Years and Years

six part series by Russel T Davies about the future, from 2024 to 2034, roughly. Pretty dystopian, how Britian gets a terrible prime minister, Vivian Cook, an amazing role from Emma Thompson, creates concentration camps, Trump gets chosen again, the world is on fire.

Of course, it all ends in the usual Russel T. Davies style - gotta make 'm feel good! - as he always shies away from daring to take the final steps (Charlie Brooker from Black Mirror could teach him a thing or two) to make it truly impactful. But oh well. Nice nonetheless. Lots of Mancurian accents.
