The series also stars Stephen Graham as Jamie’s father, Christine Tremarco as his mother, and Amelie Pease as his sister, with each performance adding depth and realism to the powerful narrative.
According to reports, Adolescence has crossed more than 141 million views in its first three months of release, making it Netflix’s second most-watched series after Wednesday. The show’s gripping storytelling and strong performances have been widely credited for its global popularity and critical success.
