I May Destroy You

• This show is fearless in its attitude towards the modern world in which it exists, with Coel's creative voice bursting through to make some necessary commentary.

• Without mincing words, with no excuses to spare it from scrutiny in every coherence or contradiction, the series opens up to the audience while simultaneously turning inward, almost like an exorcism of everything good and bad that exists within a person.

• The series is moving, at times unsettling, funny, and truthful. It also initiates a beautiful reflection on responsibilities toward one's friends and, above all, toward oneself. The series unsettles the mind, right up to the final episode. Michaela Coel has truly managed to create a baffling work with multiple possible readings that interrogates consent and the scars left by its absence. You keep thinking about it long after finishing it.

• In 12 episodes, Michaela Coel crafts a work that tackles all the hottest themes of recent years with precision, originality, and surprising lightness

• A serious subject matter, but so well done that you can watch it genuinely moved, without any pseudo-dismay. Above all, the quirky moments within this theme make Coel's work well worth watching, because nothing is cheaply ridiculed, but rather mysteriously illuminated.
