Removal of Any U.S. Politics....
This is a British TV Show, not an American one... Why do we need to include U.S. Politics, I believe it just stirs up drama within the article, does anyone oppose this change? Valorrr (lets chat) 00:12, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- If there has been significant impact and media coverage of US politics (especially Elon Musk's comments, which always have widespread impact), I think there's justification for keeping it in. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:54, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Elon Musk's nefarious and fallacious commentary has been noteworthy and significant - his influence is global. It's not called the World Wide Web for nothing. The article should not disregard it. Cnbrb (talk) 15:08, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- This is very clearly NPOV. Calling someone's commentary "fallacious" or "nefarious" without evidence indicates this individual is very biased and unqualified to edit WP. 66.141.235.58 (talk) 16:23, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Agree, Wikipedia:NPOV should be used, If you call people those types of words, you shouldn't be editing this... Valorrr (lets chat) 16:35, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- You'll find that Musk's commentary is objectively invalid, and this is supported by cited sources in the article. This information should remain in the article. That said, WP:NPOV is about articles, and I am not entirely sure that applies explicitly to talk pages. Editors are free to express a view about article content without having their integrity called into question. In line with WP:TALK, the purpose of talk page is to comment on content, not on contributors. No editor has the right to tell another editor that they cannot edit unless there has been a genuine violation of policy. Cnbrb (talk) 17:45, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- You have aka @Special:Contributions/Cnbrb, have used some fancy words to describe the person, its more of Wikipedia:IMPARTIAL and Wikipedia:ATTRIBUTEPOV. Valorrr (lets chat) 21:03, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Now looking at this, any edits you make related to Elon Musk, may possibly be a conflict of interest... Valorrr (lets chat) 02:35, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- No. That's not what a conflict of interest is - please read WP:COI. All editors are entitled to personal opinions, but are required to exercise WP:NPOV when editing articles. Show me an article edit I have made that you consider problematic and I will gladly discuss it on Talk. This thread is beginning to stray into WP:ADHOMINEM - I remind you that Talk pages are to comment on content, not on contributors. Cnbrb (talk) 08:51, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

- Agreed. The show has a global audience which includes wide viewership in the U.S., hence politicians (and their advisors like Musk) have taken notice and been speaking about it. Funcrunch (talk) 17:06, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- The importance of the message of the series have been discussed in other countries such as in Indian parliament. Therefore the political impact of the series is global in nature. Harshana.nadeeshan (talk) 08:09, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Edits
This user have been undoing edits done by others. Clearly this person is a lunatic since he is not up to a reasonable arguing. Please someone help to save the article from him. Harshana.nadeeshan (talk) 16:38, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- I believe you are the person making the incorrect edits not up to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style... Valorrr (lets chat) 16:47, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi. If my edit is not up to levels, please help refine it. Why do you have to go back to his edit for that? Let's make it better. I don't want to go to a page edit war, but NEDOCHAN edit is not good. Harshana.nadeeshan (talk) 01:35, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
- The issues are that the writing is very weak, the tone is not appropriate, it doesn't adopt a NPOV and it's all around a bad edit - sentences like 'offering a poignant commentary on contemporary issues affecting adolescents' are simply not appropriate, and reflect your opinion: that's not how Wikipedia works.
- Rather than edit war (you've been reverted 3 times by 2 editors), perhaps you could suggest edits here and other editors with more experience can advise? NEDOCHAN (talk) 14:34, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

- Please do not refer to another editor as a "lunatic". WP:CIVILITY is required in Talk pages. Harshana's edits didn't strike me as particularly poor - evidently an effort was made to include citations, so we can certainly assume good faith here. Maye better to discuss any problems in detail here rather than engage in an edit war. 11:13, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
Lead section draft
Can someone (NEDOCHAN?) please check this to expand the lead section? Thank you.
Adolescence is a British psychological crime drama television series created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, directed by Philip Barantini, and produced by Warp Films in collaboration with Plan B Entertainment for Netflix. The series follows Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), a 13-year-old boy, who is accused for the murder of a girl in his school and explores the possible factors contributing to Jamie's actions. Each episode in the four-episodes limited series were shot in one continuous take.
Adolescence premiered on Netflix on 13 March 2025. It has received critical acclaim, with praise for its acting, writing, direction and cinematography.[1] [2] Within five weeks of release, it became the third-most watched English-language Netflix series. [3] Adolescence was placed at the top of the Barb Audiences weekly television ratings in the UK, the first streaming show to do so.[4]
The themes depicted in the series, such as the influence of manosphere on vulnerable youth, the effects of toxic masculinity and children's exposure to social media gained attention of educators, legislators and the general public. In the UK, Netflix made the series available to view free in secondary schools.[5]
On 9 April 2025, it was reported that Netflix and Plan B Entertainment were in talks about a second season of the series.[6][7]

"Confession"?
The character says the words "what I did," but does not say that the "what" was "kill the girl." Is there some external source that establishes that yes, Jamie did kill his classmate? Otherwise, we might call this an interpretation of the dialogue. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:15, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- I agree that some of the content in this article is misleading. It says that in Episode One, "Bascombe plays CCTV footage of Jamie stabbing Katie to death," but I never got the impression that we were seeing clearcut footage of the murder. It seemed like a boy fighting with and striking the girl, but not necessarily the murder itself. Then in Episode Three, it says he gave "an accidental confession to the murder." Unless I'm missing something, what he confessed to was the confrontation and threatening the girl with a knife, not necessarily murder. I think the article is misrepresenting the facts. The audience does not definitively know after the first three episodes whether he did it. In the final episode, he says he will plead guilty. That is the closest we get to an admission of guilt, yet this Wikipedia article makes it seem like the audience knows what happened from the first episode, which is untrue.

- Yes, there is clearly no "accidental confession to the murder" in the episode. He simply says he brought the knife to threaten her.Trumpetrep (talk) 04:20, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
Stephen Grahams name doesn't include a hyper link?
On the cast section his name does not include a hyper-link. He is very notable and has his own page 86.17.202.198 (talk) 21:31, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
- Stephen Graham is currently wikilinked in the Cast section as well as the lead, infobox, Episodes, Production, and Reception sections. If anything, his name is overlinked. Funcrunch (talk) 23:45, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
