Except it did…įrom that moment on, Arabella is plunged into a noir-like search for the truth. It couldn’t have happened to her? Bright, fiery Arabella? No. A trip to the police and the subsequent swabs and tests confirm it. The gnawing knot in the pit of Arabella’s stomach turns into panic – she was raped in that cubicle. Where did she get it from? And what happened to her phone? What’s happening with all of these little flashbacks she has of a toilet cubicle, and a man standing over her? Why did she withdraw money from a cashpoint that wasn’t on her way home? A bump and graze on her forehead still bleeds. A gnawing knot in the pit of Arabella’s stomach tells her something isn’t right. The morning after the night before, they’re both suffering – they drank too much, they stagger around and they lament the shots that they drank. They drink, they take drugs, they party, they laugh and they cry together, and their friendship and life feels so real. Together with best friend Terry (Weruche Opia), they blaze a trail around London and, occasionally in Italy. She is vibrant, funny, kinetic, fun-loving and hedonistic.
#I may destroy you season 2 series#
The series starts with Arabella, a social media star who’s written a much-talked-about book and is on the way to becoming a brilliant novelist. Underpinning it all is the creative tsunami that is Michaela Coel.Īlready an acclaimed actress thanks to Chewing Gum and Black Earth Rising, I May Destroy You is an intensely personal story for Coel, and she draws upon on her own experiences of trauma and sexual assault to give this 12-part series a rage, a rawness and an authenticity that’s often missing in other stories that attempt to portray sexual assault and rape. And in many ways, it’s a classic noir story, expertly and dazzlingly updated for the modern age. It’s not a conventional crime story per se, but in some ways it is. I May Destroy You ticks all of these boxes and more, but doesn’t follow a blueprint. For the longest time, traditional cops-and-robbers dramas have followed well-worn blueprints have been a great vehicle in which to explore themes of human frailty, redemption and all the rest of it. Thank you so much Michaela, you're making big waves.That’s the question we constantly ask ourselves here at The Killing Times. To dislike this show, is to dislike the truth. In order to move forward, we must listen to the stories of others and learn from them. We must see ourselves in both the victims and the villains, because you never know what side you may end up on we must LEARN. The experiences highlighted are what many of us go through and the world needs to see it - we must see it. There are lessons here that need to be learnt this show is the truth. I have learnt so much from this show and will recommend it to everyone I love. The throwback in Theo's segment was much appreciated nostalgia, although again, it was raw but needed. The acting in this show was fantastic as a Londoner, I love how true this show felt to reality. Michaela Coel is nothing short from phenomenal. It was excellently executed and I felt every single emotion. I binge watched the whole season although it was not an 'easy' watch per say - it was raw and extremely needed.
