Angelina's QuaranTV: HBO's 'I May Destroy You'

This week’s Angelina’s QuaranTV is dedicated to HBO’s ‘I May Destroy You.’ Michaela Coel, a brilliant British writer, actress, co-director, executive producer, (need I say more?) has created the most painfully realistic comedy-drama about life post-sexual assault. This is a 12-episode series that only has half of the episodes available for streaming at the moment, new episodes are available to stream on Wednesday’s. The pilot of the show begins with Michaela being a gifted writer who has procrastinated on a draft that she needs to be done the next day. Instead of staying in and tending to her much-needed tasks, she decides to go out partying with a friend where things get hazy because she ends up being drudged through a drink she took from a stranger. In this episode, she experiences traumatic flashbacks of the previous night and is desperate to distinguish the timeline of what occurred. With that being said, there are various factors that get in the way of her finding out the truth about what happened to her. The series covers rape, sexual assault, and navigating through the process of legally documenting said assault. This is a timely narrative for anyone who has ever experienced an undesired touch, word or look from a person. This show does a wonderful job of depicting what it is like to go through such a confusing and traumatic situation, and more importantly, what comes after. Do yourself a favor and watch this show ASAP!
