General Comments: A well-rounded cast of characters; it does not waste anytime getting inside the head of those dishing out bullying. Instead, it gives a clear look inside the head of the bullies, looking at how they justify their actions – from no positive father figures, to ostracisation. It continues to excel, with a style that favours subtly over the more exaggerated approach. Yet, it hits you like a tonne of bricks.

Favourite Quote: ‘I’m okay bein’ lonely.’
