Michaela Coel's "I May Destroy You"

This week, Morgan and Gavia discuss the most critically acclaimed show of 2020, Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You. Coel co-directs, writes, and stars in this rumination on trauma and consent. Topics include the show's masterful command of tone, its digressive storytelling technique and radical approach to telling a story about rape, racism in the British film and television industry, and much more.
