Olly Alexander, the lead singer of Years & Years, is starring in the new HBO Max limited series It’s a Sin and he’s opening up about his work on the show.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock these past few weeks then you won't have missed the buzz surrounding Russell T. Davies' acclaimed Channel 4 drama It's A Sin.

Sir Elton John has told Olly Alexander that his It's A Sin character reminded him of his "naughty" younger self.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor It’s hard to imagine now, but “Queer As Folk” wasn’t immediately embraced in all corners of the LGBT community. “I remember when we went to film on Canal Street — it’s the gay quarter in Manchester — and there were bar owners who objected to the title,” “Queer” creator Russell T Davies tells me from his home in Wales.

As Russell T. Davies tells it, he could have written his acclaimed new series “It’s a Sin” a while ago, but, busy with all sorts of other projects, he didn’t get around to it until recently. The openly gay driving force behind both the UK and American versions of “Queer as Folk,” as well as a writer for “A Very English Scandal” and the remount of “Doctor Who,” he’s nonetheless happy to get his story of friendship during the beginning of the AIDS crisis out into the world. “I’ve been heading up to it all these years,” he told Georgia Voice.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticIn 2019, British television writer and producer Russell T Davies turned his attention to the future with the gripping limited series “Years and Years.” Now, he’s transporting us to a past that seems both distant and all too recent.“It’s a Sin,” which launches this month on HBO Max after a run on Britain’s Channel 4, follows a group of friends living in London through the 1980s — a decade that begins, for them, with the promise of liberation and moves, as the AIDS epidemic takes root, towards isolation and pain. The series demonstrates once again Davies’ masterful control of tone, shifting in five episodes from joy to the harder-won pleasures of solidarity in the face of crisis to — finally — tragedy.

Pet Shop Boys‘ classic song ‘It’s A Sin’ has seen a huge increase in sales and streaming following the success of Russell T.

. Following LGBTQ-centric shows like,, and 2020’s, he shifts focus to the 1980s, to explore the lives of twentysomething gay men living in London as they face the growing and deadly AIDS crisis.

Russell T. Davies knew that a drama about the AIDS crisis was going to be a tough subject to sell to audiences.
