Jack Thorne(The Virtues, His Dark Materials) has left his mark on the television landscape with his intense, emotionally-charged scripts, and has now teamed up with Stephen Graham, one of the most talented British actors of his generation. Together, they deliver Adolescence, a crime series that promises to be immersive and poignant.
Alongside Ashley Walters(Top Boy) and Erin Doherty(The Crown), Stephen Graham plays a detective faced with a delicate case: a 13-year-old teenager is accused of murder. While his family and a psychologist try to understand what might have happened, the investigation unfolds in real time and in sequence shot, a feature that promises total immersion.
Adolescence will be available on Netflix from March 13, 2025.
Synopsis: When a 13-year-old boy is accused of murder, his family, a clinical psychologist and the detective in charge of the case wonder what really happened.
Shot in real time and in sequence, Adolescence could offer an immersive experience reminiscent of works like Boiling Point, where the camera follows the characters without interruption, creating palpable tension. This approach could reinforce the dramatic impact of the story, plunging viewers into the heart of the investigation, with no escape.
This psychological thriller promises to be particularly intense and realistic, exploring the boundaries between guilt and innocence, while highlighting the moral dilemmas facing the protagonists.
Fans of immersive detective series, appreciating innovative formats such as Unbelievable or Criminal: UK, could be seduced by Adolescence. Those looking for strong dramatic tension and powerful acting, led by Stephen Graham, will undoubtedly find what they're looking for.
On the other hand, if you're uncomfortable with dark plots or intense psychological dramas, this series might not be your first choice.
With Adolescence, Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham offer a breathless dive into a criminal investigation where every second counts. Shot in real time and in sequence, the series promises to be as immersive as it is gripping. A psychological thriller that could well leave its mark on fans of intense crime stories.
