.keeneTV on YearsAndYears' latest episode, which was absolutely devastating and deserves your attention.
and are caught up through Episode 4, let me first give you an e-hug. We all need it.can be a tough show, but this episode was particularly brutal. Below we dive into specifics, so:has been so great at doing is making safe westerners feel completely and totally unsafe. It does this by putting mostly white, middle-class individuals through the ringer of totally plausible world events, like banking collapses or, in this latest episode, a refugee crisis.
Danny and Viktor are on a boat that is populated entirely with people of color. No one speaks the same language, and though their points of origin are all different, they share the same longing for freedom. Danny taking his shoes off just before they board is, in hindsight, one of the most poignant moments in the whole episode. He’s still clinging to some sense of decency instead of realizing that he’s looking death straight in the face.
In this moment I was confronted, again, by my own privilege, bias and presumptions that Danny would survive this. He’s a white male lead in a limited series about a close-knit family. But it is Viktor who survives. Danny made a statement early in the episode regarding their plans: “even if I have to commander a yacht to get us across the channel,” that haunts this moment. He didn’t commander anything, he made a back alley deal where he was nearly humiliated as his protestations were ignored.
