More Critic Reviews for I May Destroy You Season 1 All Critics (54) | Top Critics (27) | Fresh (52) | Rotten (2) I May Destroy You, though, is fantastic, in ways that both do and do not have anything to do with its multivalent treatment of rape and trauma. Jun 22, 2020 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic I May Destroy You is often exhilarating. Its particular freshness makes me feel, sometimes, as I did about Queer As Folk when it came out (more than 20 years ago now). Jun 10, 2020 | Full Review… Rachel Cooke New Statesman Top Critic "I May Destroy You" is moving and, despite the subject matter, at times very funny. It should inspire plenty of conversation about very sensitive subject matter with ever-increasing complexities. Jun 8, 2020 | Rating: A | Full Review… Tambay Obenson indieWire Top Critic A writer less volcanically talented than Coel might struggle to weave one of these themes into a 12-part series; that she's able to explore so many different layers of power while creating such a compulsively watchable show is striking. Jun 8, 2020 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic It's tricky to call an actor mesmerizing, for fear of making her power seem magical rather than the result of craft. But Coel here is magnetic and memorable, for sure, and you won't be able to take your eyes off her. Jun 7, 2020 | Full Review… Linda Holmes NPR Top Critic "I May Destroy You" is fascinating TV, taking a dark subject and turning it every which way. It can be shocking, it can be fun (which is also somewhat shocking), it can hurt and maybe even heal. No matter what, it's an unsettling revelation. Jun 5, 2020 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Tom Long Detroit News Top Critic Four episodes into the season and it's one of the most powerful depictions of sexual assault I've ever seen. Jul 2, 2020 | Full Review… Emma Baty Cosmopolitan Coel's series is urgent and timely and is perfectly filtered through the hyperfocus of the performative millennial gaze. It is tough to watch, but also funny and touching and beautiful. Jun 29, 2020 | Full Review… Cate Young The Muse/Jezebel The series is a tour de force by British actress Michaela Coel. Jun 26, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) A vital story -- and also somewhat anarchic and scattered -- about how to live with freedom even with the existence of predators. [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 16, 2020 | Full Review… Hernán Ferreirós La Nación (Argentina) It's testimony to the sheer talent of Coel that this is wild and different and interesting. You could watch her doing almost anything, for a start, with her shock of silver-pink hair and that elastic heart-shaped face. Jun 15, 2020 | Full Review… Camilla Long Sunday Times (UK) Coel has tackled so many subjects around which our generalised prejudices congregate... via the blitherings of mindfulness, the joys of sex and the horrors of sudden distrust, and done it with wit and several nods to the power of friendship. Jun 15, 2020 | Full Review… Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) View All Critic Reviews (54) Audience Reviews for I May Destroy You: Season 1 4d ago This is very well made. The pilot is a little slow but stick with it and it really sings. T D 5d ago Sexual Assault and Dark Humour do not go together. Simples Chris S Jun 27, 2020 half way through and will definitely come back and finish the series. whew. it is needed. it is necessary. it made me squirm and want to turn it off as it triggered memories of my own abuse. this series deals with such heavy, life destroying subject matter yet is so gleeful and full of life. i looove the friendship between Terry and Arabella. It is problematic, rich and true. That scene in episode 1 where Terry puts Arabella to bed and asks "where is your head scarf?" maaaaan. yes, just yes. it's a series that both angers me and draws me in.. just the fact that we are already part of the most vulnerable due to our black skin and we keep putting ourselves in even more vulnerable positions to be preyed upon and taken advantage of. UGH. definitely had flashbacks to my horrible mistakes of old all in the name of but i'm having a good tiiiime. we need to do better in protecting ourselves. and recognizing red flag behaviour and putting a stop to it immediately. the fetishizing of Arabella by the men she meets. gross. the way she just flings herself into bed with them. i just want to scream baby noooo but she's finding herself though. finding her strength. i wish that for every person who sees themselves in this series. my point o Jun 27, 2020 Amazingly well acted. Timothy H Jun 26, 2020 BARF! Horrible, bad acting, bad script, just plain crappy. Michael P Jun 26, 2020 Trying too hard to be cool and shocking. Dave V Jun 24, 2020 Unlike most TV out there - this is REAL life. Funny, shocking, mesmerizing, sickening at times but also heartfelt and wonderful. Made me both nostalgic for my youth and also so glad those difficult insane days are behind me. London feels like the London I know in this show. One of the best shows in years. Iago A Jun 18, 2020 All men (and women) should watch this, it doesn't fall into melodrana and is just..on point and modern. M P Jun 16, 2020 It explores sexual harrasment in a very mature way i've never seen before in a series and all that with a great performance from Michaela Coel. And it's also very relatable, funny & clever. Cherry R Jun 13, 2020 A very relatable show...worth everyone's watch..the characters are fresh and entertaining Hempstone S See all Audience reviews News & Features 200 Erotic Movies Coming attractions for you 2020's Most Anticipated Movies What and when to watch Video Game Movies Ranked 43 ranked worst to best Best Netflix Series and Shows What to watch right now More News & Features TOP HEADLINES All Upcoming Disney Movies: New Disney Live-Action, Animation, Pixar, Marvel, and More – Rotten Tomatoes The Best Quibi Shows to Stream Now – Rotten Tomatoes The 64 Most Anticipated Movies of 2020 – Rotten Tomatoes Sundance 2020 Movie Scorecard – Rotten Tomatoes Everything We Know About The Lord of the Rings Amazon Series – Rotten Tomatoes 2019 Rotten Movies We Love – Rotten Tomatoes The 50 Most Anticipated Movies of 2021 – Rotten Tomatoes 100 Fresh Movies You Can Watch for Free Online Right Now – Rotten Tomatoes More Headlines View All Results Go back More trailers
