It's sad I have to rate this like this. With the right writer this could have been epic. But it wasn't. It was incredibly underdeveloped. The viewer is left questioning everything. It's like they didn't know what they were doing. The only good thing was the kid actor who gave one heck of a performance.

It’s not the sort of show you’d watch with 6-8yo Billy or Billie for that matter; but it’s a great for exactly that reason. Maybe if Mom, dad, Billy and Billie, all sat down and watch this limited series, now streaming on NetFlix, they would understand each other better and better express themselves. The series follows Jamie Miller, a very young 13yo-teen, played aptly by Owen Cooper. The language is raw and straight off the streets of London, Dublin, L.A., San Antonio, or anywhere. He uses the sort of vulgar kid jargon, referencing private-parts, and more (and much worse), and is quick tempered and easily moved to be loud and sometimes violent anger. The series is real and gripping as Jamie is arrested on a shocking charge of attempted murder. “Adolescence” is four (4) episodes, and makes an appropriate starting point for hard talks with children and young relatives about life, school, education, sex, their body, self image, goals, hobbies & interests… there is so much that can be taken from this series.
~William J. O’Brien (Oh), is a native of Memphis, Tennessee, and currently lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his husband and enjoys television, radio, films, music and of course a good series???

The whole thing is a masterpiece. From the characters, to the scenes, the acting, the direction, the camera work, the plot, the way everything in it has such a deep meaning, can go on and on with analysing the scenes. The way they potrayed the thinking of a 13 year old boy towards women, the dangers of social media. EXCELLENT WORK. Cant remember the last time a TV show/series or a movie impressed me like this. Its a 100/100 a MUST watch
