Adolescence- amazing acting, amazingly filmed and very powerful .
Must watch for everyone , especially if you have young children.

I think S2 has lacked some of the intensity and tightly-wound focus that S1 had - and no doubt it will be more so in the 3rd and final series - but you’re right, it’s still must-watch stuff, and then some.

It’s insanely good. The casting makes it

And the script. And the direction. And the sound. And the photography. And the acting. And etc etc …

I even love the pace of it and contrary to popular opinion I really enjoyed the ms Cobel episode too!

I’m gonna reserve just a small degree of judgment till I’ve watched the season-ender this weekend though; how they handle that is going to make a real difference for me.

As I said, it depends on whether things move around.

The film "1917" was supposed to be done in "one take" as it was proposed before release, but proved to be a lie.



"Why was 1917 filmed in one-shot?

Why Sam Mendes made 1917 look like it was shot in a single, continuous take. The director wanted his World War I drama to feel more like “a ticking-clock thriller” than a war movie."

There’s a big difference between looking like it was shot in one take and it actually being shot in one take. 1917 wanted to look like it was, Adolescence actually was.

Yeah it has some filler episodes, it seems a lot of good series do that, 'From' suffers with that as well

 

[BlueTG]

Boiling Point (2021) with Stephen Graham was shot in one take.

 

[Bill Walker]

The ending of season 2 has a brilliant plot twist that sets it up for a 3rd season

Bloody hell I only just realised that the detective Travis Fimmel was Ragnar Lothbrok in Vikings.

 

[One Fan Clapping]

Been watching Unforgotten on ITVx. Must have missed it first time round but pretty good stuff.

 

[Pezzer2]

Watching Toxic Town on Netflix. Jodie Whittaker. Good so far.

Filmed in Sale . Will have to tune into this tonight

 

[N1985]

Adolescence sounds amazing BUT harrowing - not sure if i want to endure that

Yeah not for me either. I use TV as a way to escape. Sounds like it would drag me down into misery for 4 hours

Finally got around to finishing Paradise.

This was very good. After the edge-of-the-seat first episode, it did settle down and you wondered where it was going, but episode #7 was terrific, really tense, heart-pounding stuff.
Episode #8 finished the series off nicely and in an unexpected way and set up season 2.

What age kid would it be appropriate to watch Adolescence with. Got a 14 year old.

About 14

Watching Toxic Town on Netflix. Jodie Whittaker. Good so far.

Watched that the other week. Very good and just shows how the actions of a few corrupt people flouting environmental protection laws can damage peoples lives. Jodie Whittaker does a a surprisingly good rough Glaswegian.

 

[PinkFinal]

Zero Day (Netflix)

Very good. For some reason they are using the Sex Pistols Who Killed Bambi in some of the episodes. I'm on ep 4 , of six I assume.
