Adolescence on Netflix parents guide: Is the miniseries appropriate for teens?

New British miniseries Adolescence is now streaming on Netflix. And honestly, it's one of the best shows I've watched in a long time, and I feel like will really resonate with viewers. Despite the title of the drama and the character at the center of the story being 13-year-old Jamie Miller, is the show appropriate for teens and a younger audience?
Well officially, Adolescence has been rated TV-ma. The age rating means that a production may contain scenes and content not fitting for those who are under 17 years old. Netflix sites that the more mature rating is due to language. But since this is also billed as a crime drama and thriller, you may have questions. Well, we're going to break it all down for you here without spoilers.
