It's a Sin

I was a teenager in the late 80s/90s and was scared to death to be gay and to have anyone find out. There was/is so much hatred in the world and so many people died of AIDS for no reason other than the hate in people's hearts. I listened as my religious family cheered AIDS for "cleansing" the world. So much hatred. So much misinformation. A stigma that to this day still exists.

This show reminds us how strong the LGBTQ+ community has always been and will continue to be.

If you want to laugh, to cry, to remember, and to understand, watch this show. It is well written and well acted. I wish it was more than 5 episodes, but in a way, the shortness of the show is ironically symbolic of the speed at which so many lives ended.

I came out in 1982 and this bought all the memories flooding back , good and bad . From discovering my sexuality , discovering my parents were homophobes . Going out on the scene seemed like an adventure , alluring but underground , away from straight society . I visited San Francisco and the Castro in 1981 but was underage for the bars and unaware of the bath houses etc . I am glad of my naivety . I look back now almost 40 years and remember those who I have lost . 5 Episodes I wish it had been 12 .

This was an education. It's brilliant, it's fun, there's an outstanding cast and it is absolutely heart breaking. I hope everyone involved in this show is so so proud. Sorry this isn't much of a review, it's hard to put in words how I feel after watching this. Just give it a go, with an open heart and learn and respect. You will laugh and you will cry.

So... I am known for my stone cold heart and lack of emotion. I cried like I had been dumped by the love of my life. Loved this show. Its a must watch.

I came across this by mistake when I couldn't reach the remote while feeding my baby and I'm so glad I did. I ended up watching the whole lot!

It's brilliant. Nothing short of amazing.

I loved every single character and they are all superb actors but the girl who played Jill was out of this world.
