Crime drama starring Stephen Graham reclaims Netflix's top 10 positions yet again, impressing viewers with its proficient presentation.
After six months on Netflix, the limited series "Adolescence" has once again found its way back to the streaming giant's top 10 chart. This gripping drama, which follows the story of a 13-year-old school kid accused of murder, has captivated audiences and critics alike.
The series, which delves deep into the complex motives behind the crime and its devastating impact on the protagonist Jamie Miller's family, especially his father Eddie, has been praised for its masterful storytelling. Each of the four episodes was captured in a single take, adding to the emotional intensity of the narrative.
"Adolescence" has been a major success for Netflix, becoming the most-viewed British show ever on the platform. The series has also received critical acclaim, with Stephen Graham, who plays Eddie, being hailed as "the British actor of a generation." His performance earned him an Emmy Award this year.
Owen Cooper, who plays the teenage protagonist Jamie, also made history by becoming the youngest person ever to win an Emmy for his role. The series itself won a total of eight Emmys, including six additional awards at the ceremony.
The series addresses important social issues, such as knife crime in the UK and references the 'manosphere.' It puts the viewer in the thick of the community it portrays, offering a raw and authentic portrayal of adolescence.
With its compelling storyline, award-winning performances, and thought-provoking themes, it's no wonder that "Adolescence" has remained on many people's watch lists for months. As it currently sits at no.10 in Netflix's chart, it could potentially rise further, continuing its successful run on the platform.
