What was once a limited series might not stay that way for long. Netflix’s hit drama “Adolescence”—which has soared to become the fourth most-watched English-language series on the platform with 114 million views—is reportedly being considered for a second season.
Netflix’s limited series “Adolescence” has broken into the platform’s all-time most popular English-language TV list, landing at No 9 with 96.7 million views in just 17 days. The drama surpasses “Stranger Things 3” (94.8M) and pushes “Bridgerton” Season 2 (93.8M) off the chart entirely.
"Adolescence", the Netflix miniseries created by Jack Thorne and directed by Philip Barantini, is an emotionally charged and deeply unsettling drama that tackles complex themes surrounding masculinity, identity, and societal failure. It presents a raw and unflinching look at the pressures faced by contemporary youth, particularly boys, and examines how these pressures can lead to radicalisation and violence. With a narrative rooted in realism, the show takes a refreshing, albeit harrowing, approach to storytelling, steering away from the expected tropes of crime dramas and police procedurals. It is a series that captivates not through high-stakes thrills but through its careful, painful exploration of human emotion and the systems that shape us.
Netflix’s crime drama “Adolescence” is making headlines for its hour-long, one-shot episodes. However, two decades earlier, the Indian TV show “CID” set a Guinness World Record with a 111-minute single-take episode titled “Inheritance”, aired on Sony TV on November 7, 2004.
Netflix’s latest crime drama “Adolescence” has skyrocketed to the top of the platform’s charts, reaching an impressive 24.3 million views within just four days of its release on March 13. The gripping limited series has quickly become the most-watched show of the week, as reported by Netflix Tudum.
