[Warning: The following contains spoilers for Monday's episode I May Destroy You. Read at your own risk!]This show keeps getting better with every episode, doesn't it? Those of us who have been keeping up with Michaela Coel's genre-shattering and groundbreaking dark comedy I May Destroy Youare by now accustomed to having our perspective turned upside down as we watch its lead characters Arabella (Coel), Terry (Weruche Opia), and Kwame (Paapa Essiedu) reckon with varying dimensions of sexual assault.

Tackling issues such as sexual consent, gender, race, class, drugs, victim shaming and social media obsession with the sort of raw, unflinching, angry, often hilarious, at times deeply upsetting and frequently hedonistic honesty unseen on TV before, I May Destroy You has become one of the summer's must-watch events. The 12-part BBC/HBO drama has also further underlined Michaela Coel — creator, writer, co-director, showrunner and lead star — as one of the most exciting young creatives working today.

Michaela Coel’s new show I May Destroy You, which premiered on BBC One and HBO Max on June 7, is an unflinching tale of the ongoing violence Black women are subject to, as well as its lasting impact.The show centres Arabella, a young Black working class writer from Hackney in east London, who, upon the success of her self-published memoir Chronicles of a Fed-Up Millennial, is thrust into the world of traditional publishing, where she is surrounded by those unlike the people in her close circle – rich, white and powerful. Coel brings a fresh perspective to the conversation surrounding the way women are sexually exploited, specifically the unique ways Black women experience both sexual violence as well as physical and emotional abuse.
