The critically acclaimed show explores its characters' power to both build and destroy.
It can be hard to wrap your head around what Michaela Coel aims to do in “I May Destroy You” without taking a step back. It requires some processing to see the goals of the intentionally heavy show. One of the major things Coel seeks to reveal is the power within us all — both the power to heal and the power to destroy.
“I feel like if you’re making television about the world we live in today, and I think in a way all television is about the world we live in today, I think it should stimulate us,” Coel told HuffPost during a Zoom interview. “When you’re triggered, you’re being stimulated, you’re being moved.
“It’s the erasure of someone’s experience in these spheres, be it television, film, literature, music, art, whatever; there’s a violence in that. That is a violent thing to do because it leads to people thinking that their experiences are not validated, which is a really kind of cognitively dissonant position to find yourself in,” Essiedu said.
It’s this idea that carries Coel through her current stage of healing and what carried her through 200 drafts of “I May Destroy You.” Coel said she wanted to feel powerful, but “had to realize I had the power to do good and bad power.”Paapa Essiedu and Weruche Opia star as Arabella's best friends Kwame and Terry.
