Years & Years

[unique1986]

Starts tonight 9pm
Family drama that flashes forward into the future.

Me too Loaf! Keep your lutein intake up until such point... and wear your sunglasses.

Yes,we all eat spinach and copious amounts of sprouts etc 😂 Always wear sunglasses,can't do without them and have reactalites in normal glasses. Do you take a supplement too?

I feel like the world will end in this series. There’s just no hope.

Poor Victor. That’s twice he’s been screwed over purely for revenge purposes.

I'm so disappointed, felt like a very boring Dr Who episode. Was literally waiting fleet David Tennant to appear.

Fleet??? That should read for.

Loaf, yes reactive glasses and a supplement.
Seriously donut? You were bored? It was just as ‘Holy shit!’ As ever, I thought.

My mum had macular degeneration. I didn't realise there were things you could do to lessen the risk of getting it. What is lutein?

So good, so awful. I found Steven's behaviour more horrifying because I really thought he was seeing the light. But no. And that low is... Its incomprehensible.

I'm 32 and wasn't taught about the boer war and interment camps at school, I actually only found about it in the last few years.

The up to yr9 history curriculum should really cover events like it, imo, given that many kids don't take history after that point.

How could anyone be bored ?

I watched this episode tonight. The Erstwhile places sound VERY similar to the ARCs (Adult Rehabilitation Centres) from 1970s dystopian drama 1990.

Medievalist the cells that degenerate in macular degeneration are protected from UV light by a yellow pigment, of which lutein is an essential component ( Igotthemheavyboobs even be the actual stuff). It’s been proven to halt or even improve the disease. You can take a supplement and increase dietary lutein - it’s in dark green and yellow stuff mainly but a google will show it up. Sunglasses help block the UV in the first place.
So not only a great and terrifying show, but helping eye health!

Where did the heavy boobs come from . I have never to my knowledge typed that, certainly not as one word! What is my iPad on! It should say it might even be the actual stuff.
Totally perplexed here.

I hope steves penis falls off and a dog eats it

That is all

I hope steves penis falls off and a dog eats it

Yup.

Cardibach that was the best typo in history! Made my day.

For me, that episode was much more scifi/ thriller than any previous, and really jarred after last week's focus on the doomed love story. It just felt that with no Danny and only a bit of Viktor, the heart has gone out of it, and it felt flat emotionally despite all the action. I don't care about Viv Rook nearly as much as I cared about Danny and Viktor.

Speaking of which... how could Ralph DARE to show his face at the scattering of the ashes, knowing his actions had set Danny on the path that led to his death?

I hope the Erstwhile centres don't end up serving the same purpose as the overflow camps in 'Miracle Day' (which was co-written by RTD).

I had a small amount of general knowledge of the Boer War but did not learn about it at school. DS1 (who was watching with me) learned about it as a first year History undergraduate.

the heart has gone out of it, and it felt flat emotionally despite all the action

Totally.

I thought Steve was moving Viktor out of harms' way not into it. Oh dear :-(. Couldn't Bethany reverse what he's done? Suspect she (and her techy powers) will be his downfall.

I knew vaguely about the British setting up concentration camps during the Boer War but not sure they were deliberately set up to let 'natural selection' take its course.

"dd said they weren't taught about them, or even the Boer war in school."

I was never taught anything about the Boer war at school. I've heard about the concentration camps, but only in the last few years on TV (I'm in my 40s) so I'm sure a lot of people have never heard of them and think that Nazi Germany was the first.

I am from Ireland and we covered the boer war and the camps in history in school the more I hear about the uk history curriculum the more I think you are getting the rose tinted version of uk history 🙈.

how could Ralph DARE to show his face at the scattering of the ashes, knowing his actions had set Danny on the path that led to his death? would he have linked what he'd done to Danny's death?

Steve has absolutely no redeeming features but I am also finding the other characters hard to warm to as well. Danny and Victor as others have said were the only interesting people. Good to see the older sister is taking an interest in Victor think her radiation poisoning will catch up with her soon.
Does anyone know what the red zone barricades were all about? Is it because they are high crime areas? So instead of more community interventions they just barricade then in .

Unclear also how computer sis isn't going to get rumbled helping her aunt spy. The home office paid for to have all the tech implants (a lot of this went over my head) but if it gives her the power to spy on what others are doing surely the government can also see what she's up to?

I didn't quite understand how the Red Zones suddenly appeared either.

I agree, I would have thought they would have 'bugged' her thought processes so that everything she does goes back to the Home Office?

How old is the granny now - thought she was in her 90s several episodes ago?

The future isn't looking bright for any of them, is it?

I'm 48 and have only learned about it recently.

I seem to recall JR-M talking about them on some programme not so many moons ago.

Agree that the Boer War didn't seem to feature on the history curriculum at any point (even though I seemed to spend much of my time studying the Victorians) when I was at school. Any related knowledge I have is gleaned from military history buffs in the family.
