felipe l A gem this year, totally immersive, with incredibly natural performances, and majestic camera work, allowing them to create this unmissable work. In fact, I'll be watching it again. Goodbye. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Steve W I admire the long shots, but when it’s the only thing done it is incredibly boring. I watched the last two episodes at 1.5X speed and feel like I missed nothing. Overall very little actually happens in this series. Lots of small talk banter focused on building characters with little tying to any type of (nonexistent) intricate plot. It is mostly emotional dialogue, and the masculinity talks in episode 3 were really cringy; people don’t talk like that in the real world…..social media headslappers attempting to be inserted into life. Doesn’t work, never does, and pulled me away from any appreciation I had up until that point because at the end of the day, youre talking about a basically bipolar kid being bullied and snapping one day. That’s the plot. Kid was a product of his environment less parents. Even the girls friends they made you want to dislike. So none of it tied together and seemed like even the writers were confused as to what they actually believed vs. the message they wanted to deliver. It’s fiction, so sure, anything goes I guess but for most of us it was a big ol snoozefest with admirable cinematography. Easy pass. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Bob A Mind boggling how the critics thought this script was good. Within hours of the crime the police were convinced they had solved the crime. It seemed preposterous but after stringing the viewer along for several more episodes they had in fact solved it and the kid confesses without saying why? Don’t waste your time Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Joseph L Yawn. It appears this show has another agenda other than actual entertainment. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Christopher H This show is nonsense. Pure fiction. These white teenagers are not the evil ones that this is loosely based on Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Audience Member Adolescence hit me hard in the best way. The storytelling is honest and intimate, the pacing flows naturally, and the cinematography pulls you right into the emotion of every scene. Performances feel real, not forced. And the direction is confident without ever trying too hard. This is one of those films that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Big respect to everyone who made this. The best Tv Show I've seen in 2025 so far, probably in my all-time best list. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
