It's a true testament to the remarkable quality of Netflix’s new crime drama, “Adolescence,” that even with my significant pre-release interest due to the talent involved (both in front and behind the camera), it still managed to not only exceed my high expectations but thoroughly eclipse them.
“Adolescence” might be the best original show Netflix has ever made. And I do not say that lightly. This emotionally devastating series about a family torn apart by a violent murder is of rare quality, and it’s an essential watch for every single Netflix subscriber. It's the best show I've watched so far in 2025, without a question. It's not even a competition. It's easily ranked first.
