Great to see you doing this show and I really enjoyed your reaction and discussion. One of the reasons I think this show is important is because it shows younger people what it was like to be gay in earlier decades (and, as you said, even in the present day in many places in the world).
Just a couple of context notes for you as you go forward: Keep in mind that although the Hawk and Tim characters are fictional, many of the other characters are portraying real historical figures. This was the era, as you mentioned, right after WWII and in the U.S. we had what was known as the "Red Scare," where elements of the government became obsessed with rooting out communists, and similarly there was the "Lavender Scare" where the government tried to root out gays and lesbians.
I think you'll find the series quite engrossing and the writing, acting and overall production values to be of a high quality. Although it does deal with heavy subjects, I think you will find it very worthwhile. The show does jump back and forth in time quite a lot, and it is not always very obvious right away that we are suddenly in a different decade, so you kind of have to be aware of that. Finally, for me it was great to have two talented gay actors playing the lead roles in a high-profile show about gay people. Cheers, guys!
Thank you for watching 🫶🏻
We both were aware of the “red scare” as it’s something we learned about in school, but of course we were never taught about the “lavender scare”. It’s very sad and shocking to see how queer people had to hide who they were and always had to be on the lookout not to be found out, otherwise they would lose their jobs etc. And then you jump forward to the 80s with the aids epidemic and the hate towards the queer community seems to become even stronger. We’ll make sure to have tissues ready for the next few episodes….
Panos, you're going to be saying "explosive" quite a lot throughout this series. I'm so glad you started this. It was really one of the most amazing shows I've ever watched. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it when you announced you'd be watching, but you will need to keep tissues nearby. You'll be crying and angry and very occasionally happy. I can't wait to see what you lads think!
Yes, they're both in for a poignant and powerful ride.
This feels a lot more explosive than Young Royals already! 😱
We just watched episode 2, and Panos almost lost it at one scene. Stay tuned 😉
@@therainbowreels Young Royals' explosiveness is a firecracker compared to this show! Now I'm really excited to see Panos almost lose it! lol
This was the most brilliant/devastating thing I've ever watched.
😱😭
This is one of the best series and storylines I've ever seen! Glad you're doing this! 👍
YESSS this series is going to be an emotional rollercoaster and I'll be here watching for every step of the way 🧍♂️
Hawk clocked Tim as gay during the "sitting on a park bench" scene because Tim research about him. He searched for Hawk's name and employment history. It's like today's cyberstalking in Instagram thing. When you have a crush on someone, you stalk their social media.
This is a sexy and heartbreaking mini series but you'll love every second of it.
Shine married a Miss Universe and won an Oscar for producing a Best Picture
YA UR REACTING TO THIS! It gets very very spicy lmao
your reaction is great, this series is amazing, it's a bunch of clips of gay life over a 35 or so years, and as someone else said, keep tissues handy
This series was absolutely amazing. I'm still not over it despite watching it probably 10 times! It's been great to watch it again as you see it for the first time. Thank you so much. I've subscribed 🩷.... By the way, I think it's great that you haven't researched this series & are reviewing it "blind".. You are in for quite a journey & I feel that you will absolutely love this series. It 's beautifully heartbreaking & so well written, directed and acted. It's the best series that I have ever watched.
Also I hope you watch Jonathan Bailey winning critics choice awards speech as gay men you wud find it really really emotional❤ and powerful.
We’ll check it out :)
This is SUCH a great series! There's going to be an awful lot you can't show, but it's heartbreaking. In almost every episode they deal with some element of the consequences of homosexuality being illegal and people having to lie, to hide themselves from attitudes that range from pity to disgust & hatred. The fact that this is absolutely how things were is horrifying.
We can already tell that there will be "tough" moments in this show, but we are ready for it 🫶
Please have ALOT of tissues it’s going to be really really heavy the next 7 episodes. These are real I life love stories of many Tim’s and hawks .
Definitely need to have tissues…episode two already destroyed us and we were not prepared 😭
This is gonna be fun😁
Can't wait to see your reactions in the next episodes
A fantastic series, with incredible work from everyone in every capacity: creator (Ron Nyswaner), writers, directors, designers and cinematographer, and above all the terrific cast. And for anyone who wants to learn more about this era and the background to this series, I recommend not only the novel by Thomas Mallon (of which this series is a great expansion and enrichment) but a non-fiction book -- "Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington" by James Kirchick, which traces the story of Gay/Lesbian people in the U.S. Government through the entire 20th century, administration by administration. A real eye-opener, even if you are already familiar with some of the facts and people.
You guys should checkout the movie "The normal heart"! It's an INCREDIBLE movie, also with Matt Bomer staring in it!
I really need to watch this. Where can I find it?
@@DoubleBlack2.0 It's currently available on both Amazon & Crave.
Thanks for the recommendation, adding it to our watch list. 🫶
Oh you need to wear that “explosive” shirt throughout this series😂 but I love it tho, hope you both enjoy it
You may be right. We just watched episode 2, and oh my 🥲🫠😡
Guys I hope you know it’s real life stories of many timhawk and Marcus frankie and Lucy.
Hey! Great to see you doing this show. You should definitely check out PRISMA too. It's an amazing Italian series on Prime Video that tackles important themes about the LGBTQIA+ community and gender identity. The story is refreshing and far from predictable. It's considered a hidden gem here in Italy, especially given the difficult social and political times we're going through. It's not very well known, but it really deserves more recognition. The second season is coming out on June 6th. I hope you give it a chance! and I can't wait to see what you guys think about fellow travelers' plot!
Hey ✌️
Adding PRISMA to our watch list. Thank you for the recommendation 🫶
Back then the color of an accessory (tie, hankerchief, pocket square, nail polish) would be a signal that you were gay so you wouldn't run the risk of hitting on somebody straight.
With Tim knowing Hawk's bio he knows where he works, when he takes his lunch break and since he clocked that Hawk was gay at the election party, Tim chose the bench closest to the men's bathroom. Skippy is not that innocent 😜
Interesting 🤔
Thanks for sharing. We'll be on the lookout for those details going forward.
Thanks for watching 🫶
This is gonna make y'all sob istg

Where ep 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 😌😌🙂
We uploaded episode 2 on Thursday, but it's currently blocked as we are working through a copyright claim. It should be back up soon, and episode 3 will follow soon as well. We just started this show, so you are just in time.
I ended up hating Hawk for everything he did and think a lot of people excuse the characters actions because Matt Bomer is very hot haha....Can't wait what you guys think about this series.... I just laught a little at the beginning when Matt said 'But he has a wife,no' regarding Hawk, he sounded so innocent
😆 yeah it took Matt a moment to figure out what was going on.
I think we share the same sentiment about Hawk…he might be hot, but his behaviour is giving us the ick
