Brit pop star Adele has written letters of thanks to the creators of the Netflix hit series Adolescence. 

The singer, 37, told director Philip Barantini, 44, that she made a point of watching the hard-hitting crime drama with her 13-year-old son, Angelo.

Adele praised the series for ‘changing her relationship’ with Angelo, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki, 51. 

Adolescence, starring Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham, follows the story of a 13-year-old schoolboy accused of murdering a classmate after being radicalised by misogynistic online content.

Director Philip said: ‘I am getting messages, inundated on Instagram, from people from all over the world who can relate to this story or have really been affected by it. That, for me, has blown my mind a little bit.’

Speaking during a masterclass with the Royal Television Society in words obtained by The Sun, he added: ‘I had a text message from Steven Spielberg who has watched it twice, and I got letters from Adele last week – handwritten letters from Adele. 

He continued: ‘I mean, just like saying that she had watched it with her son, and it has changed their relationship.’

The director added that the show has surpᴀssed their expectations as he gushed about the power of Netflix which has elevated the show to such a level. 

The four-part series has become Netflix’s second most-watched English-language TV show ever, behind only Wednesday, the Addams family spin-off.

Since its March 13 debut, Adolescence has racked up 141.2 million views.

The series has sparked a national conversation and even prompted Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to suggest it be shown in schools. 

He revealed that he watched it with his 14-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son, saying: ‘As a dad, I have not found it easy viewing.’ 

It comes after Adele made a rare public appearance with her fiancé Rich Paul, 44, at an NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this year.

While Adele and Rich have chosen to keep their relationship largely out of the spotlight, they have frequently been pH๏τographed together at sporting events. 

Adele previously revealed to Rolling Stone that they met through a mutual friend, having both got up to dance to a Drake song at the birthday party. 

The couple, who have been dating since 2021, announced their engagement in August of last year when Adele flashed her engagement ring. 

Following a proposal from a fan, Adele admitted: ‘I can’t marry you, because I’m already getting married.’ 

The romance is Adele’s first relationship since she divorced her ex-husband Simon. 

The couple were married between 2018 and 2021 and are said to have parted on amicable terms after Adele decided to end the relationship. 

She told British Vogue: ‘I wasn’t miserable miserable, but I would have been miserable had I not put myself first. 

‘But, yeah, nothing bad happened or anything like that.’

Following Adele’s announcement that she and Rich were engaged, she revealed that she would be taking an extended break from music. 

She has been full of praise for the relationship and said that she would like to have more children. 

‘Once I am done with all my obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a baby,’ she said on stage last May.  

‘I want a girl because I’ve already got a boy. I feel like she might be like the person I love the most in the world, but also probably hate the most in the world.

‘That is what I feel will happen. She’s going to put me in my place all the time, isn’t she? With me as her mother and Rich as her father, she’s going to be a bossy little queen, isn’t she?’

Rich, from Ohio, already has three children – Reonna, Richie, and Zane – from a prior relationship.

Adele thanked the sports agent for his support as she ended her Vegas residency last year, stating: ‘Thank you for always bigging me up and making me feel like I could do whatever I wanted to do.’
