Stephen Graham, the co-creator of Netflix's 'Adolescence,' aims to inspire parents to engage more with their kids. The show focuses on the intense emotional aftermath of 13-year-old Jamie Miller's arrest for murder, exploring not only the crime but its profound impact on his family, particularly his father, Eddie. The series, which boasts a 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes, masterfully unveils the themes of accountability and understanding through Eddie's heartbreaking realization of his son's situation, culminating in a poignant final scene that prompts parents to reflect on their relationships with their children.
Eddie looks around, crying. Earlier that day, Jamie had called from jail to tell them that he was changing his plea to guilty.
Graham explained that this ending scene in the bedroom functioned as a message for parents. 'It's a big impact that it has on his father...'
It's the story of a young boy who gets accused of the murder of a young girl. And, there's no spoilers, we find out by the end of the (first) episode that he did it...
