Netflix’s latest crime drama is straight out of every parent’s worst nightmare.
The four-part British crime drama tells the ( fictional) story of Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old suburban boy who’s ripped from bed in the morning, accused of murdering a classmate. Created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham — who also plays Jamie’s dad, Eddie — the show is an emotional gut punch, aided by the fact that each episode is shot in real time in one take. Except, as we learn when Jamie sits for an interview, fresh off a medical exam and meeting with his lawyer and “appropriate adult” father, he seems to have very much committed the crime he’s accused of, following and then stabbing a classmate named Katie with a kitchen knife.
