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.

Saw Graham recently in a film called Yardie talking in a Jamaican accent, he's great.looking forward to seeing Adolescence

I saw that too, reminded me of another great actor, Gary Oldman, in True Romance.

I think he has a Jamaican grandparent. 

He’s played it all - an English neo-Nazi, Italian-American gangster and a Jamaican nightclub owner! Such a talented actor.
