I really did appreciate the realness of the episode starting with the day she went missing. It showed how transgendered people face the danger in society and how not all of them are able to survive. I just broke down in tears because people today still face the same thing.

Regarding #8, Blanca's HIV diagnosis, something that stands out for me in the scene is when Blanca thanks the medical lady who gave her the results of the HIV test. The lady asks for what, and Blanca says, "It must be hard telling people they gonna die day after day." In what may be her darkest hour, Blanca is still sympathetic toward and considerate of others. Blanca wasn't just Elektra's heart, she was the heart of "Pose."

[@deetie764]

Candy’s death always pissed me off then I realized this show shows the realism of what trans women have to go through and unfortunately that comes with being murdered. Trans women were killed by men at alarming rates and they still are. It’s not all about ballrooms and great reads. It may seem fun but these WOMEN go through so much. I’m sorry to my trans sisters out there. Continue to be who you are and NEVER let anyone tell you different. You’re a beautiful woman and you should be called such. By me? You definitely will be. Be strong! Be beautiful!

Pose was a masterpiece. It should go down in history as a classic. For me one of the most poignant moments was when Blanca and Pray are with the heart shaped stones left for all the forgotten AIDS casualties.

Yes that was very sad especially when you realize all those heart shaped stones are in memory of people and them being discarded like that. After such a devastating disease.

[@toyotacamri23]

When Candy died. Her character never should’ve been killed off.

[@TheDivineOne187]

This was the perfect time to kill her off. It represented what happens to our trans sisters everyday. One minute, you kekeing with them, throwing shade with them,….the life of the party….then in an instance, gone…..and it’s normally someone favorite….just like this episode. In this episode it really could have been any one of them. The hate is random but the pain left behind is not.

Pose told an amazingly important story that needed to be told and heard. Love, family, acceptance, struggle, strength and self love on full display. Thank you to everyone involved in making this beautiful story.

[@AuroraaZaph]

Candy's passing hit me like a train, not just she died in a horrific way but the funeral and the scene of her singing in the ballroom crushed me so much, also the scenes of her vision letting us now much more about her and her relationships with the members of her community were very touching. I loved the fact that when the turn of Blanca with Candy came, they just stayed sitting together humming a song, there was no unfinished business between them two

[@wendylee1213]

As a parent of gay and tran children, on top of being a club kid from the early 90s in NYC, everyone in this show, nailed it. Just brilliant.

The intro to the season 1 finale with Elektra working at show world and being homeless should be up there. It's one of the first times we see Elektra vulnerable

[@christophermcmorris9146]

If not that the scene right behind it between her and blanca. Because the opening is more of a montage.

[@DGsKattKatt]

[@RodrigoAlgorta]

With Private Dancer music. Was a great intro.

[@Kingiwingi8713]

The conversations with Candy and her parents. The honesty of her mother telling her didn't know how to raise a trans child, followed by her dad saying whilst he didn't understand her, he still did the little things cos he knew it mattered to Candy.

[@doesyomamaknowtho1468]

[@1972achin]

Most people to this day understand what the Trans Community did to open the door for gay children, men and women to be accepted. The huge amount of work that they did to bring awareness to the AIDS crisis and today they are continued to be discriminated even by the Gay and Lesbian Community that they fought so hard to protect and get acceptance.

[@angelene2714]

My favorite show ever point blank period!!!

[@derealness7756]

I didn't think Angel's break up with Stan was heartbreaking, I thought it was rather empowering because it was through that experience she learned to love herself

[@BreaAvant]

Yeap I was like he playing both sides anyways she was too good for him. So glad her and Papi got together.

[@tmariethatsme8170]

Angel character was unrealistic.. She knew what she was getting into she knew the game..

[@taiyonnii]

I cried the most during Pray Tell's breakdown when Ricky tried to leave him if he didn't stop drinking, the acting was so real and it really hit close to home

[@keisharay-owens8841]

I couldn’t watch this show with out crying!! Candy’s funeral and pray tells death broke my heart open!!!!

[@isabelamendes9643]

The encounter of Angel with her father was heartbreaking, the way he refuses to really see her is just wow, and sadly so real!

[@BreaAvant]

Right however still getting money from her it's so heartbreaking.

[@tmariethatsme8170]

Naw.. You have to remember the times back then it was different.. But what I didn't like was it didn't stop him from taking her money and he didn't ask where she got it.

[@princesspebble_]

I don’t think I ever cried during the series except for when Blanca screamed when she found out Pray died. And when we found out that he sacrificed himself for Ricky, I cried even harder:

[@waterstar3.144]

The protest where they released the last of prays ashes hits me every time

[@devlynnred2003]

you probably know this already but if you want a real tearjerker there’s footage of the real protest on youtube. it completely breaks my heart seeing what our community went through but remembering our history is so important

[@Dermacrosis]

12:04 the most emotional part of that episode was the discovery of her body by a complete stranger, the cleaner. It is so emotional because that is how many were sadly found.

[@goodvibezz9216]

I have binge watched this show numerous times. I must say I did not expect this show to turn out as amazing as it did. I came out during the early 90s, and everything depicted was exactly how it was. It brought back so many memories of all the beautiful souls we lost during that time, so young, just wanting to be loved in a world full of hate. The scenes of them constantly going to funerals was exactly how it was. Week after week losing 1, 2, 3 ppl within a week was insane. But even though we dealt with that, the times of community was definitely an experience. Unlike now, with lgbtq being so mainstream, back then it was like a world within a world.

Just watched The Pilot episode last night. Finally. I never had the experience of being kicked out of my house as a young person for being gay.

[@christopherbennett5858]

Got my dad to watch this amazing show. It was very much out of his comfort zone but, by the end of episode one, he was hooked. Candy's funeral and Blanca's lipsync in season 2 brought him to tears and Pray's passing, whilst he thought it was handled well and fitting, pissed him off because he'd grown to care for Pray's endeavours. By episode 2, whilst he is a conservative catholic, he remarked about how much Blanca was already a mother to her kids.

[@Kyoukichi]

That is actually beautiful. Amazing.

The younger generation will never know. I watched so many young beautiful people die way too soon. I'm so glad AIDS in the 80s is getting a little attention even though it is painful.
