I May Destroy You: A Review By Phoebe Lupton
Content warning: rape, sexual assault, trauma I am not one to jump on a bandwagon. Almost every time I try, I end up not enjoying the ride. When, many years ago, I tried to watch an episode of The Bachelor, it made me carsick. And just one look at the long, windy, bloody road through The Handmaid’s Tale forced me to run as far as I could in the opposite direction. Arguably, the television bandwagon of the year thus far has been British actress and writer Michaela Coel’s new show I May Destroy You. This time, I wanted to jump on it as fast as possible (made difficult by the fact that it aired in Australia a good three months after airing in the United Kingdom and United States). To stretch a metaphor as far as it can possibly go, I didn’t want to get off.
