Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote: “#Adolescence is really disturbing and so well made. Incredible acting, film making and writing”. The praise comes following the success of his own show, Severance, on which Stiller works as show director.

The show was a hit with viewers, becoming the most watched streaming television show in the UK in a single week. In its first three weeks, the series garnered 96.7million views on Netflix worldwide. As of March 30, it recorded 30.4million views.
