The British miniseries "Adolescence" explores what exactly could have possessed such an innocent-looking boy to do something so horrific.

The series touches on a lot of timely issues: The manosphere, modern masculinity, online bullying and incel culture.

Series co-creator Jack Thorne talks about his journey into darker corners of the internet.

The series explored Jamie ’s descent into violent misogyny from multiple perspectives.

Each episode of the series was filmed as one continuous shot, which was a fascinating creative choice.

Jamie 's father, played by Graham Graham , plays his son in a police station.

Graham : We need to find a way of dealing with social media to address radicalization of young men.

There’s not many moments of positivity in this show, but the gentle love story between Bascombe and his son is one of the sweeter stories that we tell in the whole show.

Listen to kids. They're really vulnerable right now, and they need you. That's not just parents, listen to your children.
