Adolescence

god I can’t believe it took me this long to watch this. the acting and cinematography in this is actually insane, owen cooper, stephen graham, ashley walters and erin doherty deserve every bit of praise for this, I was truly blown away. episode 3 in particular, actual chills  I think the one thing I left wanting this series to do more, was put a little more of a focus on how exactly these boys are being radicalised. as much as someone who is more online could relate and understand the nuances of what adam is explaining to his dad, many older people, especially parents probably would just take away the sentiment that social media = bad, which is just the tip of the iceberg affecting these boys. another thing I was hoping for more was a little more insight into katie, especially since in episode 2, ds frank mentions how the focus in these is always on the perpetrator rather than the victim, and then for the show to not have any focus on the victim felt a little ehh overall though, fantastic limited series and this kid is going places!
