Watch With Popcorn's video: It s a Sin - Series Review

It's a Sin is a British television drama miniseries. The five-part series is set from 1981 to 1991 in London. It depicts the lives of a group of gay men and their friends who lived during the HIV/AIDS crisis in the United Kingdom. Together they form the ensemble which the show focuses on most. It premiered in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 on 22 January 2021. The show's subject matter of HIV and AIDS was difficult to sell to broadcasters. BBC One and ITV declined to develop the series and Channel 4 only took it on after their commissioning editor of drama, Lee Mason, fought for it. The show was then shortened from eight planned episodes to five. The show received critical acclaim for its emotional scenes, writing, and depiction of AIDS; the cast performances were also met with widely positive reviews. All episodes were released to the broadcaster's online streaming service All 4. After a few weeks, it was viewed in its entirety more than 6.5 million times; making it the most binge-watched show to stream on the platform. The first episode also became Channel 4's biggest drama launch. The show also created an upsurge in HIV testing. [Wiki]
