Season one episodes will air on Sundays at 10:30pm ET/PT and will finish up its 12 episode run on August 24th. HBO’s set to launch the new half-hour series I May Destroy You on June 7, 2020. It's brilliant and has left me excited for Coel's next project.Michaela Cole in ‘I May Destroy You’ (Photograph by Laura Radford/HBO) It's about consent, the shades of grey, the acceptance/lack of it, how we understand it and how it's interpreted by the aggressor and victim.How sexual assault survivors cope with the aftermath and then have to exist with daily life. They didn't understand that it's not meant to be a whodunnit or sanitised portrayal of sexual assault according to how society expects victims to behave. I can only say that those people appear to have completely missed the story being told.
I'm confused by the lower scores claiming it should be a thriller or that the characters are one dimensional when we see the depth in their nuanced facial expressions and fleeting moments of raw honesty between friends. yes, people get wasted, do drugs and shock, horror they talk to their friends when on the loo. better yet don't compare it to anything at all. It's witty and real, covers some of the darker life scenes that aren't ordinarily placed on the screen. It's not a sitcom or light comedy, it's devastating at times, yet humorous.
It's not meant to be girlfriends or SATC and it doesn't pretend to be. Some hard hitting scenes mixed in with Michaela Coel style dark humour. Loved it! As a young British woman from London it's very relatable, from language to interactions.
