One of Netflix’s most popular and superhit shows in recent years, Adolescence, is currently being streamed and highly praised, but it’s also being slammed and trolled by the netizens in India and some other parts of the globe.
Exploring the themes of modern masculinity, digital radicalisation, and adolescence, the British drama has gained just as much appreciation as criticism.
While many have applauded the deep dive it took into the current digital landscape for young men and women and how it shapes their thoughts of acceptance and being, others have picked up various themes to slam the show on.
The Renowned Indian filmmaker, Sudhir Mishr, took to his social media handles, including, formerly known as Twitter, to express his takes on the growing popularity of the show in India.
Sudhir Mishra wrote, “How come Adolescence earning praise and is the No 1 show on Netflix India.
All conventional wisdom is against it. Indians are not supposed to like slow burners. It violates every rule of taught by bad script writing schools. It spirals down instead of soaring up. It’s the best news in years”.
The show Adolescence centres on a 13-year-old schoolboy named Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) who is arrested for the murder of a girl in his school.
Each of its four episodes was shot in one continuous take.
When a 13-year-old is accused of the murder of a classmate, his family, therapist, and the detective in charge are all left asking: What happened?
