According to the show’s official website, “It’s a Sin” is a drama that follows five friends in England during the 1980s. The official synopsis reads, “With their lives tested as they grow up in the shadow of AIDS, they’re determined to live and love more fiercely than ever.”

Considering the subject matter, it’s safe to say that you can expect a lot of emotional moments in this praised series, but it’s also brimming with heart and personality. The cast includes Years & Years singer Olly Alexander, Lydia West, Nathaniel Curtis, Omari Douglas, and Callum Scott Howells. Celebrated vets Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Fry, and Tracy-Ann Oberman also have supporting roles on the series.

Though “It’s a Sin failed to secure any accolades at the BAFTA TV awards this year, it’s clear that its sterling reputation will continue to bring viewers to the show. After all, it feels a bit like a prequel to “Queer As Folk,” and if that doesn’t get you interested in binging the six-episode drama, I don’t know what will.
