Adolescence is a British crime drama miniseries created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham and directed by Philip Barantini.

The four-episode series follows the arrest of a 13-year-old schoolboy, Jamie Miller, played by Owen Cooper, who is accused of murdering a female classmate. What also makes the series a masterclass is that each episode is filmed in a single, continuous take.

Stephen, who is co-creator of the show, also plays Eddie Miller, the father of the accused Jamie Miller. It also stars Ashley Walters, Christine Tremarco, Erin Doherty and Faye Marsay.

The series premiered on Netflix on March 13 and has received widespread critical acclaim for its writing, direction, and performances.
