Variety
“Among the most emotionally involving, and best, series to air so far this year.”
The Globe and Mail
What makes the show ‘Years and Years‘ exceptional, despite its undercurrent of controversy, is its humor, sharp wit, and tender moments.
The Daily Beast
Should Davies’ narrative eventually lean towards more soothing genres, what sets it apart is an exceptional ensemble cast, led by Kinnear, Tovey, and Miller. This trio gives the Lyons family a charm that makes them endearing, even during their most challenging moments.
The Guardian
The rhythm sets the stage for tension, as very few moments pass without a distressing incident or its aftermath being experienced. There’s little respite for relaxation.”
“The pacing creates tension right from the start, with hardly any scenes that don’t involve a troubling event or its repercussions. There’s scarcely an opportunity to unwind.
The Atlantic
Watching Years and Years offers a thrilling sense of unease, as you’re drawn into the future and witness its impact on a contemporary, lively family that’s filled with tension.
Years and Years is streaming on Netflix now.
