I’d wait for each episode like a little kid waiting for a gift from his mom
Set against the backdrop of a complex historical period, this film allows viewers to deeply empathize with the characters, especially in terms of the societal and familial pressures they face. If being gay remains challenging even today, imagine how much more difficult it must have been during that era. Right from the opening scene, the film establishes a heavy, somber mood, allowing the audience to feel the weight of what the characters are about to endure.
The cast delivers outstanding performances, each actor bringing rich experience and authenticity to their roles. Every character has their own story and struggles, which makes it hard to truly hate any of them—even when their actions are harsh or painful—because you understand that, in many ways, they had no choice. Watching this series wasn’t something I could do lightly; I had to prepare myself emotionally, knowing I’d be faced with intense psychological moments.
Both mothers in the story are portrayed with complexity and depth. Their greatest fear is seeing their sons looked down upon, and they’re willing to do anything—no matter how cruel it may seem—to protect them. What I took away from this series is the importance of family. In the darkest moments, it's often our families who give us the strength to face life’s toughest challenges.
I give this series a 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone ready for an emotional and thought-provoking experience.
