Adolescencia

I don't normally write a review but I decided to write this because EVERYONE should watch Adolescence. It is a rollercoaster of a show. Every episode takes you down a different rabbit hole. The writing is impeccable. The characters are perfectly executed by the actors. Episode one was heartbreaking, episode two had me holding my breath as I watched it, episode three was shocking and unexpected and episode four was heartbreaking all over again. I am most certainly going to sit and watch this again as I feel that there is such complexity and depth that I will see even more next time round. Congrats to everyone involved in this project- it is flawless!

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.

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.

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.

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.
