Stephen Graham, who co-created, co-wrote and stars in the critically acclaimed Netflix series “Adolescence,” hopes that the show sparks conversations at home. “When me and Jack started talking about this and writing and creating it, we wanted there to be conversations between parents and children,” he told The Post exclusively at the Gotham Television Awards on Monday, June 2.

The series takes a pointed look at the role social media has in shaping young male teens and their views of women.“We wanted to try and see if we could create that conversation that needs to happen,” he told The Post.“I think it’s something that we all maybe need to take accountability for,” he opined. “I mean, you know, from the schooling, parenting, social kind of environment that our kids grow up in, and now I think these big social media companies themselves have a responsibility.” Graham was quick to clarify that “I’m not saying police it” but rather “I’m just saying have a responsibility to be mindful.”, winning for Breakthrough Limited Series, Outstanding Lead Performance in a Limited Series and Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited Series.“Adolescence” centers around a teen boy named Jamie Miller who is arrested after the murder of a girl in his school.“I read an article in the newspaper, which was about a young boy who had stabbed a young girl to death.

You go through a lot of different things, physically, mentally, and even spiritually in the greater scheme of things,” the actor shared. “My main question was why: Why is this happening?” Graham continued, “There’s a wonderful saying, which is, it takes a village to raise a child. And within that kind of complexity … it’s kind of like, maybe we’re all accountable. “When a child closed the door back in the day when it was me and you, we didn’t have access to the rest of the world , and we couldn’t be influenced dramatically by other people and their theories and their thought processes.
