This post contains spoilers for Netflix's "adolescence".

There is a good reason why the miniatures of four parts of Jackec Thorn and Steven Graham, "adolescence", has been making waves since his weekend debut. For beginners, the director of the series Philip Baranini took a remarkable approach with one green In every episode, creating an stunning, visually interesting story that takes care of urgency. In addition, the story in question is dark. IEEIMI Miller (Owen Cooper) was suddenly arrested for killing at the start of the series, accused of brutal stabbing a 13-year-old child left to die in the parking lot. IEEI, who is 13 years old, is in his bedroom with themes when police burst into his house armed on his teeth. This unusual premise is reinforced by the one -time takeover of bar, which leaves no breathing room. As the charges are gathered, Jameimi's striking father, Eddie (Graham), is trying to comfort his frightened child while police scan for his prints and interrogates him.

The technical brilliance of the show aside, "adolescence" explores the vignettes of gender -based violence among the younger demographic, amplified by the rise of misogyous rhetoric that is often dominated by social media. The state of Jameimi is not limited to families affected by the crime, as it affects the community as a whole, exposing the shining of violence under well -adjusted facades. Although Jameimi's inherent innocence as a child is exposed when he is arrested, the intrigue of the show depends on whether he is capable of committing such a heinous crime. Over time, Jameimi reveals his basic beliefs and his behavior becomes more right and aggressively. This picture image too difficult for his parents, who thought they knew their child and the kind of person who would grow up.

Although "adolescence" is clearly inspired by real -world crime statistics and harmful radicalization of children through social media, Is it based on a true story? The answer is both yes and no.

JAMEMI's story is no based on a specific case or person in real life. However, the premise is very much derived from the crimes in the real world, which Graham discussed in detail in conversation with Tudum:

"There was an incident when a young boy (allegedly) stabbed a girl. He shocked me. I was thinking, 'What's going on? What's going on in a society where the boy stabs a girl to death? What is the incident that stimulates here?' And, it happened again, and it happened again, and I really wanted to shine and ask, "Why is this happening today?

Baranini (best known for its "boiling point")) He also reiterated this feeling, citing the escalation of gender crimes with knives in the UK, where perpetrators are almost always young boys like Jameimi who target their female peers of misogynistic rage. This aspect is investigated during Jameimi's hearing, where he blindly regulates the problematic worldview he has gathered without truly understanding them. A combination of Jameimi's rooted misogyny and without tactile immaturity makes these scenes feel heavier, as no one in the room is able to assess how madness and violent children like Jameimi can be.

Although the show does not blame anyone especially the state of Jameimi in "Adolescence", the series raises questions about the alarming representation of the talk points in the internet and how easy the young boys are to be susceptible to them. Would Jameimi's parents be more perceptive for their child, or should the community be responsible for the accidental implementation of patriarchal traditions? While "adolescence" does not offer easy answers, it stands for these unpleasant but necessary questions, more interested in the psychological consequences after such a terrible crime.
