The Ben & Jamesa Podcast: Conversations About Connection

Ep. 132: Netflix's Adolescence and the HVO Cycle

45 min • 2 april 2025

In this episode, we dive into Adolescence, Netflix’s hit series on toxic masculinity, disconnection, and the Manosphere. We break down how the show illustrates the Hero-Victim-Offender (HVO) Cycle—the pattern that keeps men trapped in harmful identities—and what it reveals about power, control, and connection.

We also answer a key listener question: What’s the difference between therapy and therapeutic coaching? 

Tune in for a deep dive into Adolescence, masculinity, and breaking free from cycles of harm.
