Release
[edit]The series premiered on 8 June 2020 on BBC One in the United Kingdom.[3] The first episode had already premiered in advance on 7 June 2020 on HBO in the United States.[16]
Production
[edit]Coel stated in a lecture at the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe that she had been sexually assaulted while writing Chewing Gum, and that the experience provided inspiration for the series.[17]
Originally titled January 22nd, the series is produced by Coel's production company, FALKNA Productions. It is executive produced by Coel, Phil Clarke, Roberto Troni, and Jo McClellan for BBC One.[18] Coel is also co-director and writer for I May Destroy You. She turned down a $1 million (£800,000) offer from Netflix for the show because the deal would have taken full rights ownership away from the creator.[19]
Critical response
[edit]The show holds an average score of 86 out of 100 based on reviews from 25 critics on review aggregator Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim".[20] On Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 72 reviews are positive, with an average score of 8.55/10. The website's critical consensus is, "I May Destroy You is at once brave and delicate, untangling the trauma of sexual assault with dark humor and moments of deep discomfort all held together on the strength of Michaela Coel's undeniable talent."[21]
Writing for The New York Times, critic Mike Hale called the series "touching and quietly hilarious." He praised Coel and the show's willingness to push boundaries.[22] In her review for Time, critic Judy Berman noted the show's unique and complex telling of a story centred on sexual assault after the Me Too movement.[16]
French newspaper Le Monde includes I May Destroy You in its Top 10 of the best 2020 TV shows.[23]

Years active | 1989-present |

Sean Michaels (born February 20, 1958) is the stage name of an American pornographic actor, model, director and trade union leader. Known for his portrayal of suave and professional men, Michaels is credited with creating more opportunities to black performers in the adult industry.
In 2002, AVN ranked him 14th on their list of The Top 50 Porn Stars of All Time.[2] He has also been inducted into the AVN, NightMoves, and XRCO Halls of Fame. As of 2018, Michaels has appeared in over 7000 scenes.
Early life
[edit]Michaels was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.[3] He attended Boys and Girls High School, the oldest public high school in Brooklyn.[4][5] After moving to the West Coast, he worked as a nurse for an urgent care facility in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles.[6]
Career
[edit]Michaels started out in the adult industry as a nude model.[6] Dissatisfied with the portrayal of black men in porn, he began performing in adult films in 1989.[7] Michaels gained recognition after appearing in John Leslie's 1990 film Oh What A Night.[8] In 1996, he started Sean Michaels Productions, which was changed to Sean Michaels International the following year when Anabolic Video began handling its distribution.
In 2003, Michaels was issued a cease and desist order by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on the use of his name due to the similarity it had to WWE wrestler Shawn Michaels. Michaels name was already registered as a trademark, while Shawn Michaels had not registered his moniker.[9]
Along with Lisa Ann and Nikki Benz, Michaels hosted the XRCO Awards in April 2010.[10] In 2018, he performed in his first bisexual scene for Kick Ass Pictures.[3] In regards to the scene, Michaels commented, "I feel strongly about doing the things you want to do in life. Cuckold fans have been asking me for years to do bi scenes, and I'm happy to be making this move. I believe it's important for people to grow sexually in any way they choose."
Advocacy and impact
[edit][I refused to] work with women who were not healthy...and wanted me to say things that I would regret today if I did...And, you know, some [performers] are maybe not educated to the fact of what impact this has on their career...or just their race.
Michaels has refused to use language or perform acts in scenes that negatively stereotype black men.[6] He has also spoken out against the aggressive treatment of women in porn, arguing that actors, directors, and producers should put more emphasis on a woman's pleasure.[6] In 2000, he received the Positive Image Award from the Free Speech Coalition, which is awarded to "performers that have helped to dispel negative stereotypes and misconceptions connected to work in the adult industry."[11][12]
In 2016, Micheals was elected President of the Adult Performers Actors Guild (APAG).[13][14] As President, he announced the APAG would push to raise the legal age to perform in adult films from 18 to 21, commenting that "it's 21 years old to drink, so you should have to be 21 to do porn."[14]
In her book A Taste for Brown Sugar: Black Women in Pornography, women's studies scholar Mireille Miller-Young notes how Michaels's portrayal of "suave and professional" characters in his films has challenged the stereotyping of black men as "sexual beasts" in pornography and expanded opportunities for black performers.[15] Violet Blue shares a similar sentiment in The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos, calling Michaels a "major force in changing the face and attitudes of the adult industry towards black performers."[5] Blue concluded by dubbing him "the most famous black man to ever appear in porn."[5]
Personal life
[edit]Family has always been supportive. Mother used to do craft services for his early shoots and sister handled sales for his distribution.

I Hate Suzie is a British dark comedy drama streaming television series created by Lucy Prebble and Billie Piper. It was produced by Bad Wolf in association with Sky Studios, with Prebble serving as showrunner. All episodes were written by Prebble and most were directed by Georgi Banks-Davies.
The show marks the third collaboration between Prebble and Piper, who previously worked together on Secret Diary of a Call Girl (2007–11) and The Effect (2012). I Hate Suzie follows the life of actress Suzie Pickles (Piper) whose life is thrown into turmoil when her phone is hacked and compromising photographs of her are leaked. Each episode is focused on "one of the eight stages of trauma" that Suzie experiences, a take on the five stages of grief.
I Hate Suzie premiered on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV on 27 August 2020. It made its US debut on HBO Max on 19 November. It received critical acclaim from television critics for its writing, directing, and Piper's performance. It was recognized by several publications as one of the best television programs of the year.
Premise
[edit]Suzie Pickles (Piper) is a former teenage pop star and television actress. After her phone is hacked and compromising photos of her are leaked, Suzie struggles to keep her marriage to Cob (Daniel Ings) together and protect her son Frank (Matthew Jordan-Caws). Meanwhile, Naomi (Leila Farzad), Suzie's manager and friend, attempts to keep her career afloat.
Cast and characters
[edit]- Billie Piper as Suzie Pickles
- Leila Farzad as Naomi Jones
- Daniel Ings as Cob Betterton
- Nathaniel Martello-White as Carter Vaughan
- Matthew Jordan-Caws as Frank
Development and production
[edit]We're really keen on honestly portraying a woman and everything that comes with that. The amount of guises and heads you have to have as a woman to attend work, to attend to being a mother, to attend to being a sexual being... So much so that there is a point where you don't even recognize yourself anymore. It's that sort of identity crisis. Those are the things that we felt determined to talk about.
Conception
[edit]Following their collaboration on Secret Diary of a Call Girl and The Effect, Prebble and Piper developed a close friendship. Piper expressed interest to Prebble in working together on another project.[1] The inspiration for the story came from emails between the two, who would write to each other about their struggles with facing Prebble came up with the idea for a story centered around a phone hack.[1] She structured the story around an idea of "eight stages of trauma or grief", a take on the five stages of grief, with each episode focusing on one of the stages.[1] Each episode was created to have the feel of a standalone mini-film.[1]
Casting
[edit]Like on her On 30 September 2019, it was announced that Leila Farzad, Daniel Ings, and Nathaniel Martello-White had joined the cast. It was
Filming
[edit]Interior scenes for I Hate Suzie were mostly filmed at Bad Wolf Studios in Cardiff, South Wales. Some exterior scenes were shot on-location at Park Avenue and Mimms Hall Road in the town Potters Bar, Hertfordshire.[2] For the episode "Denial", scenes featuring Suzie and Naomi at a sci-fi convention were filmed at the ExCeL London during the MCM London Comic Con in October 2019.[3]
Music
[edit]The musical score to I Hate Suzie was composed by Johnny Lloyd and Nathan Coen, who previously worked with Piper on her directorial debut Rare Beasts.[4] "Before we even knew what the series was gonna look like, we were already kind of pulling together ideas and sending them to Lucy [Prebble] while she was writing it," Coen said.[4] Lloyd described the process of scoring as "challenging" to create continuity and embody different emotions each episode.[4]

Broadcast and reception
[edit]Ratings
[edit]The premiere episode "Shock" received an overnight rating of 95,000 viewers across two screenings.[8] After seven days, the ratings rose to 532,000.[9] Twenty-eight days later, the episode's ratings rose to a total of 987,000 viewers, including 41,000 watching from other devices.[9] The show became Sky Atlantic's second most-viewed show for the third quarter of 2020, behind the miniseries The Third Day.[10]
Critical reception
[edit]I Hate Suzie was acclaimed by television critics, who praised the writing and Piper's performance.[11] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 94% with an average score of 8.1/10, based on 34 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Gazing into the eye of the celebrity storm with frenzied style, I Hate Suzie is a ruthless satire on stardom that is effortlessly carried by Billie Piper's manic performance."[12] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the first season a score of 85 out of 100 based on 11 critics, indicating "Universal acclaim".[13]
Writing for The Telegraph, Chris Bennion gave the show 5 out of 5 stars, stating "I Hate Suzie is a glorious mess of ideas, a potent, fizzing monument to the creativity of its makers."[14] Lucy Mangan of The Guardian praised the collaboration between Prebble and Piper, calling the show a "wild ride that feels like an absolute gift."[15] Kristen Baldwin in her review for Entertainment Weekly gave the series an "A" rating, calling it a "bloody brilliant exploration of modern womanhood" that "tells a wholly unique story about the liberation that comes from total exposure."[16]
Sonia Saraiya of Vanity Fair wrote, "I Hate Suzie is a masterclass in tone... a portrait of vulnerability that bewitches not by prettifying itself, or making itself ugly, but instead with stark, unfiltered honesty."[17] Ed Cumming of The Independent wrote, "Piper has a rare gift for eliciting sympathy... [w]hat emerges is a black-comedy-horror about female friendship, modern fame, and the impossibility of true privacy in a world where everyone has an online video camera in their pockets."[18]
In a more critical review, Allison Keene of Paste deemed the series "messy, ambitious, chic, yet ultimately a little shallow and out of focus."[19] However, she reserved praise for Piper's acting, calling her performance "astonishingly open".[19] Matt Walsh of TV Guide wrote "You might squirm but will never hate the excellent Piper, as Suzie careens from self-pity to self-disgust in a surreal blur of debauched despair."[20] Writing for Decider, Joel Keller found the first episode to be "an effective exercise in seeing a person's life fall apart around them in short order" but was more "intrigued with seeing Piper's interpretation of how Suzie tries to put the pieces back together."[21]
