Adolescence Review: An Impeccable Masterpiece – Mandatory Watch!
Adolescence is a gripping top notch layered roller coaster dealing with the highly relevant themes of adulting, impact of influencers, teenage insecurities, social media indoctrination, deep misogyny, and parenting challenges in modern world! A catastrophic, horrific and moving experience!
Just watch it! Every parent, every educator and every teenager should watch it!
Spoilers ahead, if you continue to read!
Adolescence is about how an incident changes the lives of a family. A 13 year young boy is accused of a murder and arrested from his home. The four episodes cover different perspectives – first episode is a police procedural dealing with arrest in the police station, the second episode showcases the behaviour of teens in contemporary device loaded school, the third episode is the closed door hard hitting interaction of psychologist with the accused and the final episode is the impact on family and life after the event in the home and town.
The show is a masterclass – the amazing idea of a single shot take for the entire episode creates a great impact – like watching live theatrical purpose! Episode 3 will remain one of the finest one hour of television in recent times! Class!
The amazing prowess of actors is on full showcase – how the intelligent posh psychiatrist Erin Doherty engages the accused, uncovers the truth and processes her emotions – just out of this world. The way Stephen Graham as father deals with the situation is exemplary – straddling shock, concern, anger and regret! His facial emotions say what words cannot ever say – when the child is stripped – pure genius at work. And the debutant 15-year-old Owen Cooper as the central character slays it – from a pant-wetting boy to smart
conversationalist to angry male – he is rocking!
Adolescence is the best of television for you!
“I should’ve done better”
I do not think any closing lines have created such a thought-provoking deep impact in recent times as these ones in the Adolescence! Totally Devastating!
(Casablanca, Gone With The Wind and Silence Of The Lambs are my all-time favourites for beautiful ending one liners!)
Do you like me?
Do you think I am ugly?
Are we safe in our homes?
The mental repercussion of thoughts like these emerge in a Netflix redeeming spectacular show!
And more questions emerge!
How can we do a good parenting job?
Can good produce evil?
How can kids deal with social media?
How much technology is good?
Adolescence is the perfect mix of gut-wrenching contemporary premise, dazzling performances, technical impeccability and devastating impact that calls for action and conversations!
Ladies and gentlemen, watch the finest piece of artistic work today!
