On Netflix.

Honestly one of the finest shows of the decade ... and i know this is a huge call.

Four part series, each shot in one continuous take ... which adds magnitudes to both the gravitas and the performances ... which are exemplary.

Warning though, this will rip your heart out. I found this really hard to watch.for reasons that will be made clear to you should you brave it. But if you want excellence and a real and very important talking point, Adolescence is one to watch.

Just to add, Stephan Graham is one again just draw dropping but the kid they got to play Jaime ... just wow. First thing he's ever done and he was breathtaking.

This is a piece of art, not just creatively but for the sheer weight of emotion and thought it provokes.

I just finished watching this show.

It really is quite amazing.

Four one hour episodes, all shot in one long take.

Brilliant.

The acting is some of the best I've ever seen.

Half of the final episode is the family driving to Bunnings, which sounds boring, but it's really quite riveting.

Even if the story wasn't good - but it is - this would be a masterclass in film making.

The camera work is brilliant.

If I had to have one small criticism of the show, it would be that the film making process and acting was so good that it started to distract me from the story every now and then.

10 out of 10, and two thumbs up.

Adolescence review – the closest thing to TV perfection in decades

Keir Starmer’s Britain: Where Fiction Is Mandatory

In a move that’s definitely not dystopian, Keir Starmer has announced Labour’s new education policy: "fiction is now mandatory, truth is conditional, and moral outrage is allocated based on the victim’s ethnicity, gender, and sexual proclivities. "
At the centre of this re-education experiment is Adolescence, a Netflix drama now being rolled out in schools. It claims to be “based on a true story”—in the same way EastEnders is based on real London life. In truth, a young girl was murdered. In the show, the black killer has been quietly race-swapped into a white, working-class boy radicalised by podcasts and a lack of youth club access.
Primary children will now be required to chant "transwomen are women" at assembly. Once a great place to start the day with "Shine Jesus Shine" or  other old skool Christian assembly bangers,  Christianity has now been declared a "gateway to the Far Right", and any child caught promoting outdated ideology like, "Peace, Tolerance and Forgiveness", will be immediately excluded under the new scheme.
Instead, children of junior age will take part in workshops where they apologise for their skin tone while crocheting Pro Hamas slogans into doilies. The PSHE syllabus will include a ceremonial apology for the British Empire with a performance of Toxic Masculinity: The Musical, funded by the Department for Equalities and Interpretive Dance.
To help ease NHS spending on contraception and abortion, Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips will now lead nationwide anal sex workshops, teaching schoolgirls how to avoid pregnancy while staying culturally open-minded. The pilot scheme—Back Door to Empowerment—has been described as “inclusive, lubricated, and uncomfortably funded.” And, in a special school assembly next week, Bonnie Blue will demonstrate how British girls can reframe their gangrape as "cultural hospitality"—a progressive act of openness, bravery, and surrender to imported values.
Meanwhile, Labour continues to obsess over misogyny in white working-class boys, while just days ago they celebrated Eid by praising the Ottoman Empire—a regime best known for child slaves, sexual harems, and flaying people alive for apostasy.
Diane Abbott added, “It’s vital we teach white working-class boys not to grope women, while simultaneously respecting cultures where it’s illegal to show a woman’s elbow.”
Recognising that made up stories on TV are more valuable than actual facts, other exciting reforms include a complete overhaul of professional training, replacing education with entertainment:
Barristers will no longer study law, but instead watch Rumpole of the Bailey in combination with Jim’ll Fix It, before sitting an oral exam titled When Banter Becomes Evidence.
Police officers will be trained watching The Bill, specialising in community cohesion, progressive tasering, and apologising for stop and search in three languages.
The prison service will be trained entirely from watching Prisoner: Cell Block H, with coursework on inclusive strip searches, hormone logistics, and gender-neutral riot suppression.
Medical students will now qualify by diagnosing fictional conditions from Casualty, followed by a Grey’s Anatomy quiz on who cried hardest during surgery.
New farmers will be trained via The Archers, focusing on rural conflict resolution, organic cow consent, and how to build a polytunnel during a panic attack.
MI5 recruits will be selected using escape rooms themed on Spooks, James Bond and The Night Manager.
Aspiring teachers must binge-watch Waterloo Road, learn how to spot unconscious bias in a lunchbox, and pass an exam on glue-sniffing prevention based entirely on the lyrics to “Just Say No”.
And above it all looms Adolescence—a state-mandated hallucination where children learn that truth is racist, fiction is sacred, and everything can be healed with guilt and a musical number.

Which bit is wacist?  Which part of speech are you policing here?




Despite making up only 13% of London’s total population, black Londoners account for 45% of London’s knife murder victims, 61% of knife murder perpetrators and 53% of knife crime perpetrators.
https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/assembly/commission-on-knife-crime-in-black-community




It is a lying, deliberate distortion like a black Anne Boleyn or Macbeth. It is a cover-up.  Imagine the same 4 part series depicting a murderous black teenager from a dysfunctional background. It would have been honest and real, not a deliberate lie.

The characters are all fictional.

Is Adolescence based on a true story?

While Jamie’s story, specifically, isn’t based on a real person or event, the idea for the series did spring from reports that co-creator Graham had heard about on the news, of young boys being involved in knife crimes.

“There was an incident where a young boy [allegedly] stabbed a girl,” Graham tells Tudum. “It shocked me. I was thinking, ‘What’s going on? What’s happening in society where a boy stabs a girl to death? What’s the inciting incident here?’ And then it happened again, and it happened again, and it happened again. I really just wanted to shine a light on it, and ask, ‘Why is this happening today? What’s going on? How have we come to this?’ ”

Thorne adds that, as the process went on, he, Graham, and Barantini grew fascinated by the question of male rage and started thinking about themselves as men, fathers, partners, and friends, and “questioning with some intensity” who they were as people, and particularly as men. “That is a journey I’ve never gone on as a writer before, and it scared me and excited me because it felt like we had something to say,” says Thorne.

Everyone knows that this had nothing to do with the manosphere, and that the backgrounds of the perpetrator and victim were very different from the characters in Adolescence.

The actual case was a black teenager murdering another black teenager at a bus stop.

Such knife crime is overwhelmingly black crime in London, according to the London Mayor's office.

The colour of anyone's skin in the show didn't cross my mind for a nanosecond.

Imagine how messed up of a person you'd have to be to be fixated on it even though you've never even seen it.

It's a very strange thing to be fixated on ... full stop.

I would bet the farm that the reason the kid is white (as though anyone even thought about it) was so Stephan Graham could play his father ... which i am immensely glad for. He was outstanding.

No more sinister reason need be imagined by fragile, butt-hurt old whingers.

So suddenly we can't have mixed race families or adopted kids?



There is no ad break anymore without a mixed race happy family.   Even Anne Boleyn and Macbeth have become black. But if there is endemic knife crime by black teenagers from broken black families,, that story must be told by white actors depicting a normal white unbroken family.  It is reverse wacism: if you honestly depict black dysfunction you will be immediately called a wacist - by knobs like you and Bbwiyawn.





But depictions of some young people, particularly young Black men, being “lost” reinforces harmful stereotypes and can have a negative effect on identity formation.

There are multitudes of shows and movies that show black people being violent.

The fact of the matter, fruitbat, is you're pathetically whining about something you haven't even seen because other pathetic, whiny, bloated old misanthropes told you to. You haven't even seen it but behold your commitment to the theme.

Yep.  It's hilarious.

And I'm pretty sure that Frannie and many of his ilk are big fans of Robert De Niro's biggest movies.

However, now that Trump has told them not to like Mr De Niro, they don't watch The Godfather or Taxi Driver any more (except when the wife goes out on bingo night).

It is about black teenage knife crime whitewashed, lyingly, as something white British boys from loving, whole families do.

A preposterous lie.


That IS why you and creep boost it. You DO see the lie, you do see the sleight of hand. EVERYBODY does. But you lie about it.

Oh white boys have always done it. What's concerning those watching is that it's on the rise.

Do you know what 80:20 means? No? You're irredeemably out of touch.

And who killed James Bulger?

Imagine if poor Bulger's killers were, lyingly, depicted as blacks. You would protest, dishonest, hypocritical old ****, wouldn't you. Of course you would.


Knife crime is black crime. Be honest,
But you won't be. Honesty is 'wacism'.

There i no such thing as "black crime" or "white crime" There is only crime. And all sorts of crimes are committed by all sorts of people for all orts of reasons.

This is why, instead of relying on bloated, misanthropic, bigoted, out-of all-touch opinion pieces about things, we inform our opinions by actually learning about the thing.

And you will end up, well coming across as being all a bit you-like.

Poor old thing.

Bollocks.  You are lying, bint.

There would be no 'abo gap' in crime and incarceration if there was no difference.

You are simply lying. Knowingly. On purpose.

Despicable, dishonest.

Adolescence is a (very good) fictional TV show.

The actors are all playing fictional characters.

Do you remember the great Adolescence debate?

There are epidemics of knife crime in the UK, but none of them involve 13-year-old white boys from stable homes murdering female contemporaries because their brains have been warped by online influencers.

A major source of knife crime in London is black teenagers stabbing other black teenagers because they dared to step into the territory of – or otherwise diss – a rival gang. Last year there was a knife-related murder most days of the year in England and Wales, and more than 3,500 hospital admissions for knife attacks involving weapons ranging from kitchen knives to machetes. In the past year the Metropolitan Police has recorded 15,182 knife crimes in London, an increase on the previous year. These included the murder of 14-year-old Kelyan Bokassa, who was stabbed to death on a bus in Woolwich in January.

Surely this would be the sort of thing a dramatist might be interested in? But I suppose that the structure of companies such as Netflix, and certainly the structure of our political debate, does not incline to dwelling on uncomfortable subjects when comparatively comfortable fictional ones are there for the taking.

As though to prove this thesis just consider the character of Lucy Powell. Sadly, the member for Manchester Central is not a fictional creation. She is a 50-year-old Labour MP whose castigating and morally superior tone has delighted the nation ever since she was sent to parliament by the electorate in 2012. She is currently leader of the House of Commons.

Last week Ms Powell was on Any Questions? on BBC Radio 4. During the discussion the conservative writer Tim Montgomerie mentioned a recent Channel 4 programme called Groomed: A National Scandal. This was a fine and long overdue work of documentary – not drama – in which Channel 4 interviewed five British women who as young girls had been groomed (as in systematically and repeatedly raped) by men of mainly Pakistani Muslim origin.

With this having bubbled away as a scandal in British public life for a quarter of a century now, you might have thought that the stories of the thousands of young women who have been abused by what must be many thousands of men would be a real national scandal. And one which by now would be such familiar, well-trodden terrain that there is hardly anything new to say. Yet it is a demonstration of the disgrace upon a disgrace of the way this country has behaved in this century that the Channel 4 documentary was in fact not just heartbreaking but genuinely revelatory.

Unfortunately, the moment that Montgomerie raised the question of Groomed, the morally superior lungs of Lucy Powell burst forth. Speaking in a tone so high-handed and self-righteous it would make Emily Thornberry coo, Powell said: ‘Oh, we want to blow that little trumpet now, do we? Let’s get that dog whistle out, shall we, yeah?’

It was an astonishing outburst. And although everyone – even Labour MPs – should be allowed the occasional infelicitous turn of phrase, or brain fart, Powell’s explosion was none of these things. Her rage was directed at the notion of even mentioning the biggest child abuse scandal in British history. A woman who doubtless thinks she is a decent and moral human being clearly believed that bringing up the industrial-scale gang rape of British children is the actual disgrace, rather than the scandal itself.

“Overall, the trend has been for male organizations to become co-ed, even as female ones remain single-sex, or at least keep their specific mission to serve girls and women. In many companies and organizations, there will be women’s networks or groups but not equivalents for men,” Reeves explains. Adolescence risks intensifying fears of toxic masculinity, while bringing us no closer to actually helping young boys.

In the final episode, the boy’s parents come to terms with their son’s guilt and ask what they could have done better. His father spends the closing moments of the show in his son’s room. His gaze sweeps the room, taking in the computer, the books, and the bed. Perhaps he’s looking for warning signs that he should have noticed. He collapses on his son’s bed, crying into the boy’s pillow. “I’m sorry, son,” he says, kissing the head of a teddy bear he’s tucked into bed. “I should’ve done better.”

But the mournful tone is misplaced. The man was a good father. And in any case, there is overwhelming evidence to suggest that—absent serious abuse—it is genetics, not parenting that plays the major role in how a child turns out. The likelihood, in either case, that a boy from a stable middle-class home with loving parents will become a killer is vanishingly small. Adolescence is a gripping story, beautifully told. But if we really want to help boys, we need to begin with a more realistic sense of what their challenges actually are.

What a load of antiquated horseshit.

The internet is teaching our kids more than most parents are. A point made by by the excellent series Adolescence.

It's all happening online. And there is some twisted hit out there.

Shows like this inform us of that. We are grateful for them doing so. Owing to the magnificent acting and production, these shows can become hits to reach wide audiences and alrert them of dangers inside their walls.

This is not other people's problems.

All this said, i remain tremendously amused at just how butt-hurt Agatha is.
