Michaela Coel is a genius. The writing, the directing, honestly the whole thing had me riveted and emotional and I hope she wins some awards. Phenomenal work.
Equally rich side characters get a bit short-shrifted, but Coels' writing of Arabella's journey is as complex, multi-faceted, and lively as this medium can be, culminating in a galvanizing, slippery finale of pronged imperfections that is a perfect endpoint for this series.
I liked it, but what was the deal with biagio???!! I still don't understand. He called her over and over again, they bonded, sure he reacted bad to her rape, but overall he was sweet and cute, even in that last scene when said he could never hate her. So what happened? WHY? It upsets me so much that I will never get to know why he did that.
Michaela Coel is just amazing. What a good show!!!
I have to admit I had made my mind about not watching the show, cause I was like as a woman why would I want to watch another woman suffer for 12 episodes? So for a few months I avoided it, and it wasn’t til a few days ago when the golden globes snubbed Michaela and the show and I saw a lot of online support and praise about her and what she created that I changed my mind about it! And I’m glad I did!! It was clever, respectful of women and victims, it was emotional, it made you think about the morality behind a lot of situations we see as common nowadays, it made you angry and made you want to hurt the man who hurt her, it made you feel and think a lot and that’s a good show!
So this is a great show, something never done before (I found some similarities to Promising Young Woman, but I see both as sisters who are starting a new genre of women telling their truth and demanding justice) but what we see in the show honestly I’ve never seen it in any other, so yes I’m gonna dare and call it revolutionary.

i think this is my favorite limited series

I was so skeptical about it, but after the pilot I was hooked already! And it doesn't happen very often, so... I think I'm in love with this strange yet lovely show! I definitely recommend!
I did try to like this show, and gave it a good try but .... it really IS all over the place. The camera work is annoying, the lead can't speak clearly and it's overly long... just had to give up on it, although I felt it had an important message to convey.
Relevant, funny, moving, incredibly well acted, written and directed, so dense, human, full of thought and deep but also visually inventive and fascinating. Wow.
Eats more than it can chew and certainly there are details that could have had a better conclusion/examination given how much works does to attack every rape apologist argument that it presented, but to see something from our contemporary day and age have the certain amount of courage to not only to go as far as it did in asking those question while simultaneously having so many facets of rape culture explore, but reconstructing an entire narrative and it some aspects reclaiming the identity, female sexuality and experience of its protagonist it was makes it much better that I was expecting. Not perfect, but, good lord, we really need something like this.

[HBO] A series that has no problem showing uncomfortable realities and even characters, like the protagonist, who is sometimes irresponsible. But that is one of the great virtues of a different look towards an important reflection on sexual relations and consent. If in other visions things are white or black, this series has the virtue of showing gray nuances. The resolution, however, is quite ridiculous.

Michaela Coel sets the table for a necessary conversation about the true nature of drugs, sex, rape, identity, friendship and the complex moral and psychological issues surrounding victims of sexual abuse. Raw, brilliantly written and fulled with daring performances by the complete cast, I MAY DESTROY YOU invites audiences to talk about it and take action.
