IMDb Pride Month Picks: Must-See LGBTQ+ Movies and TV Shows5 of 32
"I May Destroy You" | Available to Stream on HBO Max
Plot: The question of sexual consent in contemporary life and how, in the new landscape of dating and relationships, we make the distinction between liberation and exploitation.
Our Take: The topic of sexual assualt is a tough sell as entertainment, but "I May Destroy You" captivated me in a way that other great shows of late somehow couldn't. It's a jolt of creative energy, and I never anticipated which direction the story would go from week to week. Creator/star Michaela Coel's voice is confrontational, funny, and insightful, but this never once feels like the kind of show "you really should watch" because it's on President Barack Obama's favorites list. — Arno
