英剧《未来岁月》
前言
本剧刚播时分,豆瓣评分非常高,之后因为围着篝火跳舞情节被封,不得不说是一种「红色幽默」。
剧中有特朗普的第二次当选、习近平的第三次连任、英国伊丽莎白二世去世、俄乌冲突、疫情等还是和当前情况比较相似的,但是十几年后的英国还没有被同性恋和穆斯林占领。

青少年贝斯提,告诉她的父母,史蒂芬和凯瑟琳,自己是“人造人”,令凯瑟琳感到震惊和不满。丹尼尔和拉尔夫的婚姻出现裂痕,因为丹尼尔对维克托的感情让他与自己的丈夫疏远。薇芙成立了一个政治党派,名为“四星党”,星星代表了她使用“F-bomb”(脏话)时,电视上用来审查她的星号。罗西与托尼约会,但在发现他与自己的家用机器人发生性关系后,她感到恶心而离开。在祖母莫里尔·赖恩斯92岁生日派对上,这个家庭通过视频电话与远房表亲艾迪思·赖恩斯取得了联系,艾迪思已经前往越南,靠近洪沙岛。在英国响起空袭警报时,消息传来,特朗普发射了一枚核导弹,目标是洪沙岛。

In 2019, businesswoman Vivienne “Viv” Rook (Emma Thompson) causes controversy by saying she “doesn’t give a fuck” about the Israel-Palestine conflict on the political debate show Question Time. Meanwhile, Rosie Lyons gives birth to a son, Lincoln. Daniel Lyons, her brother, worries about the state of the world and what Lincoln’s future will be. The timeline skips forwards to 2024; in the meantime, Donald Trump wins a second term as president, and China constructs an artificial island and a military base named Hong Sha Dao in disputed waters. Daniel marries Ralph, Queen Elizabeth dies, Viv tries and fails to be elected as an independent candidate in the 2022 general election, and a Russian-backed military government takes over in Ukraine. Daniel manages a local council-run refugee camp, where he makes a connection with Viktor, who fled Ukraine after he was tortured for being gay. Teenage Bethany tells her parents, Stephen and Celeste, that she is transhuman, to her mother’s horror and disapproval. Cracks begin to form in Daniel and Ralph’s marriage, as Daniel’s feelings for Viktor cause him to detach from his husband. Viv starts a political party, calling it The Four Star Party, the stars representing the asterisks that were used to censor her unapologetic use of the “F-bomb” on TV. Rosie goes on a date with Tony but leaves in disgust after she discovers he has sex with his house robot. At a party for grandmother Muriel Lyons’ 92nd birthday, the family get a video call from long-absent Edith Lyons, who has travelled to Vietnam, close to Hong Sha Dao. As air raid sirens sound in the UK, news comes that Trump has fired a nuclear missile at Hong Sha Dao. In the ensuing uproar, Celeste tells Bethany that she can be whatever she wants to be, reversing her earlier opposition to Bethany’s transhuman ambitions, and Daniel flees Ralph and his family for Viktor, and they have sex for the first time.

In 2028, Viv Rook promises freedom to her supporters but begins arresting her opponents. Catastrophic flooding and two dirty bombs result in huge numbers of displaced residents in the UK, prompting a new law that requires people with extra space in their homes to take in the victims. Edith works with relocation authorities and becomes suspicious that the poor are becoming “erstwhile”, a new euphemism for being “disappeared”, which she hears about from Viktor, who is in custody in the UK. Stephen visits Viktor to tell him that, unlike the rest of the family, he still blames him for Daniel’s death. Checkpoints are erected around Rosie’s neighbourhood in Manchester in response to criminal activity in the area, and she loses her license to operate her catering van. Bethany is fitted with a brain implant that enables her to interact directly with the internet, but also to spy on her family. Stephen is depressed that he could not pay for the surgery, leaving Bethany a virtual indentured worker to the government, which paid for it. Muriel is diagnosed with macular degeneration and uses the last of her savings to pay £10,000 for fast-track NHS surgery, which reverses the condition. Celeste gets along better with Muriel but bristles at being treated like an unpaid servant. Rosie and Jonjo become engaged, and Edith moves in with her new girlfriend. Stephen degrades himself to get a new high-paying job as a yes-man to Woody, an old acquaintance who calls him his “monkey”. Bethany uses her vast new cyber powers to help Edith break into a facility that keeps records of the Erstwhiles and witnesses her aunt’s near-collapse from radiation sickness. At a business auction held at Chequers, Stephen unexpectedly encounters Viv Rook, who reveals herself to be a slick fascistic monster (while she also makes a comment that hints at her being controlled by someone behind the curtains). Woody’s company wins the contract to maintain two of the new “Erstwhile” concentration camps, intended as death camps. Stephen uses the company’s computer system to send Viktor to the camp, which Bethany sees. At a memorial service to Daniel, Bethany alone knows that her father has betrayed Viktor and sent him to his likely death.

2029年以猴子流病毒疫情开始,贝斯勉强告诉爱迪斯,她的父亲将维克托送往死亡营,因为她害怕自己会因非法活动而受到牵连,并失去植入物。 随着对记者袭击事件的增加,BBC关闭。 穆瑞尔指责这个家庭以及整个人类对世界上的各种问题,她说,许多小行为的累积效应已经创造了他们所处的毒性环境。 史蒂芬和埃琳分手,购买了非法枪支,并将枪放在他的工作台。
维克托想要通过走私得到的手机与家人联系,但营地内的信号塔阻断了所有信号。通过操纵史蒂芬,凯勒斯在伍迪的公司获得工作,试图获取关于昔日营地的信息。不久之后,罗斯和她的邻居们对儿子和他的朋友被从早期的封锁中驱逐感到愤怒,这源于营地其他地方的事件。与此同时,艾迪和她的活动主义朋友们采取措施释放维克托,并炸毁信号屏蔽塔,导致营地囚犯冲向大门,而武装警卫则威胁他们。与此同时,史蒂芬在凯勒斯帮助艾迪使用公司电脑时与她对质,揭示他原本打算向维夫·鲁克的死亡营地广播牵连的证据,然后自杀。伍迪冲进办公室,史蒂芬朝他射击,导致信号恢复。贝斯和她的朋友们在工作场所向全国广播营地的影像。

随着埃迪思的身体死亡,她告诉技术人员,她不相信自己的意识能够真正被编码,因为人类的精神不仅仅是信息。该剧以整个莱恩斯家族围在穆瑞尔身边,不确定埃迪思的意识是否被上传到云端,作为结尾。
2029 begins in the midst of a monkey flu pandemic, and Bethany grudgingly tells Edith that her father sent Viktor to the death camp, fearful that she will be implicated in illegal activity and lose her implants. As attacks on journalists increase, the BBC shuts down. Muriel blames the family and humanity at large for the various problems in the world, saying that the cumulative effect of many small acts of indifference has created the toxic environment they now live in. Stephen breaks up with Elaine, buys an illegal gun, and puts it in his desk at work. Viktor wants to contact the family with a smuggled cell phone, but towers at the camp block all signals. By manipulating Stephen, Celeste gets a job at Woody’s company to try to get information about the Erstwhile camps. Soon after, Rosie and her neighbours are outraged when her son and his friends are locked out of their apartment complex from an early lockdown due to an incident elsewhere. Meanwhile, Edith and her activist friends take steps to free Viktor and blow up the signal-blocking towers, causing the camp inmates to rush the gates, while armed guards threaten them. At the same time, Stephen confronts Celeste while she is helping Edith using the company’s computers, revealing that he had intended to broadcast incriminating evidence against Viv Rook’s death camps and then kill himself. Woody charges into the office, and Stephen shoots him in the leg. With the signals unblocked, Bethany and her friends at work broadcast footage from the camp to the whole country. Rosie breaks through the curfew fence around her estate with her catering van, to the cheers of her neighbours, and this act of civil disobedience is also broadcast nationally. With the camp liberated, Edith collapses to the ground. Later, Viv Rook is charged with murder relating to the Erstwhile sites, though it is unclear who financed and backed her, and the BBC is reopened. Stephen goes to jail for three years for shooting Woody but emerges with a new lease of life. Though Stephen and Celeste do not get back together, their family is again happy. Rosie and Jonjo get married and have a son together, named after Daniel. The timeline skips to 2034, where it is revealed that the events of the series were the retellings of Edith’s memories, as she is in the process of uploading her mind to a new water molecule-based database, with Bethany watching from Muriel’s home as a hologram. As Edith’s body dies, she tells the technicians that she does not believe her consciousness can really be encoded, because the human spirit is more than just information. The series ends with the whole Lyons clan gathered around Muriel, unsure if Edith’s consciousness was uploaded to the cloud.
