Hideo Kojima is the newest voice to express his opinion on the buzzworthy Netflix series, Adolescence, describing it as an “impressive” production. Renowned for his passion for television and cinema, the acclaimed video game creator frequently offers insights on his Twitter account, ranging from enthusiastic endorsements (such as Furiosa) to more tepid reactions (like Madame Web).
Kojima recently tuned in to Adolescence, a gripping crime drama that has captivated audiences and critics alike. Not only has it climbed to the top of Netflix‘s most-watched list, but it has also achieved a remarkable 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The series, led by Stephen Graham, has garnered widespread acclaim.
Sharing his thoughts, Kojima tweeted, “I watched the first episode of Adolescence on Netflix. It’s remarkable. Shot in a single continuous take, it captures everything from the police raid and arrest of a teenage suspect to the journey to the station, medical assessments, lawyer consultations, and the interrogation.”
The celebrated Death Stranding creator further added, “As it navigates through various characters, the case’s intricacies gradually unfold. The narrative spans one real-time hour, beginning with the early morning operation at 6 a.m. through to the 7 a.m. interrogation. The character portrayals, dramatic tension, and unfolding mystery are all exceptionally executed. I’m committed to seeing this through.”
Kojima’s detailed and favorable review is a significant endorsement. He is known for more succinct appraisals when less captivated by a show, or occasionally offering no opinion, as with The Electric State.
