Fans of Netflix's latest drama release, Adolescence, should watch another top-rated miniseries featuring Stephen Graham after they've finished up their binge-watch.
The four-part mini-series dropped on Thursday (March 15) and is already a certified hit; not only has it shot to the top of Netflix's worldwide TV charts, but Adolesence has also racked up a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.
It stars 15-year-old Owen Cooper - making his onscreen debut - as well as Top Boy's Ashley Walters and acting royalty Stephen Graham.

Impressively, each hour-long episode is filmed in one continuous shot.
The synopsis reads: "When a 13-year-old is accused of the murder of a classmate, his family, therapist and the detective in charge are all left asking what really happened."
Adolescence was co-written by Graham alongside Jack Thorne, who was also behind the streamer's Toxic Town, which explores what is essentially the British Erin Brokovich.

And if you're looking for your next binge, then look no further than 2023 series Boiling Point - a spin-off to the one-shot feature film of the same name from 2021.
With Adolescene's Stephen Graham leading the cast, the movie followed an ‘emotionally scarred London chef’ struggling to get his team through the last Friday before Christmas – the busiest and most stressful restaurant shift of the year.
And, picking up where the film left off eight months on, the Boiling Point series sees head chef Carly (Vinette Robinson) battle to forge a name for new Dalston restaurant Point North, alongside her old kitchen crew.
Like Adolescence, the Boiling Point is made up of four episodes, also boasts a perfect, 100 percent critics score over on Rotten Tomatoes and sees the return of director Philip Barantini.

And while Boiling Point wasn't shot in one continuous take, it does open with a 'mesmerizing' 11-minute one-shot sequence.
