    [HBO & BBC] Years and Years

    Official HBO Years & Years Link

    Honestly I didn't know if this should be put under the TV/Movies section or under politics simply because of the nature of the show's content. I just finished watching Years and Years. It is a miniseries HBO & BBC put out. Very good show. It only has 6 hour long episodes. Highly recommend seeing it. When you are watching it, keep in mind the last episode of the series aired June 18, 2019 (a year ago) and it finished taping in March 2019. Highly relevant to what's going on in the world today. So relevant that it is fucking frightening. Anyone else see this show & if so what did you think? Is it frightening to you on how much future telling it did?

    Stupid people follow stupid laws. Stupid people support a system that adversely effects the poor and the old, stupid people sit there like sheep whilst a goverment enforces laws no other free nation has to suffer, and stupid people sit there making excuses for there stupidity whilst people are criminalised for the horrible crime daring to own a T.v aerial without a license, and stupid people call the ones who refuse to support this, refuse to have a T.v aerial or watch iplayer because if the bbc's terrible treatment of the poor and elderly as stupid.

    You are a fucking disgusting sheep. And you should be ashamed of your self suckling the cocks of the Lords on the BBC Trust whilst people are persicuted for wanting a freedom other western nations enjoy.

    Yes you are unfathombly stupid.

    If being gay was illigal again would you support that? Just because something is a law dosnt make it right.

    Who gets to decide that? You? What if I feel like stealing is fine? Should I just go and do that because "fuck laws"?

    Yes, people are sheep, while you are demanding broadcasts to only be for corporate interest. Television is a source of information, it’s why you are once again wrong, when saying no other free nation has it. You don’t have enough Rupert Murdoch in your life? Want everything to be dominated by corporate interest? Fan of American broadcasting?

    Apparently in nearly every other country a portion of your taxes goes to pay for public broadcast television, which everyone has to pay. At least the TV license is only chargable if you use your TV or iplayer.

    *shrug* it's worth it if they put out shit like Blue Planet every few years anyway.

    *cough* sorry for OT

    It’s funny, as an American that thinks our system is shit and pines for BBC, to watch someone demand the opposite. Brits had Rupert Murdoch first and you can have him back if you want... lol

    If it's controversial why hasn't HBO removed it?

    It’s a brilliant move... I now have to buy a bunch of shit available for streaming, so that I can view episodes they are removing. Unless there are few doing the same, since these might become collectors items, I highly doubt... this is marketing at its.......... best?

    If you can't grasp how being forced to support a company that facilitated a nonce like Jimmy Savile to enjoy a little boy buffet for decades,is morally wrong then you arn't worthy of having your opinions considered seriously.

    Hey, yet you live in a country that subjugated millions for hundreds of years yet you still live there and presumably pay taxes (or collect dole lol) Double standards much?
