Really ambitious miniseries has a number of scenes with considerable emotional power, but it's often maudlin and awfully pretentious. The lead characters are gay men and straight women. The male characters were convincing, but the female characters were thinly drawn. Mary Louise Parker's character was an insufferable flake. All of her lines of dialogue were really purple, and I felt she was more cruel and selfish than the bombastic Roy Cohn. The ultimate subtextual irony is that none of the characters seem to realize how they've been poisoned by politics. I don't think Kushner even realized it. A mixed-bag.
