Adolescence | Official Trailer | Netflix
Netflix
Unpleasant story about a 13 year old boy accused of stabbing a female classmate to death. Four episodes, one hour each. Story opens with a British swat team conducting an early morning raid on a nice suburban home. It looks patently ridiculous. We've got a nice, white family of four with two teenage kids and we've got half a dozen coppers with assault weapons busting down the door threatening to shoot everyone. Standard procedure, I suppose, you never know what you're going to find behind the door of someone's house and there's no telling what people will do when they've been found out.
It looks like a case of mistaken identity until the cops start pulling out the videos recorded by various security cameras. After that it's just the slow realization that maybe this kid really is guilty.
The school is a disaster, the kids are a bunch of snots. Maybe they are a little more wound up on account of the death, but I suspect they are all just little shits, i.e. typical teenagers. Schools should make good behavior a requirement for attending class rather than trying to enforce good behavior on people who are required to attend to class.
