You Probably Missed This Musical Detail That Makes Adolescence Even More Haunting
In episode two of Adolescence, Faye Marsay's character laments that in murder cases, it's often the perpetrator who is focussed on, rather than the victim.
'Katie isn't important. Jamie is,' she claims. 'Everyone will remember Jamie. No one will remember her. That's what annoys me. That's what gets to me.'
While the hard-hitting Netflix drama undoubtedly focusses on Jamie, played by teen actor Owen Cooper, rather than the girl at his school that he murders, director Philip Barantini said that the team did make sure that Katie's voice was heard in some small way throughout the show – even if viewers don't realise it.
Speaking to the official Netflix outlet Tudum, Barantini explained that a voice heard in the score over the course of the show's four episodes actually belongs to Emilia Holliday – who briefly appears in the show as Katie.
'The voice in the score is Katie's voice,' he explained. 'Katie is a part of the whole series. Her presence is always there.'
Another key musical moment in the show comes at the end of episode two, which also makes use of a remarkable drone shot that maintains the show's one-take, straight-through approach.
While the camera flies to another part of the action, where Stephen Graham's character is seen lying flowers on the spot where his son murdered his classmate, a cover of Sting's Fragile is heard being performed by a children's choir.
Similarly, Aurora's Through The Eyes Of A Child is heard over the show's closing moments, which as chosen by Barantini as he heard it for the first time around the time he first read Adolescence's script.
Meanwhile, a more light-hearted moment in the show makes use of Aha's Take On Me, as Jamie's parents reflect on the early years of their romance as teenagers.
Adolescence is available to stream now on Netflix.

Who is Paige Spiranac? Everything to know about the Happy Gilmore 2 character
Happy Gilmore 2 sees Adam Sandler back on the links, with the new Netflix movie seeing the actor appear alongside celebrity golfer Paige Spiranac (along with many of the biggest names in the sport). Spiranac, a former NCAA and pro golfer, has pivoted toward being an on-air personality, spokesperson and model in recent years. The Colorado native appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2018, and has since become a content creator focusing on various golf issues, providing golf advice and pushing back over LGPA dress code changes among other things. Sharp-eyed fans spotted Spiranac in the trailer for the movie, where she appears as a sporting-goods store employee reacting as Sandler's notoriously clumsy Happy Gilmore tees off in a store, to predictable results.

‘The Hunting Wives' Is Soapy, Sultry Fun
'The Hunting Wives,' the first season of which is now on Netflix, is ideal summer TV. This lustful, proudly silly drama is just the kind of thing you can be seduced by on a hot day when all you want to do is sit inside and binge. Based on the novel by May Cobb and adapted by Rebecca Cutter ('Hightown'), 'The Hunting Wives' stars Brittany Snow as Sophie, a recent transplant to small-town Texas from Cambridge, Mass. Sophie once had a career in political public relations, but now her main job is to be the wife of Graham (Evan Jonigkeit), a stick-in-the-mud architect, who is working for the local oil baron, Jed Banks (Dermot Mulroney). Jed, meanwhile, has G.O.P. aspirations. Sophie is skeptical of her new home — it doesn't help when she attends a party at Jed's house only to discover that it's an N.R.A. benefit. But she is immediately intrigued by Margo (Malin Akerman), Jed's flirtatious wife. Just how flirtatious? Well, within minutes of meeting Sophie in a bathroom, Margo is topless. ('Hunting Wives' is audaciously not safe for work.) Sophie is soon recruited to join Margo's coterie of pals. Their activities involve drinking margaritas, shooting guns and a lot of secret Sapphic action. The tawdry fun works largely because of Akerman, who seems to be having an absolute ball purring in a twangy accent and making bedroom eyes at everyone in her vicinity. Sophie develops a friend-crush that turns into a crush-crush as Margo unleashes the dormant party girl who went sober after a drunk-driving accident. In a modern drama cliché, 'The Hunting Wives' does open with a shot of a bloodied young woman running through the woods, hinting at the murder mystery that will ultimately unfold. When it does, the show kicks into an even more absurd gear with revelations galore, some of them almost delightfully predictable. It's worth keeping in mind: All these people are gun owners. 'The Hunting Wives' sets up a kind of red state-blue state conflict, but the plot is largely the stuff of soapy fantasy. There's nothing new in the idea that beneath all the Bible-thumping and purity rhetoric, there might be a whole lot of dirty stuff going on in rural America. Still, Akerman's performance makes the case that hypocrisy can be liberating. Like Snow's wide-eyed Sophie, you'll have trouble resisting her charms.
