Anyone with teen children need to watch Adolescence on Netflix
"Adolescence" is a compelling four-part limited series streaming on Netflix, co-created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne. The drama delves into the aftermath of a shocking incident where 13-year-old Jamie Miller, portrayed by newcomer Owen Cooper, is accused of murdering his schoolmate, Katie Leonard. Stephen Graham stars as Eddie Miller, Jamie's father, navigating the turmoil that ensues within their family and community.
Each episode is uniquely filmed in a continuous one-shot style, enhancing the immersive storytelling experience. The series explores critical themes such as toxic masculinity, the influence of social media on youth, and the societal factors contributing to adolescent violence. It aims to prompt discussions about the responsibilities of communities in addressing these pressing issues.
