Crime drama Adolescence divides Liverpool

Available for over a year

Netflix’s Adolescence, co-written by and starring Kirkby’s Stephen Graham, follows the story of a 13-year-old boy arrested for the murder of a female classmate, highlighting violence by boys against girls. However, its comparisons to the real-life murder of 12-year-old Ava White in Liverpool have sparked backlash, with Ava’s mother, Leeann, calling the references misleading and upsetting.
