Hey everyone, it’s Noah R. here! I recently watched Adolescence on Netflix, and wow—this show hits hard. It’s a British miniseries that follows a 13-year-old boy, Jamie, who’s been arrested for a violent crime. From the very first episode, the show pulls you into a world full of pressure, fear, and emotion.
The most impressive part? Each episode is filmed in one continuous shot. It seriously makes you feel like you’re right there with the characters in real-time. It’s super intense and adds a whole new level of realism to everything happening on screen.
The cast is amazing too, Owen Cooper as Jamie is hauntingly good, and the adult cast (especially Stephen Graham) adds a ton of emotional weight. The story dives into stuff like social media, bullying, and how young people today deal with trauma and identity.
There are moments where the pacing gets a little slow, probably because of that one-shot style, but overall, the show is powerful. It’s raw, emotional, and incredibly relevant.
Final Verdict: Definitely recommend if you’re into grounded, thought-provoking dramas with a cinematic edge.
