About
"A theatrical, furious reckoning with plague-era America"
Set in mid-1980s New York as the AIDS crisis erupts, this miniseries weaves together a closeted Mormon lawyer, his pill-dependent wife, a dying man and his fearful partner, and the real-life lawyer Roy Cohn, all touched by a mysterious angel. It's dense, theatrical, and openly political, adapted from Tony Kushner's stage play, so expect long monologues and heightened, poetic dialogue rather than naturalistic drama. The tone shifts between devastating grief, dark comedy, and surreal fantasy. What carries it is the writing's ambition and a cast delivering some of the finest television performances ever filmed.
the towering performances and Kushner's poetic, politically fierce writing about faith and mortality.
you want brisk pacing rather than dense, theatrical monologues and stage-play structure.
