Binged adolescence over the weekend. As a father of boys aged 14 and 12 it hit home very hard. Everything about it was superb, but feel they could have made more of it and explored some themes further. Excellent writing and the acting was unreal.
That said, it’s great to see a piece of tv that is short, sharp and done without flab.
I'm glad that it was four parts and thought the ending was really good. It could have been dragged out and that would have made it less powerful.
So many great performances from Stephen Graham over the years.
I'd recommend a watch of 'The Virtues' on Channel 4 catch up assuming its still available if you're a Stephen Graham fan. Shown in 2019 and made with Shane Meadows - another amazing acting performance and powerful storyline.
After reading the posts on here i've just binge watched Adolescence, incredible viewing. the 1st and 3rd episodes were brilliant.
Stephen Graham is as amazing as ever, but the kid in it is going to go far. Brilliant acting from anyone, never mind a kid in his first acting kid. And i've just read for his second role he's now doing a film with Margot Robbie!
