    You should watch the third season. IIRC it has similar stuff with the parents getting on board and the whole digital world interacting with the real world stuff.

      Top tier is Adventure 02 stopping everything after the Digimon Emperor was beat and doing the darkest episode ever about Ken's home life. I can also recall that getting a 'what are you watching?' from my folks.

      I LOVE season 3 and it fucked with me hard as an 11 year old. The same person who made it did Serial Experiment Lain, I actually found an old production website in Japanese that had a lot of offscreen worldbuilding in preproduction. I'm trying to track it down but not having a ton of luck yet. It goes into how they actually researched the fuck out of usenet and IT development to try to get things as close to real as possible as well as philosophical themes and a lot of weirdness, it reads like the notes for a silent hill game more than a kids show
