Actor Stephen Graham has been praised as a 'national treasure' for his role in Netflix's Adolescence – and has opened up about his struggles with dyslexia and learning lines

Cooper, who is 15, is being tipped for Bafta victory for his debut acting performance as Jamie Miller, a child accused of murder, in the sleeper Netflix hit, which has become the most-streamed title in both the UK and the US within its first week of release.

While the series isn't based on a true story, Graham -- who portrays Eddie Miller, Jamie's dad in the series, in addition to being a co-writer -- told Rolling Stone UK that he drew inspiration from the several real-life incidents that happened among youth in the U.K., specifically several incidents that involved the stabbing of teen girls.

If you thought living through adolescence was hard, Netflix is here to remind you with a new limited series about a horrible murder that kids today have it even harder.

The Netflix series Adolescence explores the impact of social media on a 13-year-old boy, Jamie, who commits murder.
