Adolescence - Netflix Limited Series **No Spoilers Please**

[KSB2424 3,148]

Has anyone watched his yet?   I just finished episode 3 and blown away by 1. How it is filmed, I'm sure there is a cinematic term but the camera follows around the actors then switches scenes without changing location, its very cool.  2. Freaking superb acting, off the charts by essentially everyone, but the main character kid is fantastic in this role.  

I don't want to give anything away but so far I highly recommend it.  It's pretty heavy. 

[BiffTannen 866]

I watched it and googled - Is there a season 2?  I guess there isn't. 

[BiffTannen 866]

I weatched the entire thing and found it a somewhat interesting, despite the fact if was a foreign film. It had potential to be a decent show, but at the end of the day, I hat steering wheels on the wrong side of a vehicle and those that don't speak American

[Hawkeye21 2,380]

I just finished it last night.  It's a very well done show and I think all parents should watch it.  Anyone in education or a profession that works with children should watch it.  It really makes you think.

It was slow but I wouldn't call it horrid.

Thanks or the update.

Netflix didn't produce the movie though.  All they did was put it on their platform for people to view.

[Hardcore troubadour 14,906]

Of course they made the killer a white kid.  The only case in recent times in Britain of a young boy stabbing a girl to death was a black Muslim. Go figure.

 Because Netflix always does this stuff and the murder (s) are recent?

Take a break from getting upset by everything and try enjoying things for what they are.  It was well made show.

I don’t think enjoy would be the best word. But thanks for the advice, Gump.

  Spoilers below!!!

…And I kept expecting a twist. Despite the video, I thought, maybe someone else did it. That maybe he assaulted her but the big deed was done by someone else.

It's ridiculous, especially considering the upswing in these attacks over the last few years. 

So, naturally, instead of producing something that stabs at the heart of this matter, they whitewash with the character in question being the least likely demographic to carry this out. 

One of the more recent heinous attacks took place at a Taylor Swift themed party for young girls, aged 8-11. 

A black muslim teen went in and butchered them, killing three of these young ladies in the process - when the news initially broke of the assailant, the picture they disseminated was of a young, innocent looking schoolboy (similar MSM playbook as the good ol' USofA) - until his mugshot came out, and he had the demonic, hateful stare of a crazed psycho. 

It was later revealed that he had further terror attacks planned, and was a voracious consumer of radical Jihad propoganda/info. 

But, sure ... let's not highlight that case, or the dozens of others that break similar ... let's fall it all on whitey, and rally 'round that.

I only quoted HT because my mind didn't stay focused on the actual film but started thinking about the Central Park Jogger Rape Case where the boys were interviewed by crooked cops and lawyers and led down a path where they were found guilty but were in fact innocent. I thought maybe that was going to be the case for this movie drama. I wasn't thinking about race at all, other than thinking that the boy was so cute and how could he ever consider himself, or how dare anyone think he was ugly.

But for you racist race baiters:

Adolescence is not based on the Southport attack or a single case. It was already in production and being filmed before Southport happened.

Well, it’s true. I didn’t know until after I was done watching. It might have been better this way bc I wouldn’t watch a show about a black immigrant killing a white girl. I’ll just turn on the news for that story. 
The ending was unfulfilling. They could have spent more time on his decision besides doing it over just a phone call to the dad.

the Central Park 5 were on the scene, and participated in the attack after that poor woman was beaten nearly to death.  

They were not just innocent lads skipping about with ice cream cones when suddenly set upon by police - plz stop. 

As to your other point ... so, driving home the fact that the recent knife murders in England are pretty much all carried out by brown skinned folk is "race baiting"? 

Would be like me accusing you of similar if you said all Klansmen lynchings were carried out by whites

[avoiding injuries 1,505]

About the ending, I get that their hands were tied because of the one-shot filming and not being able to do more, but it felt like one of the biggest pieces of the plot was rushed.

No they didn't! What you're saying is crazy! If they raped and abused her they wouldn't be innocent, they'd be 2nd assailants. A kid was imprisoned who only went to the police department with his friend as a support, he wasn't even there that night. Watch the documentary.

No, it's race baiting to say claim that this movie is white-washing a murder carried about by a black person. This movie and that horrible murder had nothing to do with one another. I'm not familiar with the case but trust and believe that black kids aren't the only people committing murders in this world.

Are you related to Jessah Jackson or Rev. Al?

They also participated in other attacks in the park that night.  They took the testimony of a guy in prison that participated in the gang rape of his own mother to set them free. He’s 100’pct nuts.

They did, that is true, they were knocking people down and robbing people.

 "Ultimately, there proved to be no physical or forensic evidence recovered at the scene or from the person or effects of the victim which connected the defendants to the attack on the jogger, or could establish how many perpetrators participated."

I'd rather watch the "Snow White" reboot ... it's more plausible, less of a fairy tale.

Shocker! 

Maybe because it doesn't sate the MSM's wont for racial sensationalism, as in "white on black" crimes ... which, btw, are so few and far between.

No, they certainly are not. 

However, in that corner of the world, where this bullshit show is centered, yes ... yes, they (brown skinned folks) are the perpetrators of the specific crime(s) detailed in this particular show. 

 

[Hardcore troubadour 14,906]

The word of one psycho that gang raped his own mother was taken over a team of experienced detectives, the manhattan Da’s sex crimes unit, a grand jury, a judge and a jury and an appeals court and the statements of the 5 and their family. Only in NY and only because DeBlasio was sucking up to the black community, as usual. GTFO.

Keep in mind that each episode was one long shot.  So, whoever they were focusing on that episode is where the camera was the entire time.  I though it was incredibly well done.

[Hawkeye21 2,380]

I think some are missing the point of the movie.  It's not about race or what's going on with Muslims in the UK.  It's about being a child and being the parents of a child in school during the current age of social media.  I don't know how race was what you thought about while watching.

[peenie 1,896]

I am not going to sit here and argue about the dang-on old Central Park Jogger Case details. If you don't like what I wrote, too MF bad.

The show was good, imo, because it shows how there is a big gap between the generations due to social media.
