Years and Years

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.

...broken hearted having just watched episode four of this ground breaking show and broken is vey much the state of the world portrayed in 'Years and Years'...which isn't as far fetched as it should be. The show is set in the near future and while things look bleak, they're presented in an everyday way through the eyes of one family. Rather than take a 'shock horror' approach to events as they chillingly unfold, the family simply live it day to day, as we would, with warmth and humour. This normalises the horrors of this future world and that packs a far greater emotional punch, because there is a real beating heart at the centre of everything. I can honestly say that I've never seen anything quite like this on television before. Each episode kinda pulls you in for a hug, then rips your heart out. 'Years and Years' is clever, nuanced and absolutely not-to-be-missed. Even in the midst of what seems like despair it still manages to be endlessly entertaining and never dry or dull. I dare you not to be challenged by this, in the best possible way. More of this kind of story telling/social commentary please.

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.

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.
