Talk

We’re looking forward to hearing what you think. It’s certainly intense, @oddboxand I can’t remember the last time I saw such an incredible performance from a young actor.

What did you think of the police raid in ep1? The tension was almost unbearable, and I felt so disorientated watching it. The one take heightened this, imo. When Jamie was taken away in the police van, it really did feel like we were in there with him. I'm still astonished by it!

Wow - what a hard hitting drama, we're completely gripped! Great to read all your thoughts and reactions so far - keep them coming!

In episode 1, Jamie keeps repeating he's done nothing wrong, what do you think he means by that? I couldn't work it out. Also one of the things that struck me is how 'normal' Jamie's family appear. What do you think is the significance of this?

Don't forget to also share any questions you have for Hannah (Adolescence producer) and Christine (who plays Jamie's Mum). Their insight and experience of the making of the show will be really interesting.

Yes, this struck me too. Of course, many 13-year-olds are out that late, but it's usually because there are problems at home and Jamie's family seem relatively stable. Maybe they are naive?

I found the psychologist interview scenes really chilling. A total flip from the 'innocent' child in episode one. I guess two things can be true - he's a child and childlike but has a very disturbing, unsettling side to him.

We’re speaking very soon with Executive Producer Hannah Walters and actress Christine Tremarco for a Mumsnet Q&A - an amazing opportunity to get insight into the series directly from the people who created and starred in it.

If you have questions about the story, characters, or the themes explored, now is the time to ask. Whether it’s about a pivotal moment, creative choices, or what went on behind the scenes, drop your questions in this thread before it’s too late.

Hi @verysmellyjelly, I hope to bring you the Q&A answers very soon - we're also really keen to see Hannah and Christine's answers!

In the meantime, off the back of the wider conversations that Adolescence has been sparking, we've started a poll about how much parents understand about the dangers of online radicalisation. Feel free to head there and share your thoughts.

Happy to share that Christine and Hannah will be answering some of your questions this afternoon! Stay tuned...
