PLOT SYNOPSIS

As Britain withdraws from Europe, America becomes a lone wolf and China asserts itself, the world is rocked by a flurry of unstable political, economic, cultural and technological advances. It’s a world in which no one can tell political right from left – as evidenced by the rise to power of Vivienne Rook (EMMA THOMPSON), a brash entrepreneur whose say-anything style makes her as appealing as she is controversial.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5

Years and Years comes to DVD through Warner’s Archive Collection and the discs are DVD-R. No features were included.

 

VIDEO – 3.75/5, AUDIO – 3.5/5

The show is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 2.00 widescreen aspect ratio and looks standard for a drama series, colors are a bit drab at times and there were some minor pixilation, otherwise it’s a fine looking picture. Each episode comes with a Dolby Digital 5.1 track and the bulk of it is dialogue through the center channel with basic ambient noises via the front and rear speakers.
