I May Destroy You (Season 1)

I May Destroy You (2020) — watch online on iFILM. A 12-episode BBC/HBO drama written, created, and led by Michaela Coel. Arabella is a young London writer with a social media following, a debut book deal, and a life that looks assembled. One night out ends with a gap in her memory she can't account for — and a slow, fragmentary realization that she was assaulted.

What sets the series apart is what it refuses to do. There's no clean arc, no single moment of clarity, no right way to be a survivor on display. Arabella's two closest friends — Terry and Kwame — carry their own versions of violation through the season alongside her. Coel drew on her own experience writing every episode, and it shows: the dialogue cuts sideways in ways that scripted drama rarely manages.

The show took home the BAFTA for Best Drama Series in 2021 and was repeatedly named among the best television of the year by critics on both sides of the Atlantic. Stream I May Destroy You (2020) on iFILM.
