S2 E3 Johnno

There are not enough words or emotions to describe what a vile human Johnno is. The writing is amazing- allows the audience to see that his behavior is constant and across relationships- as is the behavior of abusers in all aspects of life. Loved seeing him called out and having his GF leave upon hearing his history. Enjoying hearing backstories for the characters in S2. This show is a treasure.

Potato Lady Bex ,

Fantastic Concept

This is an endearing show with a unique premise. I think there’s a lot of heart in it, and there’s also enough mystery that you’ll want to keep coming back to glean new information right alongside the protagonist.

Stewart2727 ,

Blast to the Past

Y2K is centered on the relationship between the two main protagonists and also the life of the podcaster who is listening in on the couple's archived voicemails. Listening in to small pockets of the couples' lives and catching up with them each week feels so personal, making emotional scenes hit really hard. I recommend catching up to follow the show with release dates as episodes occur on the corresponding week.
