Adolescence on Netflix: Why is the episode 3 best and strong

Be careful, spoilers! This article returns in detail to the intrigue of the adolescent series. If you haven’t seen this yet and don’t want to know about the content, don’t continue to read.

We are well aware of such a scene: a rigorous interrogation room, a duel between the investigator and the suspect. But here, in adolescence, strong netflix mini -serials have signed Steven Graham and Jack Thorn, a 13 -year -old accused.

Jamie, who is brilliantly explained by young Owen Cooper, is trying to kill his companion Katie’s brutal murder. Along with him, Breion, a child psychologist, encamped by Erin Dohert, conducts a preliminary interview at the trial.

The episode demanded that 11 filmmakers, Philip Barantin, received what he needed …

Psychological duel …

For almost an hour, this confrontation – which can be described as a hypnotic – delivers the most intense sequence of series that is now dominated by the upper netflix. This is, of course, one of the best television episodes of the year. Those who have long been taken into consideration.

Briony questions, soothe and provoking James, trying to realize the secret of his action. Philip Barrantin puts this closed door, due to the sequence of hit that tightens the pass. The camera behaves tirelessly, preventing the viewer from blowing for a second.

… and the indicator

Erin Dohert himself admits to the interview Variety It was a time when his young partner, Owen Cooper, was so convincing in his game that he found “”Really dangerous“He explains how they reached this climax:

“I am very proud of Owen because I saw that she was going to be an actor, go to the end. At that time he was a child and did not want to be terrible, especially with those who had just met. So we had to create a safe space to find out that he was going to escape him. When I think about this child, rather than those who presented themselves to the eleventh socket that pressed these buttons and who pushed himself, I am proud.“

And also to point out the nuances that the young boy brought to his character: “As soon as I met Owen, I couldn’t help her, but I loved it. He has a lot of talent for this character because we really feel something for him.“

Crime for a funny cell phone

Through the dialogue between James and Bryon, the viewer is gradually reconstructing the drama. It all starts from an intimate photo sent by Katie to a friend. The picture, which has become viral in the school, puts it in vain. Jamie, who refused Katie and ridiculed on Instagram, gives birth to violence.

Graham and Thorne are investigating combustion topics here: cyber-narrowing, toxic culture of “Manosphere”, wearing white weapons in adolescents. However, if the subject is influenced, the plot will avoid a simple social procedural problem. The dynamics between James and Brion remain the epicenter of the story, which is between manipulation and a contradictory relationship.

To get out of hell

From the first episode, adolescence makes all the ambiguity: Jamie is well guilty. Late Revelation, nor changes in the style of the thriller in Harlan Koben. There is a huge evidence. However, the series is not limited to judicial investigation. It leads to shock waves caused by crime.

Everything around James is falling apart. His father Eddie (Stephen Graham) is changing between the blast of madness and madness. His mother Manda (Christine Tremarko) wandering is outdated. Meanwhile, investigators Bascombe (Ashley Walters) and Frank (Faye Marsay) try to solve the drama work. The reaction of students and teachers at school talks about the volumes: some know, some are minimized.

Chilled to dive in an unknown

If adolescence is very fascinated, it is because it is attacked by an incomprehensibility. It suffers from modern phenomena – the influence of figures such as Andrew Tate, the rise of incidents – but also knows how to recognize that some horror remains clumsy.

Episode 3 is a brilliant demonstration. During the last exchange between Breon and James, the discomfort is maintained: the psychologist did not fully end up with his young interlocutor. It goes from one state to another – sweet, provocative, repentant, cynical – with an easy -to -disturb simplicity. He fully knows what he did? The answer was avoided by Briony as well as the viewer.

This is awesome for the final anxiety of any parent: to find out that one understands only half of their child. Adolescence does not give all the answers, but he asks the right questions. This is exactly what makes him so strong.
