"the energy is very very palpable and so moving."
Netflix’s Adolescence has taken the world by storm, earning widespread praise from critics and audiences alike.
The show’s remarkable reception has also caught the attention of Alia Bhatt, who joined the chorus of admiration.
Alia Bhatt took to Instagram to share her thoughts after watching the limited series. She expressed her awe at the cast and crew’s efforts, calling the project a flawless execution.
Sharing the show’s poster, Alia wrote: “This show is truly perfection… From the writing to the staging to the EXCEPTIONAL cinematography.
“I wonder what it felt like when after an hour of calling action – to finally calling cut… how did the entire cast and crew feel????
“The performances by each and every person that has walked into frame and out was ALIVE… real raw and so so hot in the moment that the energy is very very palpable and so moving.
“The magic of storytelling and an entire crew coming together to deliver, every department giving nothing but their heart and soul to every second on screen. I’m in awe.”
Alia was not the only Indian star who praised Adolescence.
Fashion designer and actress Masaba Gupta was also a huge fan of the show and posted:
“Imagine a world of content where you have seamless one-shot episodes. Not one actor misses a beat. Not one. Not even the guy doing nothing in the back.
“Imagine massive critical acclaim, entertainment, and not being able to take your eyes off the screen.
“Imagine amazement, shock, goosebumps not because of cringe content but absolute SOLID work from every single department.”
Adolescence is a four-part limited series starring Stephen Graham and newcomer Owen Cooper.
Released on March 13, the series quickly climbed to the No. 1 spot on Netflix worldwide.
Co-created and written by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, the series follows a family shattered after 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is arrested for the murder of a schoolmate.
The show delves into themes of misogyny and the impact of social media on today’s youth.
Each scene is shot in one continuous take, a technique earning widespread acclaim.
Beyond its success, Adolescence has sparked discussion about the feasibility of producing similar content in India.
Anurag Kashyap questioned the creative freedom available in the country, stating: “How do we ever create something so powerful and honest with a bunch of most dishonest and morally corrupt @netflix.in backed so strongly by the boss in LA.”
Sudhir Mishra echoed the sentiment, saying: “Nobody will let us do something like that.
“One should do it as an independent film. Something of our own which wanders, then stops, digs and goes where the smell takes us.”
