The success of Adolescence should encourage Britain’s public service broadcasters to take more risks in the programmes they commission, one of the hit show’s executive producers has said.
The programme, which examines the influence of misogynist “incel” culture on a boy who stabs a classmate to death, has been a global phenomenon. It is the No 1 show across 74 countries and the ninth most-watched Netflix show of all time, with 96.7m views so far.
