Adolescence

I didn't expect it to be this gutting... really great writing! Jezus especially episode 3 with the psychologist!!

Really amazing acting..

and the topic is SO important.. i am recommending this to everyone i know..

this technology has been overwhelming us.. making victims of whole generations of kids and young adults, not to mention their unsuspecting parents.. and freaking Zuckerberg and the other tech bros wanna go on like they have no responsibility.. yeah, well, watch this series to understand that ALL of us bear a responsibility AND we're SO INTERCONNECTED that we cannot possibly deny it.

It's a hard watch, absolutely haunting. One episode in and I'm already struggling. Acting is Oscar worthy. You find yourself torn between compassion for the accused, and the desire for justice. Being British and living in Texas I'm very proud of this production, genuine art in motion.

Some have said this is boring, and as a hater of boring, I can tell you, it's not boring. Every scene carries trauma, emotion, desperation, confusion and love. It's a hodgepodge of horror and hope.

This is not my normal fair, but I found myself transfixed throughout. It doesn't matter if you're an action fan, horror, sci fi, thriller or drama, this show will have you on the edge.

What an amazing performance from a newcomer. Single, continuous shots, and he hold his own for 50+ minutes an episode. Owen Cooper is a prodigy.

Owen Cooper is the breakout star of Netflix's "Adolescence," a gripping drama featuring Stephen Graham. This 15-year-old from Manchester makes his on-screen debut as Jamie Miller, a young boy accused of a shocking crime. His performance is drawing considerable attention, with many predicting a bright future for the young actor. The series delves into the intense turmoil faced by Jamie and his family, and Cooper's portrayal captures the complexities of a teenager caught in a harrowing situation. He has gone from a normal school boy, to the lead in a high profile netflix drama.

Everyone is praising the acting, cinematography, and the astonishing technical achievement of filming an entire episode in a single continuous shot. And rightfully so. But in the end, what moved me the most in this real-time drama was something far more intimate-the heartbreaking realization of a father who comes to understand that he doesn't truly know his own son.

What can we really do as parents? How much control do we have over the people our children become? Are we responsible for both their virtues and their failings? These are the profound and unsettling questions at the heart of this masterfully crafted slow-burn drama. Every element-its pacing, its visual language, its raw performances-works in perfect harmony to confront us with this timeless, universal dilemma.

Not sure what all the hype was about, I was disappointed. The trailer was intriguing and made the show look interesting so I wanted to check it out.

All the actors casted were great but the show didn't live up to its potential. With all that talent, the show could have been much better.

The first two episodes were engaging and grabbed my attention. It was a unique start and I was looking forward to see how it all ended.

But as I continued to watch, then the story fell flat. All the build up from the first two episodes was misleading.

The last two episodes were uninteresting and didn't wrap up the story very well.
