Adolescence on Netflix [View all]

This is a British tv series with 4 episodes. I binge watched it last night. The basic story is about a 13 year old boy who is accused of murdering a female classmate. Mostly its an exploration of adolescence, of parenting, and of cyberbullying.

Its an extremely powerful and realistic drama. The accent makes their speech very difficult to understand- I wish I had watched it with captions.

Highly recommended.
