Television history has been made!
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.
It is scary how real it is
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.

I like it, however, it was blocked in my country.
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.
Are you paying attention?
If this show doesn't scare the crap out of you then you aren't paying attention. I haven't been this disturbed by a show since, well, ever.

2025...6 years on...
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.

- TriviaMany ideas used in the show can be seen in Russell T. Davies' work on Doctor Who (2005), particularly the episodes Turn Left (2008) and The Sound of Drums (2007). The most notable similarity is the re-use of the name Vivienne Rook.
- GoofsThe use of the virtual assistant Signor is inconsistent. On a few occasions it is triggered without anyone preceding a question with the word "Signor". One time it even interrupts a casual conversation unprompted to give a definition (about the movie Shirley Valentine).
