Alia Bhatt recently shared her admiration for the Netflix series Adolescence on Instagram, calling it “truly perfection.”

Netflix’s latest crime drama, Adolescence is getting a lot of attention for its storyline and outstanding performances. Directed by Philip Barantini, the British series has struck a chord with viewers, including Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt, who recently admired the show by posting about it on her Instagram story.

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt, who has worked on films like Raazi and Gangubai Kathiawadi, expressed her excitement after watching Adolescence. She called it “truly perfection,” praising everything from the writing to the cinematography.

The Story Behind Adolescence‘s Heartbreaking Narrative

Adolescence centers around Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old schoolboy who is arrested for the brutal stabbing of his classmate, Katie. The crime initially seems like a tragic case of knife violence, a growing issue in the UK. However, as the series unfolds, viewers are introduced to the deeper psychological and social factors that contributed to Jamie’s actions.

Stephen Graham, the actor and producer of Adolescence, revealed that the show was inspired by the increasing number of knife crimes involving young people. During the series premiere, Graham expressed his personal concern about these incidents, particularly cases where young boys were involved in the deaths of young girls. “It really hit my heart. I just thought: ‘What’s happening? How have we come to this? What’s going on with our society?’” Graham shared, reflecting on the emotional impact of the crime wave.

As the show progresses, it becomes clear that Jamie’s crime is not just about a senseless act of violence but a symptom of larger social and psychological issues. The series examines how social media, online bullying, and unrealistic digital expectations contributed to Jamie’s fragile self-esteem and eventual isolation. Despite having a supportive family, Jamie’s online interactions consume him, ultimately leading to a tragic outburst.
