This year, due to working from home for a long time, I have watched (touching fish) a lot of popular dramas more than in previous years. As far as the British dramas are concerned, "Normal People" and "I Can Destroy You" are my two favorites so far. It may be because of living in London in recent years, I like the latter more than the hot former. It even makes the hit "London Life" seem more superficial and too hypocritical.
If you want to fully understand the inner workings of the city of London, as well as the inner thoughts of all kinds of people living and working in London, then "I Can Destroy You" will be the most suitable British drama this year. In the show, the camera travels through well-known areas of London - from Soho to Camden's riotous nightlife, deep into Hackney's African-American community to talk about racial issues, and then skim over the glossy City to talk about the city's established The double-edged sword of the beneficiary.
The story of the entire play is based on the real experience of Michaela Coel. The story revolves around Arabella's sexual assault experience starring Michaela Coel. Due to the long-term intake of a large amount of xx, she has been unable to distinguish whether the picture in her mind really happened. The film will frequently enter and exit Arabella's subconscious, repeatedly flashing back to the memory of the sexual assault. The audience will follow her daily life and experience her post-traumatic effects firsthand. When the audience's perspective fully enters Arabella, in the second half of the episode, they will be shocked by some sudden reversals.
"London Living" and "I Can" both deal with the so-called "millennial generation" of new emotional relationships. Including "Normal People", these dramas are more or less involved in the discussion of the so-called YP culture (Tinder and Grindr social). Compared with the naughty pure love of "London Life" and the soft-erotic "Pride and Prejudice" of "Normal People", "I Can" is more of a criticism of human nature, psychology and society. It is more in line with modern aesthetics and reflects on the social level from the spirit.
In a modern city like London where multiple cultures coexist, there are no so-called "bad guys", which is one of the themes that the show wants to express. It's just that different people's different political opinions, gender choices, racial and religious origins, social status, and occupational areas allow them to make the "most appropriate" choices within their respective cognitions or powers. Even Arabella in the play did a lot of "deviant" or "politically incorrect" things and hurt others. In this year of battling criminals, who she can trust and rely on in this city, the standard of right and wrong has become a huge question mark in this complex network of relationships.
"I Can Destroy You" has shocked the entire British television community since it was broadcast on the BBC. Subsequently, the major British media are scrambling to report the new drama. A large number of interviews found the playwright Michaela Coel herself, and it also made her more famous after "Chewing Gum", much like "London Life" made Phoebe Waller-Bridge famous.
