Years and Years

The opening episode of this show captured everything we are all feeling in this post-2014 world. It didn't pull a single punch, it hit every note in a way that made you not just question the world, but yourself.

It did suffer one thing, and that is that it didn't hide its own political stance. But, in a world where insanity seems to prevail, we need sensible people like Russell T Davies showing us where the line used to be, and hopefully help us get back to it.

I created an account because I can't stop thinking about this show! Russell T Davies has worked his magic again and created something stellar. The first episode is an absolutely brilliant and terrifying hour of tv. The acting is totally convincing and raw, and the last twenty minutes in particular are pure genius - the tension is absolutely stifling. I am completely convinced that television history has been made with Years and Years. Really, really fantastic, and very sinister. I highly recommend and can't wait for next week.

This show makes you look around and think about the world as we know it and what it is becoming. Somehow it combines parts of our history and shows what is likely to happen if we don't think about whats going on and learn from our past.

Can't recommend it enough... Just to paint the picture, this is the first time I'm writing a review on a show. Thats how much it spoke to me.

Yes, yes, you could say clockwork orange, black mirror, and many others. It was funny, horrifying, sad...I keep saying to people, 'whats the matter with the world?' and this shows us exactly that.

Remarkable, unforgettable. This is the kind of stuff that motivates me to keep writing and working in this industry.

I don't remember another story giving me such an intense amount of feelings altogether. The weight it left on my heart got heavier and heavier with every sequence, every episode, every line of (magnificent) dialogue, and I could feel the writer's goal being accomplished within me. What a ride. Everything here is interesting, even arcs coming from minor characters, every detail.

Episode 4 was easily one of the toughest viewing experiences of my life (in a tremendously good way). It affected my mind in a way that I know I'll never forget, and could never fully describe (or recover, truly).

I always say that a good project "doesn't end when it ends", and this is the perfect example. Years and Years, somehow, left a permanent and stunning mark in my mind and soul.

It really doesn't get any better than this.
