo Crepet between criticism and the need for dialogue
Crepet’s words raise legitimate questions about the quality and impact of the media, but the debate remains open. Talking about a series without looking at it may seem like a paradoxbut the Crepet criticism not only aims to Teenagence. Rather, it concerns the role of the platforms, the relationship between adults and young people and the ability of a society to deal with their problems seriously. Teenagenceis not the point, It is only a pretext for a discussion that touches universal themes: The way we tell and live the difficulties of our time and the responsibility of educating the new generations with awareness. Crepet warns of the risk of a missed dialogue. The real challenge is to use his criticism as a starting point to reflect together: parents and children.
