[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I just started watching this show and was surprised there isn’t more of a discussion here.

I actually was so disturbed by the first episode that i abandoned it and after seeing it hyped all over, returned a few weeks later. The extremity and promiscuity of the sex, the hard drugs, and violence is shocking to begin with and even more so to see it played out in a teenage population. This could not have been more different from my high school experience, and I wondered who this show is actually intended for as I would sooner cancel HBO than let my teenager watch this. I suppose for twenty and thirty somethings +?

Anyway, once I got past the initial shock of it, most of the storylines pulled me in. Season 2 seems a bit more palatable so far but only a couple of episodes in. The acting is excellent, as usual for hbo.[/quote]
The scene in the gay bar between the young Cal and his best friend in the 90’s was one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen on TV. I am a Gen Xer and was never a huge INXS fan until I saw that scene. Wow. [/quote]

Agree. That was a hauntingly good scene. I’m still thinking about it a week later.[/quote]
I have rewatched that scene three times. The rest of the episode with the other storylines paled in comparison, but the opening scene was pure gold. I will never forget it. Oh, to have that kind of love and friendship, if only for a moment. [/quote]

It was so well done. The music choice, the way things finally culminated for them. Of course we know what happens afterwards where things didn’t work out for them, but I’m glad the characters had their moment. It was masculine but tender. Really memorable.[/quote]
