What if Black Mirror did This Is Us? What if your kid wanted to upload themselves to their dang phone? What if a Lib Dem wrote one of the worst TV dramas to ever exist? All of this, and more, in the TF review of Years and Years (episodes 1 and 2). We hope it doesn't count as a spoiler alert to say it is bad.

Just casually dropping "second Russian revolution happened off screen, soviets are back".

Oh shit. I am the phone. This is what phones are going to be from now on.

Quite funny seeing Russel T indicated. Or horrifying?

Harold Duggan

I also think you guys very much miss the point that just because something is shown to be bad in the shows future, doesn't mean it wasn't awful at the time...

CAE

Well, it certainly was the guy after Biden who did the fascist dystopia.

Milo said some very funny things looking from 2026 lol

Dave Dorricott

I actually really liked Years and Years. I also liked Sherlock but didn't disagree with a single criticism Hbomberguy made of it so I'm ready to hear this show slated.

Been wondering if TrashFuture or WellTheresYourProblem is going to do a deep dive on the subway bridge disaster that just happened in Mexico and resulted in a mass casualty event. Fk'n bonkers tragedy that has hints of both a business and engineering disaster.

Not to be that guy but what’s the status on the shirts?

John Harwood

This is way too much brain damage...seriously

Reece Lawrence

It's a Sin is a much better RTD joint, probably because it came from a much more personal place.

Dave Clarke

https://youtu.be/0xI_oqv3Eyo was compelled to look it up and now I want everyone to see it. Really is weird to hear "remember in 2008 when politics was boring, I miss those days" said completely earnestly

I think this is the first time I've disagreed with TF on a piece of media. Not that the criticisms are wrong, they're absolutely correct, but there's something about how RTD writes that really appeals to me regardless. Maybe it's because I got used to it as a kid with Doctor Who and now have nostalgia.

Great episode, but I really do feel like every (stylistic) reason you guys hate it is somehow a reason I like it

MagicSalmon

There was nowhere near enough of the 'bonus' sexy voice in this. I don't contribute via Patreon for only moderately sexy critiques of centrist TV!

Ash Rose

25 seconds in and Riley recapitulates Years and Years by having a point that no listener can possibly identify without being told by the hosts, and then getting confused by what he meant too

Gryphoneer

if alice hated these two episodes, she's gonna *loathe* the rest. the horseshoe theory is coming in hard and fast in those.

Jessica

Surely a family WhatsApp group where you talk politics all day isn't that unusual? (Note: I have not watched Years and Years)

You guys where in rare form for this one.

Komodo Dad

Something about Riley reading these excerpts from shows and books out loud in such a matter-of-factly manner makes me hate the things even MORE than I normally would. Whether its Years & Years or one of the MP books. It just cuts through to the terrible so hard and fast.

rory

dear god this sounds astonishingly bad, thank u for inflicting this upon urselves for our amusement

Astrid Reynolds

this reminded me of a BBC radio drama that came out in 2018, called 'first world problems' ( still dont know why its called that). like years and years its a powerfully centrist story of an extended upper middle class family in greater Manchester living through the near future, but focuses on a civil war destroying the UK. it seemed to be attemping a totally credible and realistic, but just felt deeply bizzare to me. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b5stvj

"Habbo TERF" is the best thing I have heard all year so far

FBH

Having the Tory vote split into another UKIP would be great actually.

doorhanger93 .

Out of nowhere old Rusty fucking called the Ukraine thing just a year early, like Putin is really trying to prove the people with the worst politics completely right on this one
