When Grief and Fury Collide: The Unsettling Resonance of It's a Sin Russell T Davies' five part drama, It's a Sin, has been praised for its unflinching portrayal of the early AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
What sets it apart from other television depictions is not just its focus on intimacy over grandeur, but also its willingness to confront the silence and complicity that enabled the epidemic's spread.
The show's narrative spans a decade, beginning with the vibrant lives of a group of young queer men as they converge in London.
