Channel 4’s new drama, It’s A Sin, is arguably the best new show of the year so far. Created by Russell T Davies (Years And Years, Queer As Folk), the series follows the lives of a group of gay men during the Aids crisis. 

It’s heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measures, boldly telling a story that caused so much devastation during the 80s. On the one hand, it addresses the awful fact that the LGBTQ+ community was let down so much by misinformation and homophobia. But it also celebrates how they lived their best lives and formed amazing friendships in London.
