What I liked about Adolescence is, it could have been easily a winding 8 episode series with emotional dialogues and drawn out scenes, but, it’s the film making and scripting genius which keeps it detailed, yes, but still concise and limited.
The actors all undoubtedly do a job par excellence and I give full marks to the casting. The writers even manage to build stories around the side characters through small interactions in the limited screen time. The sheer brilliance of adolescence is how it manages to convey a lot in a single instance and almost every instance. A lot is left unsaid with cues for the audience to gauge and read into. And in that, the series demands the complete attention of the viewers at the risk of missing details, because every line delivered is loaded and every reaction can be measured in meaning.
