Every episode is heartbreak and regret.

Reflecting on my undergrad years in LA starting in 1981, I deeply empathize with your sentiments. Living through the peak of the AIDS crisis in my 20s and 30s was a profoundly challenging experience. The pain and impact of that era were significant, and it's indeed a visceral experience to revisit those memories. It’s a part of our history that left an indelible mark on many lives.

If you’re just doing a synced watch along it shouldn’t take this long to post.

Annika Gestrin Lindelöf

I am so happy you do this. I can't watch it on my own so thank you that can watch it with you. 😍

Michaela Morávková

I found myself watching in that same position ...

So like…where’s the uncut video.

Aids hit when I was about 12 and realizing I was different from other boys. I was 15 in '86 when part of this show takes place and could no longer avoid the truth that I'm gay. Aids and HIV scared me so I was in my late 20's before I had full on sex. Scary times.

Nikki Hearn

I'm so tempted to watch it but I'm hanging out for your review video! 😅😅 I'm in suspense..

Jennifer Thompson

The slap! 😲

Oswaldo Guzman

The trailer for Episode 3 was just released and it looks like is going to be quite intense.

Jennifer Thompson

I’m hoping this will be more cathartic than the book. I think I saw hints it will be. 🙏🙏🙏

James

Having lived through my 20s and 30s during heart of the aids crisis it hurts- physically hurts- to watch this.

James

I know…right?

Henry Riley

Honestly same! 😨😅

Jamie

Same. I was holding my breath.

Jacqui Chesterton

It was a hard watch for sure. I won't give anything away in the comments but when Hawk said "watch her" that's about when I lost control of my emotions.

I couldn’t get all the way thru the 1st episode so not sure how I’ll handle the 2nd. Life was so bleak for LGBTQ+ back then and I remember when my mom talked me about McCarthy and his hearings. The closest parallel for my generation was the Watergate hearings. Then when I was in my 40s I remember the Clarence Thomas hearings and how Anita Hill was so brave to stand up to all those white male senators. Things are better now but it’s still so precarious. When I look at the new Speaker of the House in the US Congress, I just shudder.

Are you going to react to the entire season?

Aurora

Man, this show is sooooo everything! So full, so heavy, just.....

Claudine Newman

I’ve been planning on holding on until it’s all out and watching on a free trial as I can’t really afford yet another streaming service but not sure I’ll hold out until mid December though. I’m so desperate to watch it!

Pip

Oh no. And I haven't bought my fan yet. I still haven't got over the shiver that "I'm your boy, right?" sent down my spine. 🫨🤪

Jamie

It makes my chest ache but it’s so good. 😭

Suzy Dillinger

Omg, haven’t started it yet. Thanks for the warning. I’m itching to start

Steffi K.

Same here....😢

Chris Mackenzie

I haven't watched it yet, so i appreciate the heads up.

Ann-Marie Still

I cried at the first episode 😭 not sure how I'll deal with the rest of the series

Frances

Oh my 😱

Chris Metzger

This show is really next level in everything. Don't worry, Alex, we're all in this together. The good. The bad. The saucy. Sometimes, the good, bad, and saucy all in the same scene!

Ile

Im excited to watch it with you two, but I also know what is coming and 😖😖😖 im scared

Diane Furlong

Oh my Alex, Sending hugs! I watched episode two last night. It’s gonna be a tough journey

Darrin Bodner

oh boy ... i'm not sure I'm ready ... fun fact: are you aware this book was first turned into an opera? still touring the world as far as I'm aware.

Nalia

I was not mentally prepared for this show. Episode 1 left me sobbing. Episode 2 wasn't quite as bad but there were still tears. I don't know if I'm ready for whatever is in store for us in the future episodes...

Frances

Omg. Im equally excited as I am scared now! I’m reacting to the show by watching along with you guys, cause I just don’t wanna pay for another streaming service 😅. And it actually is very entertaining cause it feels like as if we’re watching it together. Can’t wait for the next episode 🥺
