In a five-star review of It’s A Sin, NME wrote: “By telling this story through the eyes of warm, flawed and sometimes frustrating characters you’ll care about, it offers a heartbreaking reminder of the countless lives claimed by HIV/AIDS.”
Earlier this year, Davies confirmed that there would not be a second season of It’s A Sin. He explained the Channel 4 drama “said everything I wanted to say” in its five-episode run.
