A star is born in the third episode of the new Netflix drama starring Stephen Graham and Ashley Walters.
The only thing more worrying than being a teenager?
Jack Thorne and Stephen Grahams script avoids simplistic answers.
So, what happened?
Is Jamie even guilty?
With technical skill and committed performances,Adolescenceexplores various answers to those questions.
Episode four is similarly impressive thanks to the empathy-generating acting talent of Graham and Tremarco as Jamies parents.
We watch as Jamies family attempts to get the day back after its derailed by a cruelly thoughtless act.
Episode three is the hour ofAdolescenceI couldnt turn away from.
but theyre incidental to the fascinating picture the Cooper builds of the inside of Jamies head.
To say more might spoil the experience, so well stop there.
Adolescenceis by no means a perfect drama.
All episodes of Adolescence are available to stream now onNetflix.
