Sam and Natalia look back at the hit Channel 4 TV drama, IT’S A SIN.
IT’S A SIN follows a group of gay men who move to London in the 1980s, depicting their lives across the ensuing decade as the HIV/AIDS virus begins to spread.

The five-episode limited series was acclaimed during its initial release in 2021, becoming the most binge-watched show on the All 4 streaming service. But does it still hold up?
