Digital Spy
Top-notch dramas have an unforgettable impact on you and inspire discussion, and that’s exactly what ‘Adolescence’ accomplishes.
Rolling Stone
This program is not light viewing… However, the powerful message and bold delivery of ‘Adolescence’ make it one of the most exceptional shows – and a strong candidate for the top spot – that you’ll watch on television screens this year.
The New York Times
This work employs suffering and astonishment as a means to explore intriguing queries and societal analyses. Despite being centered around a teenager, the themes it presents are mature in nature.
London Evening Standard
Disregarding the immense technical talent required for creating such a show, everyone featured in this series is simply fantastic.
The Daily Telegraph
“It is a drama so quietly devastating that I won’t forget it for a very long time.“
Collider
Teenage years, depicted in this series, aren’t merely entertaining (they can be, oddly enough), but they rank among the most significant shows I’ve watched in a while.
The Hollywood Reporter
Thankfully, the cinematography generally enhances not only a gripping story that echoes today’s unease but also the brilliant performances delivered by actors such as Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, and the remarkable new talent, Owen Cooper.
Wall Street Journal
“Adolescence is, at the center of its broken heart, an examination of tormented youth.”
Adolescence is streaming on Netflix.
