Last year, Netflix hit Adolescence looked at violence among young men and touched on the manosphere and incel culture, while Louis Theroux's most recent documentary, Inside the Manosphere, tackled the internet subculture head on when it was released in March.
When speaking at a Q&A for the series, Gadd was asked whether he was inspired by toxic masculinity or the manosphere when writing to which he said: "I'm aware of them. I'm kind of aware of them even more now than I was when I was writing it.
"I was aware of toxic masculinity more than I was the manosphere. I think the manosphere kind of came into my orbit as of a few months ago, actually, to be honest."
"I knew there was a kind of general male problem that I was interested to explore and dig into and try to contextualise to a certain degree, but that's about as far as it went.
"I didn't think, 'Oh, this is a word and I have to take that word and try and put it into a drama.' Something that was happening, I suppose, in the aether at that period of time, just sparked an idea which couldn't leave me."
The series then charts their lives and their newfound brotherhood over three decades, all leading up to Niall's wedding day, when an explosion of violence takes place.
