About
If you want a bingeable, emotionally intense story about friendship and survival during the AIDS crisis, you’ll likely enjoy it; Not for you if you prefer light entertainment only, like Cucumber or Big Boys.
Pros: heartbreaking emotional impact; vivid 1980s feel; laugh-and-cry balance | Cons: very difficult subject matter; heavy tragedies; not everyone’s taste
