Everyone is hooked on the content of the show, so much so, people have noticed the very sweet detail of some childhood pictures that appear in the Adolescence opening credits.

As episode two begins, a montage of a number of photos of children appear on screen. Someone on Reddit asked: “Does anyone know the meaning behind the pictures of the kids in the intros for Adolescence? I found it so eerie with the soundtrack but I can’t see how they link to the actual show.”

What are the pictures that are in the opening credits at the start of Adolescence on Netflix?

The general theory is that the pictures are childhood photos of the actors from the show. And everyone guessed right, Netflix told The Tab this is who the pictures are of.

Commenting on a Reddit post, one person guessed: “They are childhood photos of the child actors that are featured in each episode. I believe those photos are out in there to show that we are all innocent when we are young, but then when we become teens, the world corrupts us.”

And you can see why people think this. The pictures used in the show do look like baby-faced versions of some of the actors. Netflix confirmed: “They are childhood images of young actors on the show, supplied with their approval.”
