      2019 Drama TRAILER for Years & Years: Limited Series Trailer List
      89% 65 Reviews Tomatometer 89% 250+ Ratings Audience Score An ordinary British family contends with the hopes, anxieties and joys of an uncertain future in this six-part limited series that begins in 2019 and propels the characters 15 years forward into an unstable world. The story begins as members of the Lyons clan converge for the birth of the newest family member, baby Lincoln, and an outspoken celebrity begins her transformation into a political figure whose controversial opinions will divide the nation. As the Britain of this imaginary drama is rocked by political, economic and technological advances, the family experiences everything hoped for in the future, and everything that is feared.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Years and Years scathingly critiques the present with a nihilistic projection of the future, leavening the devastating satire with a buoyant sense of humor and characters who are easy to become invested in.

      Michael S Watching this series, I found the first two episodes most interesting and then just lost interest. I found that I was bored and had no interest in what happened to this family because most of them were self-centered and egotistical, not caring about the consequences of their actions. I did make it through all six episodes, but felt that beginning with chapter 3 each episode seemed to go on for an eternity. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review David M One of the most brilliant series I've ever seen Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Susan J This was a fantastic series. I don't usually like sci-fi or near-future but this was superb. I'm still thinking about it almost 4 years later. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe 4½ is a better reflection of the somewhat unsatisfying ending, but the show shocked me more than any other show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Sensitive to contemporary politics it is heartwarming and horrifying at the same time.

      Graeme Blundell The Australian Yes, this is bleak drama, so cleverly juxtaposing social realism, a kind of sci-fi dystopianism and a caustically satirical look at populist politics but it's surprisingly funny in places... Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Emily St. James Vox Years and Years is certainly an amazing idea for a show. But the show's overreliance on sentimentality and the thinness of some of the characters are distinct weaknesses of Davies's approach. Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post "Years and Years" is one of the best shows of 2019 so far - worth going back and experiencing it in your own way. Jul 31, 2019 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher I'm obsessed with this British miniseries following one family through a dystopian 2020s. It's completely harrowing, very nearly soul-crushing. Yet I cling to its tenuous optimism and profound beauty. Rated: 5/5 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Simon Miraudo Quickflix Whenever Thompson appears, she makes the show feel most alive. Suddenly you realise why people become infatuated with these despots-in-waiting: they make for the most entertaining tele. Rated: 4/5 Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Diane Pershing Malibu Times ...brilliant, funny and very, very timely. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
