Excited ?


I loved Queer as Folk and most of Cucumber.. but most of his recent stuff has been far too pantomime/preachy imho. Especially that BBC1 thing last year.

[Kev]

I liked his turn as showrunner for Doctor Who. If I remember correctly, you didn't.

[ladsnet]

I did at first. Towards the end of his run it all got a bit silly.

[Green Circle]

Definitely one to watch.

[jumbler]

There was a Swedish series along similar lines. So it’s not all that original.

I’d like to think he could make a new twist of it, but I doubt it.

I’m not terribly fond of gays being cast as deviants, or AIDS-riddled freaks either. Even if a lot of community links were formed, or bonded in those days.

Holding the Man was different - that was based on an autobiography and a love story.

[ladsnet]

Don't Ever Wipe Tears is utterly amazing.
I don't expect this to be in the same league.

[Vic]

That Olly Alexander is in it is encouraging

[deegee178]

I’m looking forward to this as liked QaF and Cucumber.

I see Callum Scott Howells is in it - he was on some singing show a few years back I think. Quite an attractive guy.

[Luckydog2020]

Looking forward to it too.

Is it being released as a box set?? Or just weekly.

Hate that (when they insist on releasing online episodes weekly). So old-fashioned.

Box set on All4 I, released after the first episode has aired on TV.

[ladsnet]

I think I'd rather wait a week between episodes than have to suffer All4

[jumbler]

Ugh. It’s not the best app, is it?? But I’d need to watch some before I could decide if it’s worth downloading it or not.

[ladsnet]

All the UK streaming services are shit compared to the US ones.
But All4 takes the... (Pause for 5 mins of ads) ... shitbiscuit

[Bangle1]

Amazon Prime have bought the rights to air it in Canada. Rather than sit through adverts and struggle with All4, I'll probably wait and download the webrips. Looking forward to it though.

[deegee178]

Really enjoyed the first episode. Haven’t decided if I’ll suffer All4 or watch it old school style each week.

[adidas]

I liked the first episode too - interested to see how things develop.

[ladsnet]

I've been requested by a number of members to make this Spoiler friendly.

So I've decided this...



This topic is now dedicated to It's A Sin - Weekly
For people who are watching each episode as it's aired on C4. Once a week.

There'll be a 2nd topic set up for those watching it streamed. All at once.

[jumbler]

Once a week. Just like the 1980s.

[romeolover]

If you want to watch all of the episodes and have SkyQ - All episodes are now available, advert-free
