Well acted, informative too.
Combining both humour then the serious message of the period.
This should be compulsive viewing all through.
Really good.

Congrats on the role :D
Did you get to meet RTD?
watched the first episode, it made me sad for so many reasons, going to be a hard watch. brilliant though. made me think that this generation is so lucky with all the queer visibility and content we get from pose/drag race/euphoria and many more.
I also just miss being able to go to a gay bar/club and feel instantly happy :(
...I watched the first two episodes...and as well as the storyline/characters, the soundtrack is stunning...:lovedup:...
...I hadn’t realised with AIDS, that it had been ‘theorised’ by some that it had been man made in a laboratory ....and either ‘purposefully released’ or escaped..obviously similar has been theorised by some with COVID also...
...I think the storyline will have many shades of Pose, the series...and also shades of Pride, the movie...?...the main characters are all very likeable and some lovely bonds of friendship forming but with the sexual intimacy within the group...?...obviously Jill’s concerns have some validity as well...I agree with Samm, I think that it’s going to be a very sad and hard watch for many reasons as well ...obviously AIDS with the time it’s set in ...and also the rejection by families/..inability if being able to be who they are because of their sexuality ...then all fitting into a community ‘of understanding’ only to be faced with AIDS...so heartbreaking...

I couldn't resist watching the entire boxset today but I regret it now as I'm an emotional mess.
It gets so heart wrenching, episode 3 has the worst of them all I think. It's really shocking and you don't see it coming.
Absolutely outstanding drama from RTD.

Omg I cried so much, so powerful.
And I had to binge watch, just had to.
...episode 3 spoilers...
...just so incredibly emotional, obviously Colin...but also how it’s now impacting the group in contrast to when AIDS became something that they felt was ‘American’ and their world felt untouchable and untouched by death..ughhhhh, will Richie go back for his results..that whole episode but the end scene with Richie and Live Forever playing...just no words, really.....

Yeah just from the end of the first episode I realised I wasn't strong enough to continue watching
Yeah just from the end of the first episode I realised I wasn't strong enough to continue watching
...I think also, because we’re surrounded by such a grim world atm, Danny...it’s easy for the sadnesses of things we watch to absorb more as well because there is so little to distract and divert our focus...it’s easy also to feel more emotionally involved with the characters...we all have things that we just can’t watch atm, I think...I know I have...and it’s good to self preserve our emotions as you’re doing...:hug:..
One of the best dramas I’ve ever watched. Sobbed so much by the end.
Cherie
25-01-2021, 05:18 PM
Oh nooo :worry:
watched ep 3 now, that came out out the blue I thought Colin was safe :sad:
...just finished watching...
...no words, really...it just tears you apart from the beginning to the end and it needed to have the lighter moments as well to make it bearable...Keeley Hawes as Richie’s mum was excellent as her character. Even though the character herself was really quite shocking in her behaviour and very dislike-able...in her heart she obviously deeply loved him but had no idea who he was because she didn’t want to see him and held that image of him that she wanted him to be...
...as heartbreaking as it was and as relentless AIDS was to the LGBT community at that time and as surrounded by fear and death they all became, the story still gave that great sense of love and family in their community....:lovedup:...huge deep breaths...

It really is amazing how far we've come with HIV in the last decade or so, it was a death sentence for so many years and then for a long time after that, an endless tightrope of illness and balancing medications. These days, viral load can be brought down to almost undetectable levels and (so long as people are sensible and healthy), people can live a full life HIV positive and never develop AIDS. I think there are even a couple of cases of full recovery from HIV now, all traces gone from system.
It's also fascinating to see how it was thought of as "impossible" for anyone but gay men to catch it for such a long time... but the gay community did an excellent job of getting it under control relatively quickly by being careful... and these days, the majority of HIV transmission is from intravenous drug use. And even then, heroin users can live for years if not decades with HIV despite having extremely poor general health.

...there was a quote that someone said in the series that really defined so much, I think...I can’t recall the words exactly but similar to...’if this was their heterosexual sons dying, there would be screaming and rioting in the streets...’...

There's still parts of every UK city where you'll get verbal abuse for being openly gay, and then physically assaulted if you say anything back. OK, yes, it's mainly pubs/bars that I personally wouldn't ever be in by choice anyway ... but the fact remains, I *could* go to those places openly with my wife and be perfectly safe, whereas my friend definitely could not go there with his husband. Not as an obvious couple. They've been together 10 years and married for four, and I've seen them have to pretend to just be friends in public depending on the area, not because something would "definitely" happen but because enough has happened in the past for it not to be worth the hassle. It makes me equal parts sad and very angry.
I'm not saying it's not a hell of a lot better in the UK than in many other countries, the vast majority of places you would ever actually WANT to go are safe, but it's certainly not 100% "fine to be gay in the UK" quite yet.
Also you said "the West" not just the UK and there are huge parts of the US that are still heavily blinkered hardcore Christian and being openly gay would not be the most comfortable life.

The whole thing was pretty grim, well made though. I have to say I wasn't the BIGGEST fan of how the mother was portrayed in the final episode - a touch of misogyny going on in the writing there tbqfh - and also Jill going in on her so hard in the final scenes felt really off. Her son had literally JUST died and it didn't feel warranted or cathartic or anything... also didn't feel like what Ritchie would have wanted so made Jill come across as selfish in one of her final scenes? I dunno. Again not sure about the writing. Felt like it was written by someone who is not a parent. Hmm.

I feel like you’ve just completely missed the point here my love :skull:
Yeah her son had just died but she didn’t even really know him (not that she was to blame for that though)
Jill was his proper family and his maw had prevented them from being together when he passed away which was done out of nowt but spite so yeah so totally did deserve it

So powerful, one of the best dramas I’ve ever seen. Episode 3 and 5 are unbelievably sad, I could not stop crying :sad:
Keeley Hawes was sensational in the final episode, I LOATHED Ritchie’s mum but she played her unbelievably.
...Richie’s mum...
...Scott she kind of did get that ‘slap’ in that he told her who he was, that there had been 100’s of men...the good, the bad and the ugly/type thing...and his words, something like ...’some of them right bastards but I enjoyed every moment...’...that was her ‘slap’, I felt...he was telling her who he was and even though it had led to him there and losing his life, he would not ever mor could ever change who he was...
....Richie’s mum was a product of her time and she wasn’t really a likeable person because sadly, a product of that time had much bigotry...for me, Keeley Hawes played her in as likeable and sympathetic way as she could, she was superb...:lovedup:...young men were dying, they were dying en masse and as was said...if these were heterosexual men...there would be screaming and rioting in every street and what is this goddamn disease...!!!!!!...but that’s not how it was, they were ‘silent deaths’ and ‘hidden deaths’ because of the bigotry of the time ...they were deaths from cancer or pneumonia or something else, anything else, but they weren’t AIDS...because AIDS would only bring judgement...
...Jill’s character was the ‘mother’ who knew him, who knew Richie and not the ideal or idea of Richie that his mother still lived in...to acknowledge and accept who someone is and to love who they are and not who you would like them to be, is the ‘greater love’ /..the more unconditional love, I feel....Jill became what families had rejected and she loved as a parent loves, she became that for many of the characters...but she was prevented from being with Richie, she was kept from him at his time of death and she was told in a very cold way...’oh he died..’ ...and that was that..?...and how she had to tell others who loved him as well, who had known him completely and loved him...even in his death and a mother/son love that she felt...his mother still couldn’t accept him as Richie, but only ‘her Richie’ and she kept him from the people who loved him and who desperately needed to say goodbye to him...just all very sad but yeah, so much of its time...

I didn't miss the point but it wasn't well written... it could have worked in a myriad of different ways - e.g. if the conversation had been a month later, it could have worked. If Jill had simply been furious/upset about not getting to be with him when he died, it could have worked. BUT she's literally only just found out that he's gone and she has a pre-prepared, cold and calculated take-down for someone who has just seen their child die? It's a narrative mis-step in the first place.
That aside... as she walks away the mum is all of a sudden apologetic and saying "I'm sorry... I didn't know..." which is so far from the realms of realism for how ANYONE would be reacting in that situation that it jumps the shark completely. Let alone a character who has been portrayed as being blinkered and bigoted up until this point... was Jill's speech so poignant that it would somehow reach a freshly-grieving mother and change her entire worldview? No... it's not realistic human psychology... she would be angry, broken and incredulous and tell Jill to go **** herself. Would that be fair or reasonable? No. SHOULD she be sorry for her attitudes and what they have lead to? Absolutely. But realistically, would she be, right there and then having only just heard it? Nope... no chance. Again to be realistic, she would have completely rejected the idea that it was her fault in that moment, and if you want a scene of her having absorbed it and accepted blame, it would come months later after sitting with it and hours of introspection. Even having her angry as Jill walked off, and then one little extra scene of Jill receiving an "I'm sorry, you were right" letter a while later, would have improved the writing there.
I know it's supposed to be a powerful scene but in terms of characterisation, it's not well written, which is a shame because the rest of the writing is brilliant.

Just binged the first three episodes and... well... I've been needing a good cry all week so that was a hell of a smack of catharsis.
I actually curled up into a ball lmao... obviously Colin's death is heartbreaking in and of itself, but the way his mother was subject to abuse (the **** through the letterbox), the legal rigamarole, and just 100% supportive even when he was going senile and masturbating in the hospital bed (bye :skull: )... ugh my heart broke specifically for her, and so many other mums and sisters out there (and, dare I say, even the occasional dad or brother) who weren't judgmental, weren't burning their dead sons' possessions out of shame and disgust, or fear of contagion... weren't calling them dirty queers, but just... loved their sons.
Ugh... the AIDS crisis just absolutely breaks my heart whatever the manner of media I digest it through is. So, so many bright and talented and beautiful people just... gone, in their prime. I can't think about it for too long without crying but it's just so important to commemorate these people.
I was thinking "...that guy Colin's moved in with, bet they're gonna shag :hehe:" and then nothing happened... so to see that all play back was a moment of "I bloody knew it :oh:" at least :love:
LOVE Roscoe and Jill... loved Henry too, especially since I actually find Neil Patrick Harris a little insufferable, but he was fantastic in this even if only for a brief episode. Soundtrack is fantastic, naturally, but the acting is superb from pretty much everyone.

Finished the other two episodes
I knew it was coming because I'm an idiot who likes to read spoilers before I watch TV shows and films... but whew that was a heavy watch.
I am now in a predicament where I feel like if I ever saw Keeley Hawes I would smack her in the face :worry:
Episode four was done a little better IMO... the fifth had a lot of loose ends to tie up, whereas 4 was all about Ritchie going home, getting the diagnosis, finally owning up to his behaviour and shame, reliving his past and going through the stages of grief (that scene where he breaks down in that boy's car, and then gets out and performs some ballet moves in the headlights... absolutely stunning).
And then obviously the fifth episode was inevitable... I've already said in here about how heartbreaking and difficult it was for families of the deceased to come to terms with, but even small details like Ritchie's sister crying with Roscoe & Jill in the B&B just... really well done. And the final scenes with Jill just stopping in on lonely strangers because she never got to say goodbye to Ritchie... yeah that ruined me lol.
I need to read up on Jill herself... she was based on this woman (who makes a cameo herself, as 'Jill's mum' in the final two episodes): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55937944 She seems like an absolute hero.

I need to read up on Jill herself... she was based on this woman (who makes a cameo herself, as 'Jill's mum' in the final two episodes): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55937944 She seems like an absolute hero.
Keeley Hawes is such a versatile actress, she never typecasts herself
she was fantastic in Finding Alice as the grieving widow
In Honour playing the real life Sergeant who brought the family to justice
The Home Secretary in the Bodyguard
Line of Duty
I could go on, so no violence for a wonderful actress :nono: unlike Jimmy Nesbitt who seems to play the same character in everything he is in

Yeah she looks great in that upcoming film about Roald Dahl with whatshisname from Downton Abbey, too. Plus there was Ashes to Ashes, of course.
...that you want to smack Keeley in the face, Shaun...shows what a terrific actress she is and how excellently she portrayed Richie’s mum...it really is an award winning performance...:lovedup:...Keeley is such the lady of the moment in terms of the roles she’s getting and how in demand she is...she’s always been a favourite for me...so it’s lovely to see her get the recognition she deserves...:love:...
...I started to read up on Jill Nalder while I was watching it also...and yeah, what an amazing and inspirational lady and at a time when so many needed that caring and support in the LGBT community...:love:...

oh tbh it's not really a spoiler as you could see it coming if you know what I mean...there is a shock in it though that you don't see coming at all so I would recommend

...yeah, I loved it...:love:..not just Keeley but everything about it...(...that house, though ...would have driven me crazy, I really did feel her pain at sitting there in the dark because she couldn’t open the curtains or do the most simple things and how disabled she felt...I also loved the Durrells and especially her character of Louisa...it was my guilty pleasure watch when it was airing ...but I think the timing was perfect for it to finish as well...she’s just a delightful actress and person...plus, I saw her in an interview once and she was wearing a dress that I also have so that made me fall more in love with her...:laugh:...

Yeah you could kinda see that unfolding though, apart from the bit where his friends don't get to see him before he dies :worry:
btw you should watch the Sopranos, I know you said the end was spoiled for you but it is a great watch!
