Adolescence episode 1 review | A horrific crime kicks off Philip Barantini’s new drama
Stephen Graham plays the father of a teenager suspected of a brutal murder in the latest Netflix TV show from Philip Barantini. Here’s our review of Adolescence episode 1.
Early mornings are sacred. They’re meant for getting ready for the day in peace and quiet, preparing for whatever the day holds. And coffee, lots and lots of coffee. So imagine the police forcing their way into your house just after 6am and taking your son on suspicion of murder.
This is exactly the situation Eddie Miller (Stephen Graham) finds himself in during the first episode of Adolescence. His son Jamie (a superb Owen Cooper) is suspected of murdering a local girl the night before, but the lad swears he didn’t do it. In the first episode of Netflix’s new drama, we follow not just Eddie or Jamie through the episode but the arresting detective Bascombe (Ashley Walters) as Jamie is taken away.
