Topic: Adolescence

https://next-episode.net/adolescence

https://static.next-episode.net/tv-shows-images/huge/adolescence.jpg

Adolescence tells the story of how a family's world is turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie Miller is arrested and charged with the murder of a teenage girl who goes to his school.

Anyone seen this?  Phenomenal acting, gripping and will worry any parent of a young child.  Makes you think.  And each episode was filmed in one take. 

Only 4 episodes so an easy one to binge and will be definitely be up for awards.

2020.  Meh.

Re: Adolescence

Seems to be a quality show, but the topic doesn't interest me, so I'll probably skip it.

Interesting.  If you're a parent or plan to be one day it's 100% worth a watch.  Infact, ignore that, it's worth a watch if you like genuinely good TV, if you can appreciate the acting, the drama, the realism and the technical achievement of the way it was filmed.

2020.  Meh.

Re: Adolescence

Held off on this as the premise seems obviously horribly grim.

More in the mood for "entertainment" of late.
