The production designer behind Netflix’s new drama Adolescence says the show has received an “incredible” response from audiences worldwide. Adam Tomlinson, who worked on the four-part series, praises the show’s impact on highlighting the corrosive effects of social media and misogynist influencers on teenage boys.
Released last week, Adolescence has become the most-streamed title in both the UK and US within its first week of release. The show tells the story of a 13-year-old boy who is arrested for the murder of a classmate, exploring themes that shine a light on the darker side of social media culture.
The series’ unique filmmaking style, which features single, uninterrupted takes, has been widely praised. Tomlinson describes seeing the words come to life as “brilliant” and expresses his delight at the show’s massive success, saying it’s “exploded” in popularity since its release.
With over 15 days of filming per episode, the team worked tirelessly to capture the series in a single, uninterrupted take. The end result is a powerful and thought-provoking drama that has resonated with audiences worldwide.
