Years and Years

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.

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.

Amazing cast, incredibly well written, disturbingly plausible storyline. Episode 4 broke my heart. I can honestly say that I may have lost a little sleep thinking about what the future may have in store for mankind after watching 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.

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.
