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.
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'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.

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.
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!

- 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).
