Jack Thorne's most notable works for television include 'This Is England' (86-88-90), a gritty and poignant portrayal of working-class life in Thatcher's Britain. The show follows a group of young people as they navigate love, friendship, and violence against the backdrop of rising tensions in 1980s England.
Thorne has also been praised for his work on 'The Eddy', a Channel 4 series that explores the dark side of the club scene in Berlin. This moody drama about a bereaved jazz pianist running a struggling Paris nightclub was met with mixed reviews, with some critics finding the complex multiple dialogue confusing and others admiring its ambition.
Another notable work is 'Kiri', which tells the true story of the abduction of a nine-year-old Black girl from her foster family. The show stars Sarah Lancashire as a social worker who becomes embroiled in the case, along with Paapa Essiedu and Wunmi Mosaku.
Thorne has also tackled difficult topics such as the News International phone hacking scandal in 'The Hack', which starred David Tennant and Robert Carlyle. This drama was praised for its wit and satire but may have jarred some viewers with its tone.
'Toxic Town' is a powerful drama that explores the story of a young couple fighting for custody of their newborn daughter after she requires life-saving treatment. The show stars Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham, who also co-created it.
Thorne's collaborations with writer-director Shane Meadows have been highly praised, particularly in 'The Virtues', which explored themes of childhood trauma and abuse. The series was praised for its unflinching portrayal of difficult subjects.
One of his most recent works is 'Adolescence', a Netflix drama that explores the deadly consequences of online life leaking into the real world. The show stars Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty, and follows a 13-year-old boy's arrest for the murder of a female classmate.
Overall, Jack Thorne has made a significant impact on British television with his thought-provoking and often uncomfortable dramas.

. His collaborations with Shane Meadows are also really impressive, he's got this knack for getting the best out of his actors and making complex stories feel real. I'm curious to see what he does next! 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, shows like 'This Is England' were super important back in the day and tackled some really tough issues... but now it feels kinda dated 
. I think the problem is that we're moving so fast, tech-wise and socially... it's hard for any show to keep up 
.
, but sometimes I feel like his dramas are just hitting you with too much info at once 
.
. 'Kiri', for example, was an incredible show that really made you feel something 
. And I love how Thorne's always pushing boundaries with his collaborations with Shane Meadows - they're like two peas in a pod when it comes to tackling dark subjects 
.
. Can't wait to see what Thorne does next 
.
. But, I do think some of his shows can be a bit heavy-handed at times... still, overall, he's a genius when it comes to crafting dramas that make you feel all the feels 
. On the other hand, some people might say his writing style can be a bit dense, but I think that's part of what makes his work so impactful – he's not afraid to push boundaries and challenge our perspectives 
. It's like they were expecting some cheesy club drama but instead they got a deep, moody show that explored the darker side of Berlin's nightlife 
. And yeah, multiple dialogue can be confusing, but that's part of its charm, right? 
, anyway, what's everyone thinking about jack thorne's latest drama on netflix? 
has anyone else seen 'adolescence'? 
. the way they portrayed the online world as this toxic monster that consumes our lives is just so true rn 
. anyway, kudos to Jack Thorne for tackling such heavy topics with sensitivity and honesty 
can't believe how much talent there is in britain right now!!! jack thorne is literally killing it with all these amazing shows he's worked on 
i'm also loving the collaborations with shane meadows, their dramas are always so honest and unflinching
