We need to talk about Adolescence. No, not the actual stage of life (though, let’s be honest, we could all write a book on that), but the Netflix series that has everyone talking. The Adolescence cast brings together some big names and makes for powerful viewing.
The show tackles serious and very real issues, namely male violence against women and girls—but at the hands of young boys. While it’s not based on a true story exactly, the crime drama aims to highlight real cases where boys have attacked and even murdered girls, and tries to address what is happening in society to make this happen.
It’s chilling, shocking, eye-opening TV that is definitely a must-see. Let’s take a look at the full Adolescence cast, plus where you’ve seen them before – because you’ll definitely recognize a few faces.
