It's "Adolescence". Each episode is single shot. Also other than Stephen, the child actor's performance in it is outstanding!

Oh, it's such an incredible show! That episode three with the boy and the psychologist is one of the greatest pieces of acting I've ever seen.

Holy shit! I'm glad you mentioned it here because I was going to.

Also, for more continuous shots, the chase sequence in Adolescence is linked here - https://youtu.be/VQnyL7pagYY?si=oZiJJlTbnoyE0bBa and the behind the scenes here - https://youtube.com/shorts/dQ3F6qs3L0U?si=EEWEQOPKqh7bxsOy

But, really, the whole show is a classic. Highly recommended.

Then, of course, there's the continuous shot in True Detective Season one involving Rust Cohle. "30 seconds in and out. 30 seconds" - https://youtu.be/vnRTITzYnXs?si=tJZQ7BNAzPmOGsM-

The chase scene was the only part where I could see how the one-shot method caused them to run very very slow which kind of looked funny. The slowest chase scene ever.

Yea, lol.
