Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 5387252, member: 966"] Mmm, i think a most of Severance is 'better.' It is impressive, though, that Adolescence is shot in one take, so the camerawork/direction is a major feat, and the acting needs to be appreciated as being like doing a play, as there aren't any cuts/redos. Awesome stuff. I do think, though, that i read some of the Episode 3 dialog was ad libbed, but i'm not sure how to interpret that—as increasing or diminishing the entire piece of work. Overall, i think i was let down a bit: [SPOILER="Semi-Spoilers"] In focusing on the family's reactions in the final episode, the 'resolution' of the actual crime was anticlimactic. Maybe i'm just too used to standard crime procedurals, but i wanted a bigger moment than just the kid saying he was changing his plea. I counted on this being a 'legal/crime' drama, and less of a family thing. Would much rather have seen more to do with the crime and the victim than the vandalization of the van. I realize that's part of the family/father arc, but it still seems like it was overfeatured, especially in a series of only four episodes. The whole rationalization for the crime—the incel stuff...? I still didn't get the motive for the crime. He got teased about being ugly, when he most certainly wasn't? He got teased at age 13 for some sort of projection of his everlasting virginity? That just seems so unbelievably unbelievable. Yes, i know kids are vulnerable and have new/different pressures in this social media era, but i still don't understand why he met her in a parking lot and already had the murder weapon with him. He was confronting her about previous stuff? I guess i need to rewatch an episode. Still, none of the foundation makes much sense. [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
