Why this mother of a teenage boy forced herself to watch Adolescence
The Globe and Mail columnist Marsha Lederman shares why she thinks the Netflix series is still a must-watch
It's been almost a month since the hit Netflix show Adolescence was released, but the conversation around it feels just as urgent as ever.
The four-part limited series follows the arrest of a teenage boy in England after he allegedly murdered his female classmate. One quality that makes the show so gripping is that each episode is filmed in one continuous shot, giving the audience an unflinching view into how the case unfolds.
In the weeks since its debut, the show has earned a lot of support from viewers around the world, including public figures like U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Today on Commotion, The Globe and Mail columnist Marsha Lederman, who is also a mom to a teenage boy, joins host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to talk about why she feels that if you have kids, it should be required viewing.
You can listen to the full discussion from today's show on CBC Listen or on our podcast, Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud, available wherever you get your podcasts.
