Michaela Coel: I did not expect so many to identify with I May Destroy You

Michaela Coel has said she did not expect so many people to identify with her Bafta-winning series I May Destroy You. The programme won best mini-series at Sunday’s Bafta television awards, while Coel also won in the leading actress category for her role in the hit show. The series tells the story of a woman rebuilding her life after a sexual assault. Speaking after the ceremony, Coel said the series “really helped me get past some troubling stuff”.
