Variety: “reveals the complexity of humanity”
The American specialized vehicle highlights the dark content of the series and the ability to highlight generational faults. The Critis Aramide Tinubu writes:
“Dark and brilliantly written, this series reveals the complexities of humanity and masculinity and how the rise of the handmob has permeated so frightening and rapidly in the life of young people through social media. Although the negligence of Mugnai with Jamie is certainly not evident, it is clear that real protection barriers are necessary for teenagers because they are left alone, things can quickly become a nightmare.”
Rolling Stone: “A complex story about the world in which children and parents live today”
The critic Allan Sepinwall stresses that it is not easy to look at the series, but describes the importance of doing it.
“Even with these great performances, even with the technical brilliance on display, this is not an easy series to look at. The end, in which Eddie, the mandates and Lisa must face what can be the rest of their life and the way they fear having failed Jamie, is sometimes almost unbearably sad. But sometimes in what. Adolescence He must say, and what he says eloquently and courageously, he is also among the best things – and one of the first competitors of the best thing – you will see on the small screen this year. “
The Hollywood Reporter: “Impressive and intriguing”
The publication highlights the use of the sequence plan and considers the use of the appeal additional to the narrative.
“The mystery of what Jamie has done or did not do is relevant, but secondary to broader issues on masculinity, both toxic and fragile, in a world of bullying, porn of revenge and harmful virtual models such as the aforementioned Andrew Tate. The murder is lost in the nightmare more by Victim, which clearly does not receive attention or helps deserve.
The New York Times: “It concerns a teenager, but your ideas are adults”
Margaret Lyons criticism states that the highlight of the series is its depressive realism and the fact that the continuous plan adds panic and urgency.
“The performances here are excellent, with crying and true sense of weight and probability. Is it a strange moment to be involved in recreational misery? When is there so much despair for everyone? Yes, probably, but but Adolescence It is not agony for agony. Use its pain and shock as a side door for interesting issues and social criticisms. It concerns a teenager, but your ideas are adults. “
The New Yorker: “Your perspective is always that of a stranger”
Inkoo Kang criticism from the magazine The New YorkerIt is more reticent on the positive effects of the series.
“Adolescence An attempt to face the crisis of children and masculinity dependent on today’s technology (…) unfortunately, the flashy and fragmentary approach compromises their attempts to illuminate, is an expression of the panic of the parents. Andrew Tate, Incels and the manosphere are mentioned and the plot could easily, although rude, is summarized by the viral quote commonly attributed to Margaret Atwood: ‘Men are afraid that women laugh at them. Women are afraid that men kill them. ‘But I ended up wanting that the program could have given a real interiority to its young male characters, in particular those in addition to Jamie. “
“Since the series chooses to focus more on social factors that make such a plausible murder than Jamie’s specific desires and concerns, his perspective is always that of a stranger. And although he makes a speech on Katie’s neglected humanity, his true sympathy is less with the victim than with adult spectators who try to make sense of everything.”
The Guardian: “The thing closest to television perfection for decades”
The criticism Lucy Mangan highlights in her text that the series is impressive and that the questions raised by her remain with the viewer.
“Adolescence He asks who and what we are teaching the boys and how we hope they will sail in this increasingly toxic and impossible world when our concept of masculinity still seems to depend on boys and men who do it alone. And he keeps the victim present enough so that the question about how many girls and women will die as we try to solve all this stay with us too. “
