Sophie Gilbert from The Atlantic writes, “The anxious thrill of watching Years and Years comes not only from seeing the future unfurl in front of you, but also from watching how it ripples through the lives of this very modern, delightfully fractious family.”
Vox’s Emily St. James says, “Years and Years is certainly an amazing idea for a show. But the show’s overreliance on sentimentality and the thinness of some of the characters are distinct weaknesses of Davies’s approach.”
