Erin Doherty on Adolescence, new Netflix drama hailed as one of the shows of the year
Erin Doherty in the new Netflix series Adolescence.
A 13-year-old boy is accused of murder in Adolescence - an intense and gripping new series from Netflix that has already become a talking point.
Family, masculinity and self-image are all examined in the four-hour series in which Jamie (an astonishing debut from Owen Cooper) is dramatically arrested and taken from his home, to the shock and despair of his father (actor and co-creator Stephen Graham) Like Boiling Point - also from director Philip Barantini - the series is filmed in one continuous shot, effectively adding to the jittery sense of drama as the facts of the case become known in real time.
