It's not only powerful to see an artist like Coel bravely delve into such moral minefields, but to honor the fact that she makes space for other Black voices - those that aren't her own - to speak, too.

It's sometimes hard to get a grip on a central thread inside the chaos, but Coel's arresting performance and the whole thing's dynamism make it an exciting, if unstable, watch.

Smartly, swifly, and without lingering rancour, Coel picks apart the media industry, with its clueless, well-intentioned closed-ranks of posh white privilege.
June 07, 2020
Beautifully written by Coel and amazingly acted by the entire cast, I May Destroy You is a series that everyone should take the time to watch.

"I May Destroy You" is fascinating TV, taking a dark subject and turning it every which way. It can be shocking, it can be fun (which is also somewhat shocking), it can hurt and maybe even heal. No matter what, it's an unsettling revelation.

It's defiant, provocative, and overall, superb. [Full Review in Spanish]

Coel's a great talent - no doubt about that - but this can be an aggravating, unfocused sprawl at times. The power and horror of Arabella's ordeal is the unintended casualty.

A writer less volcanically talented than Coel might struggle to weave one of these themes into a 12-part series; that she's able to explore so many different layers of power while creating such a compulsively watchable show is striking.

I May Destroy You does not fail to display the gas lighting, the nervous ticks, and the defense mechanisms. The show will be as honest as it can be, and it may cause an exploratory discomfort.

It's tricky to call an actor mesmerizing, for fear of making her power seem magical rather than the result of craft. But Coel here is magnetic and memorable, for sure, and you won't be able to take your eyes off her.
June 08, 2020
Coel is an extraordinary talent... I May Destroy You is the artist ascending to the next level by mixing comedy and pain together in a strange, harrowing, and vitalizing soup.

"I May Destroy You" is moving and, despite the subject matter, at times very funny. It should inspire plenty of conversation about very sensitive subject matter with ever-increasing complexities.
