Looks like it could be decently watchable, it's Ryan Murphy so you know the first season will be good at least.

Shaun 18-03-2019 05:42 PM

This starts airing on BBC2 on Thursday, shall definitely give it a watch

Well WAS IT decently watchable Dezzy? I feel like this thread was left on a cliffhanger.

It's a tad good.

Beso 21-03-2019 08:35 PM

Think I might pick up my rubiks cube and try again for the tenth bilionth time.

Crimson Dynamo 21-03-2019 08:36 PM

I turned over

TomC 01-04-2019 11:01 PM

I started watching this tonight! Seems promising.

TomC 02-04-2019 09:25 PM

2 episodes in and loving this so much. The characters are ADORABLE. And it's so nice to see some visibility for such an important part of LGBT+ history.

TomC 02-04-2019 09:26 PM

also the male cast are literally all gorge

Headie 10-04-2019 01:26 PM

A quarter of the way through this and I love it so much already! :love:

LaLaLand 11-04-2019 01:05 AM

Okay I'm really getting into this now.

LaLaLand 11-04-2019 01:17 AM

If you like this series you should watch the documentary movie "Paris is Burning" (1990) which is basically what this is based on.
Quote:

Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. Some critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, and a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America.
It's on YouTube and is pretty legendary:


LaLaLand 12-04-2019 04:44 AM

Couldn't sleep so watched the last two episodes, amazing. Perfect finish. Very heartwarming.

I'd recommend this to everyone it's just brilliant, has everything. Dramatic, genuinely funny, flamboyant, emotional, extremely heart-wrenching at times and most importantly, extremely thought-provoking. Incredible cast too.

They need to release a soundtrack too because my God the music alone in this series has been awesome!

Season 2 has been confirmed btw.

LaLaLand 12-04-2019 10:37 PM

There's a Spotify playlist if you search for "Pose" that has probably the whole soundtrack of the series - SO good!

LaLaLand 08-09-2019 06:49 PM

Anyone watched Season 2 yet?

MB. 08-09-2019 07:58 PM

I've been meaning to for a while now - I've only watched the Never Knew Love Like This Before scene and I reckon, emotionally speaking, that it was enough for me for another year or two

All episodes of Season 2 are now on iPlayer :love:

Just finished Episode 4 and currently sobbing my heart out :(

I'm binging on iPlayer and literally came here to say that Ep 4 has broke me. SO unbelievably sad and raw. Heartbreaking - I bawled my eyes out a few times. Amazing ending [the lip-syncing] though. :bawling::bawling:

LaLaLand 03-11-2019 11:38 PM

Finished watching S2 - loved it. Very intrigued to see where S3 is going to go now...

So much change going on...

Spoiler:

1. Angel & Papi's business venture, engagement and [hopefully, I presume] their wedding next season.
2. Is Damon going to be in S3 at all? Seemed pretty final to me that he's now leading a house in Paris and a "famous" dancer/choreographer.
3. The return/revenge or actually even "reformation" of Frederica? [Amazing character]
4. I want more Nurse Judy OUTSIDE of the hospital and involvement with Act Up.
5. Who's going to be the first AIDS-related death of the main crew? Blanca, Ricky or Pray? Or are more going to test positive maybe?
6. I want more Lulu in general - a backstory would be nice too. She's kind of the most "outsider" main cast member so more focus on her would be good. She's a funny character.
7. Blanca's new "kids" from the closing scenes - Quincy and Chilly - are they the new focus for the upcoming season?
8. Blanca's new love interest, the lifeguard - will that develop and what impact will her health have on it?

SO many possibilities!

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 18-06-2020 10:27 PM

I’m 5 or 6 eps icr and i’m OBSESSED

i watched this as well during lockdown. brilliant show, went a bit off at the start of S2 however the last few episodes of S2 saved it.

season 3 was aimed to air during the summer but production stopped in march because of miss rona :( apparently they were halfway done.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 21-06-2020 06:06 PM

I swear when i was on netflix the other day season 2 was showing but now it’s not? It’s something to do with the BBC owning the rights for so long BUT I SWEAR I SAW IT

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 21-06-2020 09:42 PM

I’m obsessed with lil papi

Can't wait for S3, so much major stuff happens in S2 that idek where they're going this time.

Hope they can pick up filming again soon, believe they were half way through when 'rona halted production.

A year and a half later and I'm finally there. Binged the first four episodes, cried over two of them (3/4, the Christmas episode - the red pumps <3 - and the one where the boys get tested)

I must admit I'm a little annoyed at Evan Peters being given top billing when his character is so inconsequential and serves nothing more than to remind this world of what they're being trodden down by. I appreciate his/Angel's relationship story but don't put him and his barely-there wife top of the god damn bill :oh: even if Billy Porter gets all the awards.

Blanca is maybe my favourite character of the past decade if that means anything. Such a warm and layered character. Oh and Dyllon Burnside :flutter:

Ammi 07-07-2020 06:42 PM

...Lord you couldn’t not cry when she gave Angel the red pumps...:love:...and then when they gave Blanca the heart in return because she’s their heart...I cried me a river...:lovedup:....

Ammi 11-07-2020 06:00 PM

...episodes 5 & 6...:sad:..:love:..


...the characters of Blanca and Pray Tell and their friendship..:lovedup:..

Ammi 15-07-2020 05:49 AM

...I think I’m on around episode 7 or 8 of series 2 at the minute and I’m absolutely going to need grief counselling when it’s over because the characters are so easy to fall in love with...a by the by, Indya Moore is totally gorgeous and I hadn’t known her story at all, she seems like a very spectacular person who has achieved so much and overcome so much in the achieving of...:love:...


...I’m changing my username to Pray Tell...

Shaun 15-07-2020 11:10 AM

I got up to the first episode of S2 and I was mildly annoyed by them randomly turning Elektra back into a villain just for a bit of plot shakeup. I know Dominique Jackson plays a villain fantastically but it just completely undid her S1 arc :( typical Murphy nonsense.

Ah well, the rest of it is still great.

Ammi 15-07-2020 11:55 AM

...I wouldn’t say that she’s turned back, Shaun...she’s Elektra, a totally entitled QUEEN, so her arc is always going to shake at times and be quite bumpy...:laugh:...but that’s part of her charm also, she’s still very much on the arc, I would say...if she looked like she was reviving her full time villainess...?...Blanca would have her back in line with a swift click of her well polished nails...I love their friendship despite how different they are...

Ammi 15-07-2020 11:57 AM

..oh and another great positive with series 2...?...no Stan and whatshername, his wife...

Shaun 15-07-2020 12:17 PM

:joker: yeah that's definitely a positive

I don't know, it sort of blindsided me and considering everything that happened between Blanca/Elektra in S1 - the transition, the constant affirmation of being her only mother / only daughter etc - it just felt unrealistic that she would snap and become a sworn enemy of her House because she wanted a nicer apartment.

Like I'm sure there'll be another redemption somewhere down the S2 line but as a start-off point it felt like a big "... ok ignore her becoming rounded and rootable at the end of the first season" disclaimer :laugh:

Ammi 15-07-2020 12:46 PM

...awwww, I think Elektra more than any other character fits that Hector Xtravaganza quote from the series, so well.../well her whole relationship with Blanca....



“Blood does not family make. Those are relatives. Family are those with whom you share your good, bad, and ugly, and still love one another in the end. Those are the ones you select.”


...Elektra so gloriously is the good, the bad and the ugly...:laugh:...but she’s never going to leave that arc because she’s essentially a good person, who needs her family...maybe more than anyone else does...she’s never going to be Miss Congeniality or that Dairy Queen...:laugh:...but she’s extremely lovable and always more good than bad/ugly and that always shines through...:flutter:..
