If you've heard a a lot For the new original Netflix Adolescence series recently, I'm not surprised. This dark, disturbing and attractive story of a young boy named Jameimi Miller (Owen Cooper), who is accused of serious crime, has four episodes - all shot in One single download - Making this limited Serie A technical miracle according to any standard. /Film's own film Chris Evangelista stated that after its release, "adolescence" may be the best original series of Netflix in the whole history of streaming serviceAnd honestly, I'm not inclined to argue with him. Through those four episodes, "adolescence" explores the anxious psyche of Jameimi and, stunningly, makes a huge discovery at the beginning: at the end of the first episode, we see video proof that Jameimi kills a young girl of his class.

Thanks to this, the series is able to explore the motivations behind the brutal attack on Jameimi, slowly but surely revealing that the young boy was involved in online communities full of toxic, "red-degree" men. In an interview with creators Jackack Thorn and Steven Graham-author who is playing and the father of Jameimi's grief, Edi-Thorn said that exploring Jameimi's mind is the driving force behind the series. "Saying drama, that's why-do it, instead, instead of saying, I hope it engages people on different issues," Thorn told Netflix website Tudum. "Questions like," What's going on in our teen boys? "(Director of the series Phil Baranini), Stephen and I look at masculinity - thinking about themselves as men, types of fathers, partners and friends we are, and we doubt some intensity that we are like."

"Adolescence" is, to be clear, a very heavy clock - but it is also brilliantly made and derived. Looking for similar shows to watch next? Here are some selections.

If you looked at "adolescence" and looking for more British crime plays in a serious dark tone, I would direct you right away in the direction of "Brodschorch" ... Although I will admit that I am Specifically Talking about the first season (or, as it is called through the pond, "series"). The first season of "Broadchurch", which contains eight episodes, throws David Tennant as detective inspector Alek Hardy - a recent transplant in the small town of Brodchorch, a veteran detective, but tormented by scandals - and future Oscar's winner, Earn. Together, they are investigating the murder of young Fanny Latimmer (Oscar McNamara), whose body is on the rocks of the city at the beginning of the series. Thanks to Danny's troubled relationship with his family, there are many clues to Hardy and Eli.

The reason I specify that you should look for the season ("Series") 1 of "Broadchurch" during the following two is, honestly, that's the best; The formula worn out its welcome just a little while you progress, despite the excellent performances by both Tennant and Coleman. In that first season there is a order of the killer (sorry) of amazing actors, including Ododi Vitaker, Obeykob Anderson, Arthur Darwill, Athonian Bailey and David Bradley, and because of everything the detectives find out about Danny, they realize that nothing is as simple. (There is an American remake called "Gracepoint" with Tennant makes an American accent along with Anna Gun from "Breaking Bad", but definitely avoid that.)

There is no doubt that "adolescence" is a lot The disturbing clock in that direction, "Baby reindeer" - another British miniser made with Netflix - is also disturbing enough that before you watch, you probably have to double (triple?) Check out the project content warnings. If you decide to move forward and watch it, you will still be richly rewarded; "Baby reindeer", like "adolescence", is a difficult but amazing watch. (You might recognize his name from awards ceremonies like EMI, Golden Globes and SAG awards; During the 2024-2025 awards season, he has selected more awards for his performances and overall excellence of the show.)

So what is the "reindeer for babies"? We open up with Donny Dan (Richard Gad, who also wrote and created the series), a feverish stand-up comedian who lives and works in London, who offers a free cup of tea during a local pub, after other patrons start laughing. No good work is unpunished, unfortunately, because the woman in question - Martha Scott, played by Essica Gunning, who has collected several trophies for her performance - it turns out to be a violent and even dangerous stalker. Because Donny is trying to avoid her, Martha is only growing more aggressive, and when we know about Donny's past, we understand why he is so afraid of Martha ... and why it develops his own obsession. Again, check the "baby reindeer" trigger warnings. It is frightening, but well worth your time.

Another great series - that Also It seems to be the original of Netflix - focusing on "why", not "who" in cases of murder is "Mindhunter", Series by Recognized Director David Fincher It tried to tell the story of how criminal psychology and criminal profiling became such an innate part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Athonate Count Starsevils like Holden Ford, a young special agent joined the FBI's older FBI Behavior, along with the older Special Agent Bill Tench (Holt McCalani); The two join Wendy Carr (Anna Torv), a psychology professor who can provide a more academic point of view. This series was set in the late 1970s, when criminal profiling was still underestimated in police, but without work, such as "Adolescence" - despite being set in another country - would never be possible.

In Season 1 of Mindhunter, Holden, Bill and Wendy tried to study Ed Kemper (serial killer in real life, played on the Cameron Briton screen), and the trio reveals that Kemper is really engaged-though very dangerous-IM gives an individual. Season 2 begins in the early 1980s, as Holden was traveling from the FBI headquarters to Frederixburg, Virginia to Atlanta, Georgialar to investigate a series of murders there, and throughout the world, we are constantly looking at the heinous views of the man who is working as an Adt Service. "Connecting, Torture, Killing"), shown by Sony Valicents. Unfortunately, Fincher confirmed in 2023 Forbes That the series ended and will not get a third installment, but the first two seasons are still kicking on Netflix.

Again, if you are looking for a series that gives you some important answers to you but then decides to ask Why It happened a really terrible thing, Showtime's original series "Yellowjackets" is a great choice. While the series is certainly an easier watch than "Adolescence", it also tells the audience immediately that while the girls football team named the yellow pockets were stuck in a remote Canadian forest after a plane crash on the road to an important match, they do not know that we are a

The Yellowlaters, as fans know, are divided into two timelines, focusing on teenage yellow pockets stuck in the woods and desperate to survive, and surviving girls as adults struggling to cope with their past and what they have done to each other. With outstanding players like sophie nélisse, Liv Hewson, Samantha Hanratty, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sophie that in the Teen Timeline and Melanie Lynskey, Lauren Ambrose, Christina Ricci, and Taw. Adult Timeline, "Yellowjackets" Will Grab Ahold of You and Never Let Go - and just like we know jamie is guilty at the begging of "adolescence", we know, above every shadow of doubt, that yellow pockets are at the beginning of the show. Not only do we get "why" on "yellow pockets", but we also get it "what" - because at this point in the show, the depth of their crimes is still unknown.

On the surface, the "toxic city" does not seem to share many properties with "adolescence", but here is the important part: it is also created and handled by Jackec Thorn, so if you want to ask for more of this creator's work after watching "adolescence", definitely turn this away. (That is Also Produced by Broke & Bones, the company owned by Black Mirror creator Charlie Brook and his producer Annabel Onesons, just to give him even more pedigree.) "Toxic City" tells the story of three mothers whose families are affected by Corbi toxic, a real event in the city, which is affected by the city. Regarding the case of "episodes.

"Toxic Town" has a phenomenal team involving Ododi Whitaker, Aime Lou Wood, Rory Kinear and Oeo Dempsey - just to name a few - and just like "adolescence", it's another series that is hard, but still rewarding when you really see them. Plus, that's another example of Thorn's ability to find the human aspect of the terrible tragedies, so if you are looking to check more than his EVERYou will not want to miss the "toxic city".
