Years and Years

Years & Years is a fictional, but very real feeling satirical drama. I was immediately intrigued when I first heard about its airing. As a big fan of Emma Thompson, I had to tune in. I was not expecting to be impacted as much as I was.. From start to finish Years & Years pulls you in. Expressing everyday fears that we all share, this show holds a high amount of relevancy. This show will make you Angry, Sad, but also Hopeful. Our future can be scary if we don't fight for what we love and hold dearly to our everyday lives. Years and Years gave me hope in a very dark time in World History. Anyone who needed hope after the 2016 Election should give it a watch.

It helped me remember that the real power is actually in the hands of the people.

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.

I've just watched this series for the first time on Netflix - it's April 2025 and it's so scary how this show is depicted and how much of that still rings true today.

It's an electrifying take on us as a society and how we go on living in a world of technological advancements led by facists; not too dissimilar from the world we are currently living in.

Very Black Mirror esque; the show's writers and directors have done an outstanding job!

My heart is still pounding & I know it will leave an everlasting impression on me.

If only more of us weren't so scared to break the status quo & stand up for what isn't right.

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.

China blocked the show after the second episode because it was suspected of attacking Chinese leaders. In fact, I don't think he will really become a life leader. Because that is really against the education we receive. And historical trends. In 2022, we will see what happens. I hope that this world will develop in a good direction. I hope that the world will still be full of justice and fairness. I hope that the world will be a whole, not more and more fragmented. Recently, the US trade war behavior has made me very disappointed with the United States because they do not seem to want to promote free trade. In China, I feel more and more control, and the whole society is tightening. Because of the increasingly tense situation between China and the United States. In fact, the China-US conflict at the beginning of the film is very similar to reality. I can hardly distinguish between reality and illusion. This makes me very scared and deeply feels that politics is really about everyone's life. The world seems to be moving in a bad direction. I hope that we can all be tolerant, have more understanding and reason, and not be incited and misled. I hope that all this will not happen as the drama.
