    I highly recommend the short Netflix series, “Adolescence”. Not only is it highly topical and insightful into the areas you mentioned, but they’re 45 minute episodes done in one shot. The acting, directing and filmography is incredible.

      Agree on all points however I do need to point out the one shots are “faked”, there are hidden cuts within them. It’s still very impressive and full of very long takes but it’s not literally one shot per episode.

        Oh really? That’s a little disappointing and deceptively presented in the, “behind the scenes”. Thank you for the correction. I’ll still stand by that the shots were phenomenal, acting and writing were great. I’ll never forget the last scene.

          I’m sorry I think I’m mixing my stuff up with “the studio”, and I was thinking about that window trick they did but that’s just VFX to put the glass back in, not a cut. Seeing the downvotes made me double check and they’re very actively claiming they’re actual one shots so there’s no reason to doubt.

      Ah, it’s been at the top of my list forever and I keep forgetting. Thanks for another reminder. I will watch soon!

        It’s really not something that I’d watch - I stick to comedy 90% of the time, but my partner was very insistent and made a good case for it.
