Ashley Walters stars in Netflix series Adolescence, hailed as 'one of the best TV shows ever'

According to Yahoo! News, "there are TV shows that defy expectation, that are so heart-breaking and immersive that they feel like something completely new — Adolescence is one of those series". This 4-part Netflix series dives deep into the wild ride that is growing up, with all its messiness, confusion, and unexpected moments of clarity.

Yakker Ashley Walters stars as Detective Inspector Luke Bascombe in this drama about a 13-year-old schoolboy accused of stabbing a classmate. From first loves to the struggle for self-identity, Adolescence captures the raw, unfiltered truth of what it means to be a teenager in today's world. It also explores how the rise of incel culture and toxic masculinity has affected young boys.

While a murder mystery is familiar ground for TV, director Philip Barantini’s decision to shoot each episode in one-take breaks new ground. The performances are incredible and the storyline fast-paced and gripping.
