It's easy to forget all of this is done without a single cut in any of the episodes (some of which are an hour long), and the reason for that is the competence of the technical team, the absolutely mesmerising performances by the cast, and the screenplay itself, which focuses on four integral hour or so long sections across that year long journey we take with the family when Jamie is accused (and awaiting trail) of murder.
This is theatre thrown onto the screen, another thing you are probably told as a rule to avoid when writing something directly for the screen, and it works beautifully.
I'm a parent, not of adolescent children, but of children that are in the primary school system, in the same world depicted in Adolescense, and I absolutely loved how well they captured the difficult relationships between parents and their children, of being an adolescent, of trying to fit into a world in which information can reach us in many different ways. 1 reply
