I May Destroy You

Just Finnished watching the first two episodes and they have completely drawn me in. I love the awareness that this series is raising plus the contagious ways off the leading actress. She is the perfect role for this character and I'm so glad to see her pop up on my screens again I've been waiting since chewing gum !

Loved it! As a young British woman from London it's very relatable, from language to interactions. Some hard hitting scenes mixed in with Michaela Coel style dark humour. It's not meant to be girlfriends or SATC and it doesn't pretend to be. It's not a sitcom or light comedy, it's devastating at times, yet humorous. It's witty and real, covers some of the darker life scenes that aren't ordinarily placed on the screen. Think more of skins/euphoria etc... better yet don't compare it to anything at all... yes, people get wasted, do drugs and shock, horror they talk to their friends when on the loo. I'm confused by the lower scores claiming it should be a thriller or that the characters are one dimensional when we see the depth in their nuanced facial expressions and fleeting moments of raw honesty between friends. I can only say that those people appear to have completely missed the story being told. They didn't understand that it's not meant to be a whodunnit or sanitised portrayal of sexual assault according to how society expects victims to behave. It's about consent, the shades of grey, the acceptance/lack of it, how we understand it and how it's interpreted by the aggressor and victim...How sexual assault survivors cope with the aftermath and then have to exist with daily life. It's brilliant and has left me excited for Coel's next project.

I live in France so I only could watch the first episode. I found it great. What exactly happened to her? I want to know !

I don't know when I have seen a show that depicted real life so accurately.

What an incredible watch. I binge watched the whole season although it was not an 'easy' watch per say - it was raw and extremely needed.

It was excellently executed and I felt every single emotion. Michaela Coel is nothing short from phenomenal. The acting in this show was fantastic; as a Londoner, I love how true this show felt to reality. The soundtrack was equally fantastic. The throwback in Theo's segment was much appreciated nostalgia, although again, it was raw but needed.

I have learnt so much from this show and will recommend it to everyone I love.

There are lessons here that need to be learnt; this show is the truth. The experiences highlighted are what many of us go through and the world needs to see it - we must see it. We must see ourselves in both the victims and the villains, because you never know what side you may end up on; we must LEARN.

In order to move forward, we must listen to the stories of others and learn from them.

To dislike this show, is to dislike the truth.

Thank you so much Michaela, you're making big waves.
