Backlash Over 'Race Swapping'
The creator of Adolescence has responded to backlash from viewers over the show's casting of its young lead actor, Owen Cooper. Fans have been captivated by Cooper's performance alongside Stephen Graham in the gripping drama.
A Defended Casting Choice
Jack Thorne, the show's creator, defended the decision to cast Owen Cooper as the young lead role of Jamie Miller. Despite accusations of 'race swapping', Thorne clarified that the focus was on masculinity and delving into the complexities of boys, not race.
No Basis in Reality
Thorne emphasized that Jamie Miller is a fictional character and not based on any real-life story. He expressed the importance of avoiding harm that can come from portraying real-life events without clarity.
Record-Breaking Success
Adolescence has shattered streaming records for Netflix, becoming the first-ever show to top weekly ratings in the UK. With 6.45 million viewers in its first seven days, the drama has surpassed previous records set by other popular shows.
