6 Reasons Why 'Adolescence' Is an Absolute Must-Watch

From time to time, a series will be released under many people's radars and shoot to the top of everyone's watchlist. In 2024, the Brits won this award with Richard Gadd's breakout hit Baby Reindeer. In 2025, it was the Brits who would do it again, this time with Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham's gutwrenching masterpiece, Adolescence.
