Adolescence

Crime--Netflix 4 episodes  IMDB 8.4   This is worth looking at-- all out    Created by Stephen Graham --- Lead actor Stephen Graham

 

 

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 really happened.

 

 

 

 

It's a hard watch, but totally get why it's #1 on Netflix right now

Just watched first one so far, amazing how they shot the whole thing in one take, or was there some AI trickery in it?

Overrated in my opinion, i was left wondering what the whole fuss was about. A lot of the scenes seemed dragged out unnecessarily. Whole thing could have been edited down to two episodes max.

Yes, it is superb.  One of the best things ever shown, certainly on Netflix.  Seriously thought-provoking, especially for parents of adolescents.

Sorry, I thought it was poop. Armed swat team home invasion to arrest 13yo kid is nonsense. And why didn't they arrest the black girl for gbh after her unprovoked attack?

Didn't she do in the school exactly what he did in the car park?

I agree with the above 2 comments. 

 

A SWAT team to arrest a 13 year old, when they had video evidence of it being a knife crime.

 

The protracted 1st episode, showing exactly what happens.

 

Unnecessarily long.

 

Stephen Graham was, of course, excellent, as was Ashley Walters.

You understand she was stabbed to death---- not a playground fight'

 

Yes I thought the last episode was very flat

I've just finished watching season 1 of Say Nothing and enjoyed it. It was recommended by @Andrew Dwyer a while ago. It's on 1337x & TheRARBG.

I thought the last episode was one of the most astonishing pieces of TV I've ever seen.  Technically amazing and very emotional.  I was in bits at the end.  Historic television.  👏

Anora was amazing. This was an astonishing film, with performances that were written by adults for adults, which is so refreshing in today's world of American film. They actually showed nudity, they actually showed people having sex, they showed that not everybody in America is prudish, which was so wonderful and it's something that Hollywood just can't wrap its tiny little mind around. You knew this had to be a an independent production, you knew that this wasn't financed by a big studio, because the content was simply too mature, and too adult like. 

 

The interaction between Mikey Madison and Paul Weissman was precious. He played this gentle, kind-hearted thug, stuck working for a junk family, who did a great job of displaying the moral bankruptcy of the average billionaire, much less Russian oligarch. 

Mikey Madison was pitch perfect and absolutely deserved the Academy Award. It was a brilliant performance, the entire film had this pitch and intensity that just never let up and it was both tragic and beyond belief for many many sustained moments. Sean Baker likewise deserved his Oscar as the direction was flawless. This was an utterly enjoyable film to watch. 

 

Baker’s subtly brilliant film knows how difficult it is to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, especially when those bootstraps are constantly being cut off by the people at the top.

Three shows I did not enjoy were the Madness, 1923 and Zero Days. They were silly. In the Madness the main character wears the dazed and confused look the entire series. And rarely ever dresses in disguise. 

 

In Zero days something is happening to the Deniro character, but what? Too many questions, and not enough answers.

 

Anotjer dud is 1923. Sheridan pours on the tragedy to such an extent the desire to watch just dissapates. Like a melodrama. The tragedy is not in the story, but in the wasted opportunity.

Discussing what she cooked him for breakfast, interminable minutes of riding around in a van, buying paint and then a brief altercation with a local hoon. I wish I was that easily entertained.😴

Just have seen The Rumble in the Jungle on YouTube (1:05).

Boxing Fight in Zaire between Foreman and Ali. Great!

George Foreman RIP.

yeah .. surprised it’s a Ridley Scott production. I will continue until episode 8 in the hope it will improve. 

‘Gemstones was definitely worth a watch, my wife couldn’t believe it was “the guy from Lotus” with his prosthetic penis.
