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.

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.

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).
