20 Best TV Shows Of 2021
6. It's A Sin
Yet another of 2021's immaculate British dramas, It's A Sin is a five-part drama that takes a frank and harrowing look at the 80's AIDs crisis in London.
Created by the great Russell T. Davies, the series follows a group of young gay men who move to the city for the next chapter of their lives, only to find their world turned upside down by the emerging epidemic.
Admittedly far from being an easy watch given its subject, the joy of It's A Sin is that it isn't a bleak portrayal of loss and hopelessness, but a surprisingly uplifting tale of friendship, community spirit, and love that's occasionally funny and heartwarming.
Starring the likes of Olly Alexander, Omari Douglas, Neil Patrick Harris and Stephen Fry, It's A Sin is a a guaranteed heartbreaker, but one that's life-affirming and eye-opening enough to make the tears worth facing.
