Netflix Adds Years and Years, Hailed as Perfect for Black Mirror Fans

Netflix has added the acclaimed BBC/HBO limited series 'Years and Years' to its platform, generating renewed interest among fans of dystopian dramas like Black Mirror. The series, created by Russell T. Davies and starring Emma Thompson, Rory Kinnear, Russell Tovey, and Jessica Hynes, follows an ordinary British family as they navigate political, economic, and technological upheaval over 15 years. Praised for its intelligence and emotional depth, 'Years and Years' holds an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is noted for its sharp commentary on contemporary anxieties, particularly regarding technology's impact on society. Critics and viewers alike have described it as a thought-provoking cautionary tale, with some calling it 'Black Mirror done right.' The show's addition to Netflix offers a new audience the chance to experience its timely exploration of an uncertain future. While most reviews are positive, a few critics found it chaotic or more focused on soap opera elements than pure dystopia.
