  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Compelling drama grounded in reality and very contemporary dangers.

  The one-shot thing is more than a feat, but takes this heightened naturalism and plurality of emotions to the next level.

  Excellent limited series that is a must-watch of the year.

  Nonetheless an entertaining ride and big film that makes you enjoy the cinematic experience despite flaws.

  Bonus points for a prominent Tim Key.
