I generally don't watch TV. Too much to do. But I chanced to watch a few episodes of Year Of... on the weekend due to friends being into it. I'm so glad I did. It took me back viscerally to my high school years - though it depicts current contemporary aesthetic/politic/world (my days were more Puberty Blues), it gripped me like it were my school years...the characters, my mates; their stories, my own. I put this down to the superb talent involved - in performance, writing and direction. Brilliant. I haven't had time to binge - thought I'd write a review first! But I'm hooked and now a couch potato.
