Miranda Sawyer • The Guardian • Jun 11, 2024
"...Carr, who’s a beautiful interviewer, talks to a variety of young men. There are some gorgeous moments...the whole series is worth a listen. Sensitive and interesting."
Score: 5
Patricia Nicol • The Times UK • May 5, 2024
"...insightful snapshot into an anxious, put-upon generation wrestling with archetypes of masculinity and spending...These boys were warm, frank, often movingly vulnerable and endearingly funny. It was all riveting, but as a mother of two teenage boys, I found the episode Life Online particularly striking."
Score: 5
Anna Leszkiewicz • New Statesman • Apr 24, 2024
"...this series is best when it lets the boys speak, uninterrupted, without judgement. There are powerful moments of hope."
