Faye plays DS Misha Frank in Netflix’s 'Adolescence' which has broken Netflix viewing records. But if you haven't seen it yet the limited series follows a family and society turned upside down after 13-year Jamie is arrested for murdering a female schoolmate. Be warned there are some potential spoilers in this episode. In this episode Faye takes us behind the scenes on the show, and we talk about the conversations the show is starting about incel culture, misogyny and how social media is raising our children. Faye also chats about facing classism as a northern working class actor, exploring her sexuality and how meaningful it was to play one of the first openly queer characters in Star Wars, in the Disney+ show, 'Andor' which is back for season two this month. We cover a LOT in this episode and it was just so incredible to sit across from someone. I also grew up in a box room dreaming of big things, so I hope you love listening to this conversation.
