New drama series from Russell T. Davies, centered around a group of young people moving to London in the 1980s.
Checked out the first episode this morning. Quite liked it. Ritchie, Roscoe and Colin are all fleshed out. Come from different places, and feel like different people (rather than being interchangable). With all three being gay, and the show starting in 1981, hints of the AIDS epidemic are shown around them. But only Colin interacts with someone visibly sick, with Ritchie and Roscoe being seemingly unaware of what is going on. Sad seeing Neil Patrick Harris die.
Apparently, the show is partly inspired by Davies' own experiences of this era and the AIDS epidemic in the UK.
