Ohmygoodness!

Watching this series - on episode 3.

Brilliant

[smurfchops]

Yes very good. And sad ..

[Peter Pedant]

it is very well done
I dont want to spoil it for you

[pastafreak]

I got hooked on it straight away. I considered binge watching the full series...but I want to savour it. I also want something to look forward to on Friday night!

Enjoyed the first one so much that I binge watched the series.
Brilliantly written and acted. I will say no more.

[eve1974]

crying already

[jakep]

You will..... :-(

[ummmm]

OMG - That was really powerful. I think that will be Channel4 biggest hit of 2021.

[eve1974]

Well I binge watched entire series. Ohmygdnss. Cried almost non stop from episode 3 till the end

[tiggerblue10]

It was brilliant and I shed a few tears too :o(

[jackthehat]

We haven't watched it, yet, although we are recording it.

I think it will bring back some pretty powerful memories for both of us; both of the 'scene' itself and good friends long since departed.

[anneasquith]

Jth. It’s very powerful and reminds us all of the ignorance surrounding AIDS. I’m sure you and Ms. will enjoy it .

[pastafreak]

I was literally on the edge of my seat all through tonight's episode. I just kept thinking "please, not this ". Such a sad episode...such a tragic time.
I remember my now ex asking his mum in 81-82 if AIDS was being talked about in the UK. We were still in NYC. Her response was total ignorance...I mean that in the sense of it not being in the news...yet. I know we were shocked as there were daily news reports on our side of the Atlantic.

Binge watched the whole series today/tonight. Quite decent but full of shallow characters in whom i could find much empathy. Though there are some poignant scenes, it's not exactly a tear jerker, imho. And am i wrong in wishing someone would slap Ritchie's mother (Keeley Hawes) more than a few times?

[Ken4155]

"couldn't find much empathy.."

[ummmm]

Ken...they didn't know it was dangerous. It was a hedonistic lifestyle, but what can you expect from people who had been in 'the closet' for years.

Thankfully/hopefully it's completely different nowadays. People will just tut instead of beating the crap out of them

[Smowball]

Is it a drama or a true story?

[Ken4155]

A drama, smow. Though i dare say a lot of it rings true given the subject matter.

[royfromaus]

I would think it is a drama based on true events (haven't watched it yet though)

[Ken4155]

Ummmm, many carried on their hedonistic lifestyles even after they knew the danger. Pretty much like today's Covid deniers, in a way.

Just binged watched the first three episodes on my own (OH won't go anywhere near it). Poor Gladys, that made me cry. Exceptional storyline, fantastic acting, and from what I can remember of the 80's an accurate depiction of life for some at the time. I confess I FF'ed some of the sex scenes which I found a bit too graphic for me, but I do that with hetro scenes sometimes -just me...going to watch episode 4 this afternoon.
