If you’re a parent to a school-age boy, I don’t know whether I should advise you to watch Adolescence immediately or avoid it at all costs because it will chill your blood. It is a drama so quietly devastating that I won’t forget it for a very long time.
A 13-year-old boy in Yorkshire is arrested on suspicion of murder. The victim is a girl at his school, stabbed to death the night before. Police batter down his door in a dawn raid, and his shell-shocked parents – dad Eddie (Stephen Graham) and mum Manda (Christine Tremarco) – follow him to the police station.
