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.

100 % regarding the cinematography. It's stunning. Also 100% on the touching on issues that can be easily politicized, but aren't in this series. Although I've seen some public converstaions in British Press, I think it could have gone a little deeper. I think the bullying angle was touched too lightly. I loved how they laid bare generational differences in communication... It gives a lot too think and talk about, and I really liked the humanity.

Love anything with the goat Stephen Graham so I knew I'd love this too. Amazing acting and cinematography. Check out Boiling Point if you have a chance, different topic but also shot in one go and with SG as lead.

Really enjoyed the single-take approach, must be very tricky especially working with children. But honestly, I would watch anything with Stephen Graham in it.

The kid really is remarkable and Stephen Graham is every parent. In the UK, some schools are implementing anti misogyny courses to stop toxic masculinity. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14527891/amp/Schools-boys-anti-misogyny-lessons-stop-toxic-masculinity-Netflix-Adolescence.html
