Netflix's latest hit-in-the-making starring Stephen Graham, the gripping four-part saga Adolescence, is poised to set screens ablaze when it launches on 13th March.
The much-loved Peaky Blinders actor steps into the shoes of a distraught father grappling with his son's accusation of an appalling crime.
With millions of eyes expected to be glued to Netflix for the premiere, fans are itching to know how to ramp up their excitement for this high-octane TV spectacle. Well, here's your cue.
If you've somehow missed it, now's your golden opportunity to get acquainted with Adolescence's director Philip Barantini's previous edge-of-your-seat drama, Boiling Point.
Spinning off from the 2021 blockbuster film, the 2023 series witnesses Stephen Graham as Andy, an ex-head chef at a posh eatery, navigating life six months post-film events.
Witness Andy's protégée Carly (played by Vinette Robinson) as she takes the reins of her own kitchen in a series where each instalment is ingeniously captured in a single take.
You can currently marathon the whole series on BBC iPlayer for free – perfect for those weekends leading up to the Netflix release. But don't just believe the hype; Google review praise is through the roof, including one fervent comment that raves: "I watched the short and the feature film and have just finished the fourth episode of series one", reports the Liverpool Echo.
"I was gutted when I realised this was the final episode. I really hope the show gets a second and longer series.
"It had me gripped and I just want to know more about all of the characters."
A second agreed: "It's useful to watch the film first, but not essential. I thought the TV show was a lot better than the film, it was so brilliant and I was gutted when I realised I'd watched the final episode.
"I really hope it gets renewed, the cast were fantastic and I wanted to eat the food cooked.."
A third fan shared, "Amazing I watched the movie and stumbled across the series. It's absolutely brilliant. Gripping, on the edge of your seat drama.
"The story lines are so good and it makes you feel so many emotions. I literally binge watched every episode in one night."
A final enthusiast said, "Film was good but TV series was brilliant. Would totally recommend best thing I've seen in ages.
"Really hope there's a second series. Amazing acting from the whole cast."
Despite fans' pleas, there are no plans to release a second season of Boiling Point yet; however, Barantini's upcoming project looks just as compelling.
