Ótima série, cada episódio é um impacto difrente, aquele final é perfeito, não tem nada tão atual quanto essa série

This show is excellent. The acting is superb, the storyline is gripping and as always Michaela goes places where no other show dares to go.

Michaela Coel shows with I May Destroy You the future of the television. Quality timing, and progression.

After watching sex in the city, girls, big little lies, and insecure, I May Destroy You may be better, sexier, relevant, cosmopolitan, woke, and the most well-shot/acted and directed project of them all.

Amazing! I cannot thank this show enough for just moving me in a way that I haven’t felt from a show before. I ended each episode needing more and when the next one came I was hooked on that endless cycle. The acting is great, story is great,Amazing!

It is groundbreaking in certain aspects tackling sexuality, consensual sex, rape (both male-female, male-male). There are a number of great scenes/great moments however a small number of good episodes/storylines. The protagonist in the show is billed as a witty, cutting edge millenial writer yet often comes across as a complete airhead who sabotages her career in ways no adult would ever do. This inconsistency carries over in other ways when a heavy drama scene suddenly has corny jokes in there for no reason other than to indulge the showrunner. Ultimately, the show is poorly structured, all over the place and totally unclear in it's vision. If your bar for television is low and the topical themes of rape, et cetera are of huge interest to you then you should consider watching.… Expand

Garbage. Acting is great, but what are these storylines? I was intrigued during episode 1. Episode 3 is all about drugs and sex. Where's the depth ? Amazing storytelling ? Amazing characters ?

Michaela Cole is pure talent. As the star, writer and director of some of the episodes she is beyond brilliant. One of the best shows on HBO Max. Loved every episode.

Peak television ,a show that can only come once in a million. Nothing this powerful can truly be fiction which makes it more heartbreaking but equally cathartic for those too close to the material like myself. Arabella is such a complexPeak television ,a show that can only come once in a million. Nothing this powerful can truly be fiction which makes it more heartbreaking but equally cathartic for those too close to the material like myself. Arabella is such a complex difficult character who takes her trauma as something to be defeated instead of addressed. Never have i seen survivor trauma this honest. I recommend this show to nearly every one.… Expand
