Review of I May Destroy You

I cannot stress enough how important this series is, I literally cannot get it out of my mind. Michaela Coel has to be one of the most important story tellers of recent times. The mainstream is flooded with mis-informed and contrived narratives of growing up in London, and it has been painful to watch. As a Londoner, growing up in East London at exactly the same time as the show is set I cannot say enough how close to reality it is - from the nuance of the characters, the music and the decisions that shape the characters - it is stirring, powerful and evokes self reflection like nothing before. The acting is sensational, the script is beyond brilliant, every tiny bit of nuance Michaela includes, provides huge insight, bravely pushed to the forefront with no air brushing or rounded assumptions. This won't be for everyone, however - make no mistake this is completely ground breaking, truthful and stark - couldn't have come soon enough! Keep going Michaela!
