Pose on FX

I don't watch a ton of TV, but one show I've binged lately has been Pose.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7562112/

The show is set in the ballroom scene of 80s NYC, and deals with a lot of hard topics like the HIV epidemic, gay and trans POC and their acceptance in the "straight" world, and what makes a family. It can be tough to watch in parts, and the first season's storyline was a bit too cliched in places. But overall it's a well acted, well scripted show that highlights a very unique part of history.

Has anyone else been watching? What did you think?

    I gave up after the first episode. The whole format/concept of "pose" battles with costumes and that being such a big deal just didn't work for me. And that's perfectly fine.

      That's one of my favourite parts! It does make up a large component of the show though, so if it's not your thing I can understand why it wouldn't be the show for you.
