Terrifying and sometimes cruel. Years and Years hits you on a personal level.
I've watched tons of miniseries / television series but nothing amplified my anxiety the way Years and Years did. This is not for the faint of heart.
At times, touching on greatness, and at other times, deeply infuriating and occasionally even embarrassing. So yeah, much like a lot of RTD's Who work too.
Years and Years was such a bold concept. Imagine a personal epic like Our Friends in the North, yet instead of mining the past, the saga navigates its way through a possible future. Mixing influences as diverse as Threads, Black Mirror, Doctor Who, Coronation Street, and even Karaoke together, produced a vision of tomorrow that was often very close to the bone, but also sometimes just too fantastical and somewhat lurid for my tastes. For example I just think RTD farted out the last embarrassing ten minutes or so of the final episode, but,…
I created this account specifically to post this review. Ever since I watched this in February, the poor qualities of this show have been stuck in my head and I hope this somehow relieves me of having to think about it any more. Further, the bulk of reviews, both from amateurs on this site and 'professionals' on Rotten Tomatoes, are glowingly positive and I feel they've given this programme far too much slack. The only negative review I could find attacked the programme from the right, deriding the identity politics and representation present, which, to me, misses much more fundamental problems in pursuit of political point-scoring.
I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a fan of Russell T Davies,…
"Love. I am love"
a bit too we live in a society-ish at times but nonetheless it's a powerful, scary and entertaining mini-series that's a better Black Mirror season than the one we just got.
Keep an eye out for this show in the US when it drops on HBO next week, and you won't regret it.
Years and Years drops us into a nightmarish future. Trump got elected for a second term, dropping a nuclear bomb before leaving office and was replaced by another puppet in the form of Pence. The right-wing, bigoted populist Four Star Party led by Vivienne Rook are edging closer to Parliament and Number 10 Downing Street. The economy is in free-fall, technology is making more and more jobs obsolete and things are only about to get worse...
A frighteningly brilliant thought provoking series that's arguably not only scarier and more realistic but also better than Black Mirror, Years and…
Years and Years follows a British family from 2019 to 2034, and in doing so, covers quite a few very probable near-future scenarios; mainly in socio-political factors, climate change, emerging technological trends and the state of the world at large; much of it via news bulletins, as well as the situations closer to home that directly affect the main cast - such as an immigration plot, rise in far-right politics, a breach of trust in banks, segregation, and the concept of online transmutation.
In a nutshell, it feels like a 6-hour Black Mirror feature.
Had I watched this when it came out in 2019 it would have come across as a worrisome watch of what to expect in the immediate…
