Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Premiered in 2000 when Ellen's coming out was still recent history; Showtime's first hour-long gay drama, it predated Will & Grace's cultural dominance and paved concrete for Pose and Euphoria.
The US series was actually a remake of a UK original—creator Russell T Davies later revived Doctor Who and made It's a Sin, completing his unofficial queer television trilogy.
