The series Years and Years arrives on France TV

Years and Years was until now visible in France on Canal+. This 100% British series, orchestrated by showrunner Russell T. Davis (Dr Who) will be visible for free in streaming on the france.tv platform from Tuesday October 29, and broadcast on Wednesday November 6 on France 2 at 10:45 p.m. A highly charged anticipation story surrounding the accession to power of a nightmare Prime Minister, Emma Thompson is awesome against a backdrop of technological and societal developments.

Such an atmosphere could evoke a reheated Black Mirrorbut it is the performance of the actress of Primary Colors (1998), Nanny McPhee (2005) or My Lady (2017) which ends up arousing our curiosity.
