Off topic & small talk: are there still series junkies here (Netflix and co.)? (Page 79)

Hanshanshans wrote on 05.04.2025 at 22:33: Watched "Adolescence" on Netflix a few days ago. British miniseries with 4 episodes. Not easy fare, a 13 year old is suspected of murdering a classmate, but very well realized.
Very good job by the actors and, what makes the series special, each episode was shot in a single take, without cuts or other "tricks".

The idea that after 20 -30 minutes a mistake happens or something in the "sequence" is wrong and you have to shoot the whole thing again from the beginning is intense. Especially in one episode, the cross-fading / panning from one scene, with the drone, to the other scene, I thought that was really awesome.

Edit: But I actually found the story pretty boring

I think the story is kept extra simple, maybe to give it more reality.

For each episode, 4 weeks of shooting were scheduled in which each scene was played/recorded about 10 times. The best take was then used.
