Inside Netflix's 'Adolescence'

Update: 2025-09-12

Description

The Netflix miniseries follows a 13-year-old accused of murdering a girl from his school. Co-creator and star Stephen Graham says he read about similar crimes and wanted to know: "Why is this happening?" Graham spoke with Sam Briger about the crime that inspired the show, fatherhood, and the unusual way the show was shot — in one single take. Adolescence has 13 Emmy nominations.

Film critic Justin Chang reviews Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale.
