Season 1 Review:
Every second that passes on the mini-series feels like it belongs, with no time wasted, and a sensation is felt upon a difficult-to-describe conclusion. It could very well be what someone emerging from the other side of trauma can only begin to articulate, or possibly this is what’s left behind in the wake of viewing landmark television. “Adolescence” is just that.

Season 1 Review:
An emotional powerhouse that sneaks up and floors you. The young TV season sets a new gold standard with a drama series that is sure to rank with the year's very best. Polish up Emmys for Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper as the father and son at the heart of a tragedy.

Season 1 Review:
The choreography of camera and bodies, should you care to contemplate it, is remarkable, navigating crowds and corridors and public places with impossible grace. Long, uninterrupted scenes also allow a superb cast to dive into character and the moment. .... And if the series doesn’t wind down to a traditional conclusion, it achieves a novelistic power in the end.

Season 1 Review:
Unfortunately, “Adolescence” ’s flashy, fragmentary approach undermines its attempts to illuminate. .... The series opts to focus more on the societal factors that make such a killing plausible than on Jamie’s specific desires and concerns, its perspective is only ever that of an outsider. And though it pays lip service to Katie’s neglected humanity, its true sympathy lies less with the victim than with the grownup bystanders trying to make sense of it all.
