After capturing the dread of our current timeline for five anxiety-inducing episodes, 'Years and Years' took the easy way out in the finale.
What we valued, and what countless critics have valued, is the unflinching way the creators took us into a near future that was simultaneously horrifying and completely realistic. Forget zombies—this was the true apocalypse, coming at you one quiet devastation at a time, its inexorable rhythms perfectly reflected recent history.
At certain protests in the aftermath of Trump, there was a common sign that read: “If Hillary had won, we’d be at brunch right now.” For a specific kind of person, that might have been true, but it quickly became a source of mockery for its naivete and privilege. For five episodes,seemed to pillory the kind of person who might parrot that slogan. But the finale could have been written by the sloganeer. It was feel-good dreck from a show that seemed to sneer righteously at feel-good dreck.
