Season 1
Years and Years
Years and Years scathingly critiques the present with a nihilistic projection of the future, leavening the devastating satire with a buoyant sense of humor and characters who are easy to become invested in.

Dec 19, 2021Maybe 4½ is a better reflection of the somewhat unsatisfying ending, but the show shocked me more than any other show.
-
Oct 19, 2021Sensitive to contemporary politics it is heartwarming and horrifying at the same time.
-
Sep 18, 2021Brilliant, must watch
-
Jun 08, 2021One of the best limited series that I had been watched in last years. The plot is so atual and the web of relationships, damn... fit like a glove with nowadays scenario. I have to admit that I struggled with some situations presented to us; several time the story pushed me back to reflect. The powerful of script is the responsible to cause this sort of feelings. However, follow this amazing family was a pleasure. For sure you'll find a little piece of you inside of the astonishing characters that was sad to say goodbye.

May 11, 2021Impressive. That sums it up.

Jan 31, 2021Debe ser probablemente la mejor miniserie de HBO, se siente como una secuela de películas, el argumento es muy original y en uno de los puntos de la serie donde pasa algo importante realmente te impacta y te hace sentir como los personajes, recomendadísima.

Sep 13, 2020A very realistic and therefore terrifying cautionary tale of where we might be going in the near future. Or, Black Mirror done right.
-
Aug 03, 2020Unnerving. Predictions of the future were easily within the realm of the possible.
-
Aug 01, 2020There were some people I would have liked to get some comeuppance but overall it was an incredible ride. Its a very darkly funny show, there were moments I actually cried but I enjoyed myself thoroughly throughout.

May 01, 2020It is our future, and it is really scary.
