Netflix subscribers are urged to watch this gripping political thriller featuring Stephen Graham before the British actor takes centre stage in an upcoming drama set to enthral audiences. The Boiling Point star will headline the potent new four-part series Adolescence, where he plays a father grappling with the fallout of a dreadful crime allegedly committed by his young son. Before Adolescence premieres on the streaming service on Thursday, 13th March, Netflix users may be curious about other TV projects from Graham currently available for streaming.
Luckily, some of the actor's finest work can be found on the platform. In 2022, he featured in the ITV true crime series The Walk-In, which dramatised the actual infiltration of the far-right terrorist group National Action by anti-fascist activist Matthew Collins. This riveting five-part series unveils how Collins went undercover to infiltrate a neo-Nazi faction and dismantle them from within, ultimately thwarting their plot to assassinate Labour MP Rosie Cooper.
Dean-Charles Chapman portrays the group's spokesperson Jack Renshaw in the series, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for his plan to murder the politician. With its similarly intense themes, this acclaimed series is the perfect primer for fans of Graham eagerly awaiting his starring role in what promises to be another must-see drama. One enthused fan took to Google reviews to express their thoughts, writing: "Fantastic frightening series, all the more scary because it's true and we all know some of the characters", reports the Liverpool Echo.
"Stephen Graham could not do a bad performance if he tried but excellent in this. Weary everyman constantly paying and working off the Dept of his younger self. "Andrew Ellis, brilliant as the boy with no future looking for a cause and friends. A terrifying backdrop of far right Britain capable of extreme violence. A must watch.". Echoing the sentiments, another viewer chimed in: "Stephen Graham is amongst my favourite actors and he is once again, stupendous in this series as well.".
The same reviewer described The Walk-In as "sureshot must-watch for the content, acting and the relevance.". Confessing their motivation for viewing, another weighed in: "I only watched it tbh, because Stephen Graham was in it, and anything with him in it is going to be worthwhile watching. "Yet again, he was superb, and the whole series was excellent. Binged all five episodes in one night. Thoroughly recommend.".
Another user capped off the rave reviews with a five-star recommendation: "Excellent drama, frightening and real. Superb acting all round.". As The Walk-In gathers steam, it invites the question, will you muster the courage to watch before Adolescence arrives on the screens?. The Walk-In is available to stream on Netflix.
