Explanation of Teenagence and review
The choice of the sequence plan, present from the first images of the 4 episodes of Teenagence, It is a suggestive as effective moment of truth between the viewer and the dramatic facts told. A firsthand living the emotional and painful turbine of any family whose life in a moment has been completely revolutionized. Far from the itchy spectacularization of pain, It offers itself as a precise and surgical Overview of the world of today’s teenagers.
A subject with strong social implications that does not limit himself to giving easy answers but explore all the complexity and ambiguity of the human being. Thirteen year old Jamie, the one who wets his pants when he is faced with an armed policeman, is the same fragile character capable of keeping up with a tilting and killing his peer?
Is Eddie the responsible adult, a great worker who lives for the family or a father unable to understand the needs of his child? The anger under the trace that you breathe at school, between exhausted teachers and increasingly turbulent pupils, they underline the universal generational distance between teenagers and adults. They speak in an incomprehensible, metaphorical and non -metaphorical language, without ever meeting.
In the background there is the virtual world of social networksof the appearance, of the labels and categorizations that enhance some and make others suffer. Not only bullying or early sexualization of minors but a parallel universe in which it is difficult to distinguish what is real from what it is not.

The cast: is it inspired by a true story?
The creator of the Stephen Graham seriesas well as producer and actor, He said he was not inspired to a single, specific episode. He studied many news events with teenage protagonists, of the past and the present, suspected of killing peers. More than on whom, the idea behind Teenagence is to understand why of such a dramatic choice. Analyze the consequences that fall not only on the possible assassin but on the entire family existence.
To make the series so painful and at the same time illuminating is a dry scriptwithout rhetoric and above all A cast of rare skill. If Stephen Graham (This is England) he is a brave father, sore and the perennial search for a personal fault, The very young Owen Cooper, In the role of Jamie, it is to say the least stunning. He manages to always be credible as innocent and as guilty, as a emancipated and brilliant teenager and as a defenseless thirteen year old, at the mercy of something bigger than him.
