The suspect, a 13-year-old boy, is still upstairs in bed as a policeman with a submachine gun charges in. There must be a mistake, his parents scream in protest as rights are read out and an arrest is made. There isn\u2019t; their child is wanted for murder.By 7.15am the detainee, Jamie, has already been brought into custody, subjected to medical tests, introduced to a public solicitor and interrogated by detectives who have compelling evidence to suggest that he fatally stabbed a local schoolgirl. The entire hour plays out in real time with no cuts; the raid, the mundane police bureaucracy, the family\u2019s shock all captured in one continuous shot.So begins Adolescence: a rattling, wrenching new Netflix mini-series written by playwright Jack Thorne and actor Stephen Graham that follows the aftermath of a heinous tragedy over four remarkable single-take instalments, each set in a specific moment and place. After the morning at the station, we\u2019re taken into Jamie\u2019s school \u2014 where the news that one classmate has murdered another sparks chaos \u2014 and later his home \u2014 where his anguished parents try to come to terms with what\u2019s happened. A two-hander between Jamie and a psychologist, meanwhile, takes us inside the teen\u2019s internet-addled mind.Taken together, the episodes form what might be called a state-of-the-generation drama. It explores the timeless anxieties of growing up but also examines timely concerns about the pervasiveness of \u201cmanosphere\u201d misogyny and male rage in schools and on social media.\u00a0Adolescence broaches these thorny issues with solemnity, sensitivity and an abundance of technical virtuosity. Having honed the one-take technique in 2021\u2019s Boiling Point, series director Philip Barantini shoots with a dynamism that\u2019s not only visually impressive but integral to making each moment feel immediate and queasily real.\u00a0Despite the complex choreography presumably required to pull off the long take, the performances too are shot through with rare authenticity. Every one of the main cast compels and convinces, from Ashley Walters as a detective inspector struggling to understand today\u2019s teens, to Erin Doherty, who plays a psychological evaluator shaken by her explosive encounter with the troubled boy.\u00a0\u00a0Yet among this excellent ensemble, two actors stand out. As Jamie\u2019s father, Eddie, Stephen Graham carries the weight of intermingled feelings of love and shame, anger and self-reproach, before releasing it all in the heart-rending final minutes. And newcomer Owen Cooper is revelatory as Jamie, switching seamlessly between lost child and angry, hateful young teen capable of genuine malice; he is little short of astonishing in the profoundly disquieting two-hander episode.Being repeatedly confronted with such raw emotion and unvarnished realities can make for draining, bruising viewing, but the unblinking camera keeps watching. Adolescence asks that we do the same.\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605On Netflix now<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
