Movie Pick ”Netflix’s Adolescence: A Haunting Dive Into the Fragility of Youth” #AmRush


Just finished watching Adolescence, and wow—this one stays with you. Netflix really delivered a gripping, gut-wrenching drama that feels both intimate and unsettling. The single-shot episodes? Genius. They pull you into the chaos, making every moment feel painfully real.

Owen Cooper, playing Jamie, absolutely kills it (no pun intended). His portrayal of a lost, troubled kid sucked into the dark corners of the internet is terrifyingly raw. Stephen Graham, as his father, gives another powerhouse performance—man just doesn’t miss.

Beyond the crime story, Adolescence forces us to confront some hard truths about modern parenting, social media influence, and how easily young minds can be manipulated. It’s tense, emotional, and disturbingly relevant.

Easily one of Netflix’s best limited series in a while. If you’re into gripping psychological dramas, this is a must-watch.

Rating: 9/10
