You really should be watching this series.
It’s not perfect, but it’s really, really good, and gets at some of the ways life was.
You can watch the first two episodes online, and catch the third and fourth tonight and tomorrow.
It’s really what we all need right now: to see what resistance looks like, what it had to look like, and how people brought their best fight, their best selves, and found alliance even within communities that had a great deal to argue about amongst themselves. But moreso: things were just starting to really improve just at the moment when the horror that was the AIDS crisis hit. Sound familiar? It should. We’re living through a similar historic moment right now.
