The Dark Side of 'Coming of Age' on Screen The latest young adult adaptation to hit the streaming services is "Boys of Tommen," based on Chloe Walsh's bestselling novels about forbidden love and trauma among Ireland's elite.
While it may seem like just another iteration of the "teen angst" genre, scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find a more nuanced exploration of adolescent experience – one that raises important questions about mental health, privilege, and the pressures of growing up.
The cast is comprised of relatively new faces to the screen, with Nancy Surridge taking on the lead role of Shannon Lynch, a shy and mysterious teenager from a troubled home life.
