Adolescence Review: Adolescence, which stars Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty and others, is about a family that is split apart after 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is taken into custody for the death of a girl at her school. Was it he who did it? The parents don't think it's true. The cops are looking for the motives.
Adolescence promotes a distinctive storytelling approach in which the breadth of the crime and its consequences is expanded upon in each episode. The British Netflix drama is currently the number one series worldwide.
The first episode of Adolescence focuses on the boy's arrest, while the second episode follows the investigators who investigate the case at Jamie's school in an attempt to learn more about the motive and murder weapon.
The emotional upheaval of Jamie Miller's family following his detention and his meeting with a child psychologist who must draft a pre-trial report on his mental health are the main topics of episodes three and four of Adolescence.
