Russell T Davies Instagram – Two men meet by chance and we follow their relationship across the decades, from the heights of McCarthyism in the 50s to the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. This is devastating, gripping, hot, brilliant and absolutely wonderful. Landmark TV, written with such ferocious, unsparing intelligence. I’ve never seen, so clearly, how the closet, with all its lies, power and compromise, perfectly fits the world of politics. And such a profound understanding of sex, with joy, fear, kink, roleplay and the sheer complications of two men negotiating with each other. Let alone the complications of love! The most brilliant cast, led by @mattbomer and @jbayleaf, wonderful script by @ronnyswaner and a gorgeous score by @paulleonardmorgan, led by the mighty @danminahan. Available on @paramountplusuk. I’ve been thinking a lot about the brilliant review of this by @paul_flynn which asked the fundamental question, “What was it about us that caused such opprobrium?” Television
