Actually I have to add one more which I just watched yesterday, the 4 episodes short series Adolesense on Netflix. God damn it's good! I binge-watched it yesterday until 2 AM and then dreamed inside of that context for the whole night until I woke up.

It's a crime drama written by Stephen Graham, who also plays one of the main roles in it and who also was in one of my favourite movies of all time "This is England". The 13 years old is arrested for alleged murder in the beginning and then most of the series shows how it affects his school mates, his family and the rest of the community.

It's totally fabricated and not based on a real story but it has the feeling that it is, somehow very powerful stuff.

The scene in the final episode where

spoilerStephen Graham's character enters his son's bedroom
was some of the best acting I have ever seen.

Yeah, the last episode was especially powerful. Have you seen This is England? It's a similar type of story, I hope he keeps making gems like that.
