When young, vibrant author Arabella Essiedu (Michaela Coel) is sexually assaulted after partying with her friends, she struggles to piece together the events of the night and reclaim her life. With the help of her friends Terry and Kwame, Arabella works through the pain of her trauma while navigating her friendships, relationships, and her writing career. Moments of joy and comedy are perfectly woven into the show's serious subject matter, making the storyline well rounded and relatable. Despite only having one season, "I May Destroy You," like "Conversations With Friends," is remarkable in its ability to relay a powerful message about healing and human connection.
