...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.....

One of the best dramas I’ve ever watched. Sobbed so much by the end.

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. |

POW! BLAM!

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...

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

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 feel like you’ve just completely missed the point here my love
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 I’d have thrown in a slap for good measure meself |

So powerful, one of the best dramas I’ve ever seen. Episode 3 and 5 are unbelievably sad, I could not stop crying
Keeley Hawes was sensational in the final episode, I LOATHED Ritchie’s mum but she played her unbelievably. |

I haven’t stopped thinking about this since I finished it. Just haunting from start to finish
The poor gays of the 1980s it just makes me feel so lucky to be born in a different time, but so angry too at the hardships they had to face. The scary thing it is it was only relatively recent too |
