I just binged Adolescence on Netflix. Only 4 episodes so easy to binge. It was promising but disappointing to me in the end. It felt set up for a good swerve in the last episode but the ending is basically what you expect from the beginning of the show. And the entire series ended up just being a sociopolitical statement about toxic masculinity and incel culture. Topics that have been beaten to death for the past 5 years or more. Some good acting and very long scenes. There were two scenes that each last for 20-30 minutes so they do give actors time to shine. But they could have told a much more interesting story.
