Adolescence

#411

I was blown away by Adolescence. It is a tough watch but is packed full with layers of social commentary and warnings about misogyny, patriarchal society, social media, and lots of other things. Each episode is filmed in one shot, which in itself is superb as well. It will stay with you long after you finish watching it, which is a good thing.

A great listen.
