I May Destroy You:

why Michaela Coel's drama is a true TV gamechanger

Novelistic and uncompromising,

the Chewing Gum creator’s series about the legacy of sexual assault

feels like an ambitious new high point for the small screen

I May Destroy You

video    Official Trailer    HBO    20 July 2020

A fearless, frank and provocative half-hour series

exploring the question of sexual consent and where,

in the new landscape of dating and relationships,

the distinction between liberation and exploitation lies.

Set in London, where gratification is only an app away,

the story centers on Arabella (Coel), a carefree,

self-assured Londoner with a group of great friends,

a boyfriend in Italy, and a burgeoning writing career.

But when her drink is spiked with a date-rape drug,

she must question and rebuild every element of her life.
