This is basically Reddit: the tv series.

Of course the Dutch are making this.

Maar het is traditie! etc.

Why 'of course'?

[therearewords]

Maybe because plenty of the Dutch, also in media, think they're progressive and trail blazers. Showing how men "suffer as well" isn't solely a Dutch thing, though.

I think there's a good chance this is going to be satire, the directors worked on Moedermaffia and Dirty Lines among other things. Plus these actors do a lot of comedy as well (with varied results, but still)

unless you're a time traveler, how can you be lost in the modern world? You've been in the modern world for decades at this point.

Anyway, this sounds fun -_-

RIGHT lmao at first I was lke "oh maybe they can talk about how men have very few close relationships because they outsource their social calendar to whatever sad woman wants to deal with them and are turning into incels bc they feel they're owed a woman"

but it's "i'm 40 and I'm out of touch with modern society" ???? FORTY????? do they not know how to use a microwave or something?

[aleksie]

I hope it isn't an excuse for them to be sexist or embody toxic masculinity, but I'm guessing that's what it is.

However, it may be marginally okay if they realize they're the problem and work on themselves.

"do they not know how to use a microwave or something?"

i mean after all those videos about weaponized incompetence, we can never be sure.

Men will do anything except go to therapy. Etc.

[therearewords]

Now that would be potentially interesting. The Forty Year Old Therapy Virgin.

[umhowabout_no]

Wait I would pay to watch that lol

[erasethisworld]

Men go to therapy and learn what to say, but absolutely never fucking implement any of it.
