Adolescence

It felt so real, and I guess that's because it is. The ability to highlight modern struggles with masculinity and the harm social media can cause to anyone, especially children just made it so impactful and so harrowing. A truly perfect display of bringing today's imperfections forward and highlighting the harm that it can and will and already has caused. "I'm sorry son, I should've done better." Is one of the most heartbreaking lines delivered in recent memory. I can't recommend this enough I really can't. (Honestly should go into my top 4 and the only reason it isn't is because it's a series and not a movie.) Also as a side note it felt like half the cast from 'A Thousand Blows' were in this mini series. It's like they thought "ah fuck it, one perfect series wasn't enough let's just bang out another real quick."
