Adolescence, which delves into the emotional aftermath of a teenage stabbing, has captivated audiences, not just with its compelling storylines but also with its unique filming technique. Shot in a single take, the series follows a distinctive method that enhances the immediacy of the scenes and pulls viewers into the action.

Fans of the show have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to express their admiration for the series, with many praising its unique one-take filming technique and stellar performances. One fan wrote: “Amazing acting man… hats off to the whole cast,” accompanied by clapping emojis, while another commented: “Watched episode 1 yesterday, wow..” A third user was equally impressed, saying: “being shot in one take is actually crazy, Netflix cooked with this one. And the acting from everyone, so so good. 10/10 man.”

A fourth fan wrote: “Not gonna lie, #adolescencenetflix is phenomenal... The fact it was filmed in one take is absolutely astounding.. Gripped from start to finish.” A fifth added: “The camera crew responsible for the one-take filming of episodes of the Netflix show ADOLESCENCE... you guys are incredible!” A sixth user shared: “Just came on here to say that #adolescence was absolutely brilliant!! the whole cast & the episode being filmed in a single continuous shot?? amazing.” Lastly, a seventh fan expressed: “Adolescence is hard hitting! The kind of show that lingers on for long even after it ends. Can’t fathom how they have shot every episode in one take. Mindblowing performances for sure!”

Director Philip Barantini, known for using this technique in previous works, employs it again to elevate the immersion of both the cast and audience. During filming, the camera is passed between operators like a relay race, clipped on and off drones, and smoothly handed among the crew as they follow the actors through buildings and vehicles. This fluid motion is a key element that gives the show a raw, live performance feel.

Stephen Graham, a seasoned actor who collaborated with Barantini on Boiling Point , explains that this method brings a sense of spontaneity to the acting process. “You have that kind of energy and immediacy that you get from doing a play or a live performance," Graham shares. This approach allows the cast to engage deeply with the characters while retaining the naturalistic style typical of TV acting.

The show’s central character, Jamie Miller, played by newcomer Owen Cooper, is accused of committing the knife crime. The narrative unfolds from the perspective of Jamie’s family, friends, and the professionals involved, offering a fresh viewpoint on teen violence. Graham, who co-created and co-wrote the series with Jack Thorne, suggested shifting the narrative focus from the victim’s family to those surrounding the accused, asking audiences to consider the root causes of violence in teens. At only 15, Cooper had to master his lines and character for the one-take filming. Initially uncertain about the technique, he impressed the entire team with his preparation and natural instincts, earning high praise from Graham, who likened him to “the next Robert DeNiro.” However, as Barantini points out, meticulous planning is essential when working with such a style.

The production team works closely with the script to ensure that the episodes flow seamlessly in one take, trimming unnecessary elements. Locations were also carefully chosen and designed to ensure smooth transitions. For example, a police station was specially constructed, and even the number of stairs was calculated to match the timing of a character’s dialogue. "The technical mastery on this show is incredible," says Thorne, though he admits he was disappointed when one scene with a football had to be cut due to the walking time required.

Set in the north of England, the locations are all within close proximity to each other, including a family home just a three-minute drive from the police station and a warehouse converted into a DIY superstore. Barantini elaborates on the process: “We would digitally map everything out, including camera moves. Then, it’s just about being present with the actors and following the choreography.”

The rehearsals for such a complex production are extensive, with every movement planned out to ensure the crew and actors are in sync. Ashley Walters, who plays a detective investigating Jamie, explains how the choreography helps him remember his lines and timing. Erin Doherty, who portrays Jamie’s psychologist, describes the experience as “glorious.” She compares the collaboration with the camera team to a symbiotic relationship, where the movement around her felt entirely natural. She also praises Cooper’s performance, calling him one of the best actors she’s worked with, "You just watch him, thinking, how are you doing this?"

Mistakes were rare during filming, thanks to the practice sessions. In one instance, Christine Tremarco, playing Jamie’s mother, mistakenly walked into the wrong room during rehearsal but quickly corrected herself. Graham recalls the experience, saying, “None of us actually screwed up.” Drawing a parallel to soccer, Graham explains that everyone on set knows their role, and this understanding leads to an atmosphere of “good work.” Doherty agrees, emphasizing how removing the safety net of reshoots creates a space for “really exciting things to happen.” This method, though demanding, produces a rawness and authenticity that adds depth to the narrative and its characters.
