There’s a decent chance that the four-episode Netflix miniseries Adolescence is the single most acclaimed piece of popular art to come out in 2025. (Its competition would be what? Anything other than Sinners?) Adolescence opens with a scene of police arresting a boy for murder. In four long, continuous takes, it shows the effects of the violence on the boy, his family, and the institutions around him. Earlier today, we learned that Adolescence co-writer and co-creator Jack Thorne will be one of the screenwriters behind the Sam Mendes’ four upcoming Beatles biopics. Now, the director of all four Adolescence episodes has once again teamed up with the show’s young star, this time to make a video for the British rocker Sam Fender.
