Adolescence, streaming on Netflix, is more about a tragic loss of adolescence. The show opens with police in a northern English town bursting into the bedroom of 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) and arresting him because he’s suspected of stabbing a female classmate named Katie to death.
Over four episodes , the Miller family is run through the wringer as they are catapulted into the criminal justice system. The show, which was filmed in one continuous shot and makes viewers feel like they are in the middle of the chaos, touches on ever-relevant themes like the dangers of social media and society’s expectations of what it means to be masculine.
