Google Drive Tip: It takes time for Google Drive to process videos. If it says "still processing" or is only allowing you to view at 360p, then you can always come back later or download the video in full

Dropbox Tip: The quality of the video is lower while streaming so I recommend downloading or using google drive if thats an issue

There’s a lot happening in this episode which is significant and one of the most interesting things for me is the portrayal of August. There have already been indications of something of a redemption arc and in the strike, August is presented as a natural leader, someone people pay attention to, for example, when Vincent fails to get the students to listen to him, August immediately quietens the room. He’s already organised the petition, too. He clearly wants to renew his relationship with Sara, but he is at least supportive of her returning to school and is wishing her luck in her driving theory test, extending the possibility of accepting a friendship with her. The revelation that Erik was involved in a demeaning and traumatic initiation which was inflicted on him-and on Nils, too, as he’s also a third year- now presents August and to some extent, his past behaviour, in a different light. Of course, he shouldn’t have shot the video, let alone posted it and it could be said that knowing that he was subjected to abuse himself and still did that actually makes his actions even worse. But it’s surely unfortunately true that some people who have been victims of abuse go on to abuse others, caught in a vicious cycle of perpetuating it, out of shame and self-hatred. It doesn’t excuse August’s behaviour, but it does help to fill out the picture we previously had of August as the guy we all love to hate, into a damaged, traumatised individual, who’s never recovered from his experience, perhaps compounded by his already troubled family background and financial pressures. Malte is such a fine actor, who lets us see August’s true feelings here, by the expression in his eyes and the way he talks about the person he really most looked up to and who may have been something of a father-figure to him being a perpetrator or at least a bystander in the abuse he suffered. He may be accused of saying this to Wille out of a spiteful impulse, but I also think that he simply needs to express the truth about what happened to him. Simon correctly identifies August’s description of the ‘benefits’ of not eating as an eating disorder and suddenly, the obsessive working out, the pinching non-existent rolls of stomach fat, seen from season 1 onwards...it all makes sense now, in being connected to a shaming ritual in which he was forced to strip naked and sexually humiliated in front of his peers. Interesting that the other students hearing the same description just laughed, again showing how there’s really no-one for August to talk to or confide in, because they just wouldn’t get it. There’s only Sara and she is separating herself from him for justifiable reasons, or ironically, Wille, who doesn’t want to be near him, let alone talk to him….just look at how he can’t even stand next to him outside Boris’ office before this conversation begins. This show is so well acted but it’s also so well -written.

something i just love about your reactions is how you always try to see both perspectives and think about why characters say things and why they act the way they do. it gets frustrating sometimes when ppl talk ab this show cause they tend to be on either willes side or simons side, when there really shouldnt be any sides😭 theyre both victims and are both going through shit in different ways, are both two 16 year old boys just trying their best
