I did!  It was good, esp the last ep. I cried 🥹

I just finished Adolesence on Netflix. Wow.

It is the most remarkable piece of TV cinema I've seen since Ripley – potentially since White Lotus 1.  (Apologies Penguin and Severence. You were a lot of fun but not quite perigogic for me in the way the best art is.)

*I will avoid spoilers here.*

Let's start with the cinematography: There are four 1-hr episodes, each a single continuous shot. If you think this is just a "film nerd" thing, that alone is reason to watch. The single shot makes the energy of the film feel like that of theater – an anything-can-happen electricity.

Speaking of theater - the quality of acting is stunning. The kind of thing you hope for on the West End stage (where many of the actors were imported from)

The subject, story, and themes are political without being politicized. If you are a parent of a will-be adolescent in this age, I'd almost consider it required watching.

This film sticks with me and has started important conversations with friends.

Let me know what you think.

Me and I thought I was just picking something to try on a weeknight and ended up watching the entire series until 2am!!

I would love to but having a 9yo I am also a bit scared! Do you recommend it?

Just watched Adolescence on Netflix—a disturbing look at how social media influences can shape young teens. The fact that every episode was shot in one take, with no cuts or pauses, is seriously impressive.
