This was an important piece of work with incredible performances. Sadly, with media literacy being so low these days, I think a lot of people will miss its message. The way the story is told isn't as important as what it's actually trying to say. Many will go into this expecting a typical crime dra

A searing dissection of how society, amplified and incited by social media, has shaped and indoctrinated an entire generation of young men—telling them how they should act, how they can and should act around women, and what they are entitled to from women. Adolescence not only subverts the tired UK

“i should’ve done better” that broke me

The most compelling acting I’ve seen so far. This is a necessary show that is a PSA and should win somebody an oscar. Adolescence tackles the lack of positive role models for young boys, incels, and after watching parents might actually talk to their kids and ponder before they get them a phone. We

EMMY’S FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED RIGHT NOW!!!!!

A very important tv show, I don’t think I’ve seen the topic of these manosphere type influencers and the influence they have on young teenage boys, but it’s a genuinely serious issue that’s getting worse, I think this was a great warning on what can happen The acting was phenomenal, everyone was to

just like baby reindeer last year this miniseries, that came out of nowhere, will be a major contender in every award show. I have no doubt. from a technical standpoint this was an incredible achievement as every episode was filmed in a single take. adding to the intensity of what was happening on

༆𝐌𝐲 𝐀𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰༆ ★★★★☆ 𝟴.𝟴/𝟭𝟬 If you still wonder about watching this miniseries, just do it. What is 4 hours in your life? Just stop whatever you’re watching and go for it. You will witness this impressive and well

philip barantini is one-shot god.

4.2 This in a raw and honest way, what many young people have to face every day—things that adults either don’t want to see or just don’t understand. It doesn’t try to give a neat ending or a moral lesson because its goal isn’t to tell you what’s right or wrong, but to show reality as it is. From t

A good but overrated miniseries imo. I you have seen when they see us you cant help but compare these two, And imo its way better especially in story and acting. This being one shoted is also pretty insane. Jaimies actor and especially Steven Graham were very good in this. I would really like to the

top tier television, which i wouldnt think i'd be saying about a netflix original. baby reindeer was good as well tbf but not top tier for me now that i look back on it. this is genuinely some insane shit and i think its so good that this was made. incel culture, misogyny, etc is such a huge issue r

It was a good message of knife crime in the UK but I kinda wanted to see the trial and him being sentenced

Every now and then I am left in awe by a TV show that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere for me, without me knowing much about it. A TV show that would apparently fall into the category of being "just another" one, or at best being a "good show", but which in the end turned out to be one of the

4/5 - 4.25 “I’m sorry, son I should have done better” - adding it to my heartbreaking list of quotes! I want to see Emmys. Phenomenal series. Tragic. Very relevant, well written, outstanding acting. Shocking for a Netflix find. If something as awful as Baby Reindeer could win, then this should swe

a somewhat intense & emotional 4 part miniseries about a boy who is arrested for the killing of a classmate. the entire thing is done in one continuous shot with no cuts, & while this is what makes the show unique, it’s also where it drags it down. i can see where the claims of “boring” are comin

"i'm sorry son, i should've done better." I highly recommend everyone who hasn't watched this yet to go do so, it's only 4 hours long. This was so horrifying and heartbreaking to watch and the performances were just absolutely incredible. (they better get awards for this!)

To be completely honest, I only decided to watch this show when Jeremy Clarkson tweeted (or X'd?) "Adolescence. The camera at the end of show 2. How on earth did they do that? It’s impossible.". If someone that old who's been in the TV industry that long and has seen everything is posting about a sh

The last 2 episodes of this show made me come to the conclusion that this show is a masterpiece and deserves 5 stars. At first I thought this would js be a normal murder mystery of a teenager being accused of murder but I was wrong this show was something else. The cinematography of this show was pe

This deserves all the attention and praise it's getting. I love the message it has and as a show it's so unique to other crime thrillers. Amazing work by everyone involved.

All 4 episodes being done in one shot was insane and the acting was incredible

watched all in one sitting, and too much to say. those who work in education are so close to this issue, and honestly, feel like episode 2 should be required watching for young teachers who potentially do have the ability to alter the way stories like this play out. harrowingly transparent and re

Really impressive how they filmed this show, the guy who played Jamie was insanely good at acting for being 14 or 15 years old and this is his first role ever. 9/10
