Rahul Da CunhaIt takes a village to raise a child,” Stephen Graham said in an interview about his show Adolescence. Two real life murders, in both cases a young man knifing a young girl, occurring in opposite sides of the UK, inspired him to create his show, about a 13-year-old who stabs a fellow female pupil.

For the uninitiated, Adolescence is a four-part series, each episode 60 minutes long, shot in one continuous take. In my recent memory I have never experienced a show, that is so immersive, so incisive, and so invigorating—a show that is never showey. Each episode explores, multi POVs, the protagonist—13-year-old Jamie—his parents, the police, and the psychologist—uniquely there is no pointing of fingers, though every parent will end up wondering what happens behind the closed doors of their kids bedroom, ruing the fact, that the world can’t return to a place of kids playing under the blue skies, rather than behind a blue screen.
