The series "Adolescence" has been ranked the number one television show of 2025 by The Guardian.
Critics praised its exceptional cast, astonishing directing, and a plot so relevant it was discussed in parliament. The show explores a terrible crime and its impact on a community.
The story begins with the arrest of 13-year-old Jamie Miller for a classmate's murder. Later episodes reveal his radicalization online, feature intense therapy sessions, and show his parents grappling with guilt.
The publication stated that in every metric—story, theme, casting, and impact—"Adolescence" stood above all other series this year.
