Netflix has got everyone talking with its new hit Adolescence – a drama that you shouldn't let pass you by.

Since dropping on the streaming service last week, the four-part sensation has been praised around the globe. It centres on 13-year-old Jamie Miller (portrayed by Owen Cooper) and his turning upside-down after he's accused of killing a schoolmate.

The hit is super impressive, with every instalment famously shot in a single "continuous" take - a dazzling technique that's left audiences gobsmacked. Not only for its impeccable execution, but for delving into themes untackled before in television dramas.

She cautioned: "Adolescence on . If Jamie did it or not is not the point of the story. Episode three is terrifying on so many levels, especially for parents."

Her video struck a chord online, racking up over 70,000 views as people voiced their varying takes on the powerful drama.

Some are puzzled by its depth, as one person confessed: "I'll be honest, I didn't get it. I thought it was the worst series. Help me get it."

Others found it a little dull, with a different viewer commenting: "The last episode. So boring - went nowhere."

While some viewers struggled to grasp the show's message, others quickly picked up on its critical themes, finding it profoundly impactful.

One viewer pointed out: "Misogyny. Parents have no idea what their kids are looking at on the net. You only have to watch when it says about the emoji."

Another shared their insight, writing: "I loved how, even in the end, he thought it was only his dad he was talking to and he showed no regard for his mum or his sister when he mentioned his guilty plea. This was huge."

One more also said: "Even my 17-year-old said 'it's highlighting the effect the likes of Andrew Tate have on impressionable boys with their toxic masculinity'."

The series, which features Stephen Graham, delves into various issues surrounding masculinity and gender. Graham explained to Netflix: "One of our aims was to ask, 'What is happening to our young men these days, and what are the pressures they face from their peers, from the internet, and from social media?'

"And the pressures that come from all of those things are as difficult for kids here as they are the world over. We could have made a drama about gangs and knife crime, or about a kid whose mother is an alcoholic or whose father is a violent abuser.

"Instead, we wanted you to look at this family and think, 'My God. This could be happening to us!' And what's happening here is an ordinary family's worst nightmare."
