I May Destroy You eps 11 & 12 review, Culture Whisper
With every episode of I May Destroy You, you can feel a shift: a change that ripples into the future. After half an hour, the world looks different – especially for the privileged, who can hide from certain distressing realities.
Creator/writer/director Michaela Coel has floated through issues of consent, rape, trauma, race, sexuality, class, gender, periods and partying via large-as-life characters that screech with realism. Despite being distant from everything Coel tackles (yes, even partying), this critic can’t remember another series that feels so undeniably tangible.
You can feel the glass of the bar where her character, Arabella, was raped. You can hear her shuffled breaths as she approaches a panic attack. The sting of awkwardness as she sends a stupid DM.
