Stars Michaela Coel (of Chewing Gum fame) and has gotten super good reviews, but I haven't caught any of it yet
Anyone been watching?

Too glam to give a damn

I watched the first two episodes and couldn't get my head around it but I genuinely think it will make a good series so I'm sticking with it.
Micaela Coel is excellent. |

I just binged the first three episodes and it's fantastic, definitely up there with Killing Eve and Fleabag in terms of "the best things on the BBC in the past decade+"... was Chewing Gum as good as this? Because if so I might have to watch, Michaela Coel is brilliant in this and her writing is great too.

...I wasn’t sure if there was a thread....
....I’ve just started to watch this...I think that I might be watching episode 5-ish atm and it’s so totally and completely absorbing... Michaela Coel is incredible as Arabella and obviously a wonderful writer as well... Last edited by Ammi; 03-12-2020 at 06:31 PM. |

...I binge watched the whole series because once you pick it up, it’s impossible to lay it down again to even pause for breath...and it’s right up there as one of the best ever watches, for me......
....the last episode was just...WOW and perfectly done, I felt... |

I watched it avidly went it came out, I was absolutely hooked it was compelling , Brilliant writing and acting.. I went on to watch Chewing gum and you can see the complete difference in writing styles..it is horrible to think that what happened to Michaelea in between writing both series inspired I may destroy you..

This Witch doesn't burn

Quote:
hen she was writing the second series of Chewing Gum, Michaela Coel took a break from work and went out for a drink with a friend. The next morning, she woke up and started having flashbacks. Michaela realised her drink had been spiked and she'd been sexually assaulted. This real-life experience became the basis for her new BBC One show, I May Destroy You, which she wrote, co-directed and stars in. "It took me two and a half years all in all to write it and I didn't do any other job," she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat. "It's been quite hard but cathartic because I'm reflecting on a dark time rather than feeling it is happening to me right now."

Yes from what i gather she was finishing the writing of Chewing gum at the studio and she went for a drink in a bar round the corner with a friend and was drugged and assaulted by two men...so it is in part semi autobiographical, which is horrible...

I can't say I am particularly gripped by this like I was with The Serpent and It's a Sin, I am still on ep 4, and still got 4 more to go but not sure if I will finish it

When I watched this I was unaware that Coel had actually been writing from experience; so I'm struggling to remember the finale under that impression. I remember finding it odd at the time but with this new information I'd guess:

Trying not to read other posts in here till I've finished it but finally found somewhere to watch this, 3 episodes in Michaela Coel is excellent. It's really grittily honest so far, I'm enjoying it
