"Adolescence," a new Netflix series portrays a chilling narrative surrounding a 13-year-old boy, Jamie, accused of murdering his classmate, Katie. Detective Sergeant Misha Frank articulates a significant concern about victim representation when she expresses frustration over the focus on Jamie at the expense of Katie's memory. The show explores themes of teenage violence and misogyny, yet despite shining a light on Jamie's perspective, it raises questions about the implications of narrating such stories predominantly through the lens of perpetrators, arguably sidelining victims like Katie.
The show in which Frank is saying these lines is devoted entirely to Jamie: what he did, why he did it, and who’s to blame.
Everyone will remember Jamie; no one will remember her. That’s what annoys me. That’s what gets to me.
