It Starts On The Page (Limited): Read ‘Adolescence’ Episode 3 Script With Foreword By Stephen Graham & Jack Thorne


Adolescence creators Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham talk about writing Episode 3. Part of a franchise featuring scripts of top Emmy contenders.

The British series from creators Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne employs the same one-shot style over the course of the four, edge-of-your-seat episodes — a technique that’s become somewhat of a calling card for Adolescence director Philip Barantini, working with cinematographer Matthew Lewis. It’s Owen Cooper’s portrayal of the troubled teen Jamie drawn into the online manosphere as he and Graham — who plays his heartsick dad — take viewers on a journey of denial, grief and hopelessness. On the other hand, there was Owen, who through the careful and brilliant direction of Phil and the remarkable generosity of the incredible Erin found a way to not just play Jamie but to inhabit him with tremendous soul.
