We’re in a golden age of television at the moment, and I’ve been absolutely glued to one particular show recently.
Every episode has me on the edge of my seat. Dark and dystopian, and with more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan film, just when you think it cannot get any more outrageous, it does. It’s not the most realistic, sure, and the plot is full of holes, but my god, what a ride. Have you seen it? It’s on the BBC news channel. If only it were a work of fiction. Black Mirror meets Years And Years with a sprinkling of The Handmaid’s Tale? I’d binge that stuff for days. But, sadly, this is one show we can’t turn off. Even if we want to pretend it’s not happening (and really, for my mental health, I wish I could), it’s always playing in the background, and there’s little escape from the escapades of those running the country (into the ground). Brexit has dominated our news agenda for the past however-many years, and it’s unclear when or if it will end.
