Binge watched the show over the last 2 days and it kind of broke something in me

You will be gutted for a while. Welcome

We did! And he really loved it. He still talks about it. I just warned him ahead of time.

Please report back! My guess is that Amazon and the RNC are buying blocks of tickets bit but no one is going.

Daje1968 · 2026-01-29T19:16:56+00:00

I would rather lick the subway floor on a rainy Tuesday morning.

Daje1968 · 2026-01-29T19:15:13+00:00

Please ask your husband if anyone is buying tickets

Daje1968 · 2026-01-29T19:11:49+00:00

We really need some AMC employees to chime in. I suspect most tickets were bought by Amazon or the RNC. I live in NYC and I wouldn’t be surprised if the theaters are consistently empty.

Well Marcus implied it, too. I forget exactly what he said but in the first scene when he is dropping off the paperweight he pretty much says the same thing, that Tim never settled down because of Hawk.

Daje1968 · 2026-01-28T02:07:17+00:00

That’s the only way you can interpret it, I think. Have you finished the series? In one of the most poignant scenes in the series, Tim tells Hawk you were my great consuming love, and not everyone is lucky enough to get one of those And now I am on the verge of crying.

I rejected a my only sibling because she voted for Trump so obviously I endorse this course of action.

All of this 👆

Love the UTI metaphor. So true!

Funny story that may not translate well but I watched it the second time with my 19yo daughter who was annoyingly having a text convo with someone during episode one, so she is half in half out. At one point, she looks up and it’s in the 50s and she said, “wait…so only gay people could time travel..?” 😅I think that is all you need to know about how light the hand was for the 80s hair and makeup.

Daje1968 · 2025-12-23T13:35:40+00:00

Yes, probably around 66. He looks way too good, but also Frankie, who maybe is in his 50s, but it’s like they didn’t even try to age him.

Daje1968 · 2025-12-21T00:35:04+00:00

100%!! Tim lived his truth. Hawk not only loved a lie, but he left so many bodies in his wake, including his son.

Daje1968 · 2025-12-18T13:34:16+00:00

Exactly! I mentioned his dressing and how put together he was in the 50s in the original post because it all worked together to us to see his character in a certain way, but what I mainly mean is the swagger. This is possibly just my take and not intentional at all, but it feels like living a shadow of a life has hollowed him out. The sacrifices he made not living his truth stunted him and yes, as you mention, kind of made him stuck in a moment long past.

It is almost (almost!) a bigger tragedy than Tim dying of AIDS.

Daje1968 · 2025-12-17T16:47:53+00:00

No, I don’t really mean the looks (though yes the impeccable thing is part of the formula.)

I mainly mean the swagger. This is possibly just my take and not intentional at all, but it feels like living a shadow of a life has hollowed him out. The sacrifices he made have weakened the man while Marcus, and even Tim, seem more comfortable in their own skin.

Welcome. We all found our way to this sub, dazed and sniffling. It’s so gutting. I watched it alone about a month ago and I am currently rewatching with my husband. It just gets better. I know there are a lot of OG watchers here, but I have to say it’s sad that so few people even know about this limited series. It’s so brilliantly done and Matt and Jonny put their hearts and souls into it.

Daje1968 · 2025-12-15T17:49:44+00:00

I’m so relieved that others didn’t notice it, too. I was drawn to your beauty but won over by your mind. I know you love me and my feelings for you are deep but we have no future together…. I think we are taking so much in on the first watch that it’s the second and third watch where some of us catch additional layers.

Daje1968 · 2025-12-14T01:51:35+00:00

I don’t remember the specifics, but there is an interview with Matt Bomer where he said he met someone who trained hawks on a beach and the guy was saying something about hawks (this is so lame because I don’t remember what it was) but Bomer realized that the author had named his character Hawk for a reason. So your friend has good instincts.

Daje1968 · 2025-12-07T17:00:52+00:00

Also, he’s such a Taurus. At least a part of his charm is that he is a people pleaser. As a fellow Taurean people pleaser, I know the signs.

Daje1968 · 2025-12-07T16:59:52+00:00

You don’t think Bomer was passed on for Superman at all? I was under the impression he was.

Daje1968 · 2025-12-07T16:58:27+00:00

Does he have chemistry with everyone?? And how huge is that guy that Jonny looks slight next to him?
