Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News It’s powerful and finds Graham being a force in front of and behind the camera. Rated: 3/4 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard Putting aside the technical skill involved in making a show like this (which is surely titanic), everybody in this series is wonderful. Rated: 4/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) It is a drama so quietly devastating that I won’t forget it for a very long time. Rated: 5/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Laura Jane Turner Digital Spy The very best drama has the power to irrevocably move you and spark conversation, and Adolescence does both. Rated: 5/5 Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Adolescence is heartbreaking and unnerving with fantastic performances, especially from young Owen Cooper. Rated: 5/5 Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut The gimmick is always used to enhance the particulars of the story, which it’s important to note is not so much a “whodunit” but more a “whydunit” and, eventually, something else entirely. Rated: 4/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
