Ross McIndoe Slant Magazine The series clears space to ask pressing, complicated, and unsettling questions. Rated: 4/4 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Liz Shannon Miller Consequence However they’re executed, what the long shot brings to the screen is something that’s hard to capture: Immediacy. And there’s something profound about the impact that has on Adolescence. Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) A truly memorable and compelling show. Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community Adolescence (2025) delivers a powerful narrative that is both intimate in nature and wide-reaching in scope. Its pervasive camera work resonates every emotion in a uniquely engaging way, allowing the brilliance of its actors and story to shine. Rated: 9.5/10 Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Jeff York The Establishing Shot The series is a devastating piece of work, yet so skillful that you will be in awe of all its accomplishments from the very first minute to its very last one. Rated: 4/4 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Margot Harrison Seven Days (VT) The power of "Adolescence" lies not in its topical alarmism but in its realism, its gripping use of the tools of procedural drama to lay bare the circumstances around one horrifying act of violence. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member not recommended, only ep1 is good Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Elizabeth M Episode 1 was good.. but past that a waste of time. Would not recommend this series. Wish I wouldn’t have watched. Would give zero stars if possible. 👎🏽 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Amy H I didn't think I could watch it, but I'm so glad that I did. Somehow they've made this subject moving, compelling, horrifying, and still hopeful. Hopeful. I have to credit the screenwriters and the incredible cast. One of the best things, if not the best thing, I've ever seen on television. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Valeria M Il progetto sacrifica la profondità in nome dell’ambizione stilistica. Sul tema ho visto molte opere più sentite anche se meno popolari. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review John R Well starting with the good, the young actor playing Jamie put in an epic performance in Ep3. However the rest was slow dreary overly long pieces of screenplay, with much pointless dialog. Why this was so hyped I simply do not know, it could have been done better in half the time. And of course no conclusion !!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Katie S I was so confused by all the hype. I had watched 4 episodes and kept waiting for more, because surely it will get better. I must be missing something, right? Then I realized it is only 4 episodes and it’s terrible Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
