What starts with a SWAT raid ends with something even more shocking: your own reflection.
In this month’s ELEV8 Magazine edition, David E. Jones unpacks the emotional gut punch that is Adolescence—a four-part UK Netflix series shot in stunning, single-take episodes. With no trailer. No intro. No slow build. Just impact. As viewers, we’re placed directly inside the story’s tension—exactly where many parents find themselves in real life.
Just four episodes—All with unforgettable impact
What unfolds over four raw episodes is less about crime and more about consequence. Less about the justice system and more about emotional systems—particularly the fragile ones between fathers and sons. Powered by jaw-dropping performances—including a breakout debut from Owen Cooper and a career-best turn from Stephen Graham.
Adolescence isn’t just TV—It’s an experience
In his Stream of Thoughts column, David unpacks more than just the series. He explores what it means to be emotionally present, spiritually alert, and culturally aware when raising children in a complex world.
