Looking forward to it

Loved the first episode. It’s going to be a heart wrenching series for sure :(

Sensational.

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...

...Henry...:sad:..

...the soundtrack...:love:..

Watched the first ep and it just feels like they’re all gonna die :(

Yeah I’m hoping I’m wrong but this is the impression I was left with :(

I couldn't resist watching the entire boxset today but I regret it now as I'm an emotional mess.



Absolutely outstanding drama from RTD.

Bloody fantastic series.

Love it so far

Colin reminds me of when I came to London, totally wet behind the ears in the early 90s :laugh:

I thought about which of the main characters I related to the most. As cool as it would be to say any of the others, I'm definitely more of a Colin, lmao.

:laugh: he has a special place in my heart and I’m only on ep 2,

some great characters, even the minor ones, hard not to get invested

I'll catch up on this on Tuesday.
When I have more time.

Watched the first episode. I did enjoy it but felt a bit on edge from the direction it was going. I'm not strong enough to watch anymore though.

It sounded depressing so I didn't watch it

...:hug:...because of the times it’s set in and AIDS, it will be a rollercoaster with our emotions, Danny...and obviously we invest some of our hearts into the characters so yeah, it’ll be a difficult watch as well...

Omg I cried so much, so powerful.

And I had to binge watch, just had to.

...episode 3 spoilers...

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.

...just finished watching...

Yeah I did ask my friend what happened though, I know I made the right decision

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.

It's quite shocking that -in some people's living memory- it was actively dangerous to be LGBT. Not just with AIDS, but societally too...

Still is the case in many places

Well sure, but it's also dangerous to be a woman in many of those same places. Some places are just trash :shrug: but obviously I was only speaking for the West.

...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...’...

The ending to ep 2 was.. haunting.
