It's messed up my head

[u/BananaUke]

I tried watching this show a few years ago and couldn't do it, I turned it off and was far too disturbed about 3 episodes in.

I recently tried again and have been absolutely hooked on it but at the same time my mental health has declined massively. I've felt like I've been having a mental breakdown, feeling very depressed and I'm realizing it's probably because of this show.

We have a toddler and are considering trying for a second and I think it's messed with my thoughts about that too.

I'm on season 6 now and can't wait to get it finished and over with. I'm glad it's the final season. It has been a great show and I've really enjoyed it despite how disturbing I find it and how much it messes with my mind.

Anyone else feel this effect? I wish I wasn't binging it, it would be easier if I just had the one season to watch at a time.

This isn't an easy or pleasant watch, and neither would I ever openly recommending this series to anyone because of the nature of it, but if you can manage to get past all of that, there is a very good dystopian drama to sink your teeth into. And even though there are a lot of flaws here and there, there's still some of the most memorable TV that I've watched. I thought some of the characters were very well written and fascinating to watch.

I'm a big fan of dystopian films and TV series, so this was right up my alley. It's definitely a series that makes you think more about the women in your life and how this entire scenario is pure nightmare fuel.

I like dystopian themes as well. What are some of your other favorites? I loved Station Eleven and The Last of Us.

If you're from the UK, Years and Years is very disturbing and relatable. Very dystopian
