“Adolescence,” Episode 4

I’ve already gone on record saying that “Adolescence,” the British series streaming on Netflix, is the TV event of the year. That was easy. What’s hard is choosing which one of its four, hour-long episodes—each shot in one dazzling, unbroken take—is the best one of all. This British crime series, created by Jack Thorne and actor Stephen Graham and thrillingly directed by Philip Barantini, is a grabber from the start, thrusting us so relentlessly and mercilessly into the action that you feel the same confusion and panic being experienced by the Miller family as the police stage a noisy pre-dawn raid on their suburban home and arrest their 13-year-old son for murder.
