[@RipiaKim]

We put too much emphasis on romantic love and not enough on the love of friendship. They really were soulmates in that sense.

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

You're so right

[@lithara5302]

I love one if my gay friends more than I have loved any romantic partner. I am 33 and aside from my father and friend I have never loved a man

[@spiritualempress6691]

Same. My boyfriends my best ride or die friend and that gets us through a lot. Having it purely based on passion, fades and then you’re left with no foundation to keep you together.

[@TA-kp4bk]

I thought this was very romantic, just not sexual.

[@flimsyenthusiasm5769]

yeah, I remember I watched this show first with my dad and they reminded him so much of him and his childhood friend. His friend came out as gay in 1985, took a guy to prom in 1989 and died in august of 1996 from aids. before he past away they danced together because no one would get close to him anymore. TBF it wasn't a dance it was more my dad holding him and swaying.

[@youre_totally_right_but_]

You just can see they really love each other. Even tho its not romantically, it’s very real and deep. I’d give anything to have what they have.

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

Indeed 💯

[@meri9214]

Go for it...Atlanta & San Francisco are full of DL males!

[@lrae9519]

This is how you love, honor and respect, even as you part.

[@heathermetz6576]

Absolutely.

[@annacalifornia6498]

They were my favorite couple of all three. Because even when they were bickering, they still were passionate about each other and Carl was always supporting her and her daughter no matter what. Plus the 50s wife was Trying too hard to be perfect, even the modern wife was also trying to be perfect for her husband. And this relationship they were themselves

[@praxym9293]

Same

[@juliamiller5120]

Romantic or platonic, everyone deserves a partner like this. A ride or die. Someone to love you to your core. Enough to set their own egos and opinions aside and hold space for you to just be.

[@joelse7298]

yup..

[@JessN254]

I am so grateful that I have this. Not romantic but real

[@K9_MAMA]

Remembering how horrible people with HIV/AIDS during the 80s and 90s were treated, and this had me crying for all those who suffered painfully ... alone. Princess Diana really was the catalyst for compassion. I can only hope there were couples who stood by each other, and simplyvchose to keep it quietly private.

[@GKP999]

NO thanks to the Reagans and the Republicans.

[@heathermetz6576]

Cutting onions here. 😢she really loved him to the end and stayed with him so he wouldn’t be alone.

[@annacalifornia6498]

Has anyone else noticed Simone's hair change. In the beginning when she was so upset with the appearance it was flashy. By the end it was just simple hair style

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

Hey makeup also softens somewhat when she and Karl start to come to an understanding.

[@ronnylove1081]

I've never seen this show and I'm tearing up.

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

You definitely should see the whole story ❤️

[@Wxtst.3]

You should watch it. It’s such a good show!

[@roguejester4986]

This scene on this show broke my heart the most.

[@annacalifornia6498]

Me too. So glad she got passed her hurt pride. And realized he was the best man in her life

[@lauriepowell3959]

Tommy was pretty good, too.

I’m 64 and STILL hope to experience a love like this before I die. I didn’t get to watch the series but these clips of Karl and Simone in particular, have been BRILLIANT! 👏🏽❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽

[@nordantill5095]

I hope you will find that kind of love!

[@joelse7298]

Blimey...didn't you get the memo that you need to get a dog!

[@CascadianRanger]

This was love. Pure, absolute, total love. The genuine care and adoration they felt for each other was clear even when they were fighting or she was on the verge of kicking him out or telling him how she would sue him to nonexistance. Still even then the love was there. Because only someone you love completly can make you that mad and hurt you that much. And him telling her that he was in love with Howard, you can see in her face the pain, not for her being cheated on, but for denying him his true love. They would sacrifice everything they had for the other. And in many ways, they did. Best of the 3 stories IMO, which is saying something since the other 2 are REALLY good as well

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

Absolutely agree 💯❣️

[@cailyndempster]

I literally bawled when I watched this scene and was crying for a good 10 minutes... and of course, I just cried again watching this... their love was so real and the seriousness on their faces doing the tango all while he's weak is so hesrtbreaking

[@summersun6536]

may I ask what happened here?

[@lauriepowell3959]

@@summersun6536. You have probably received replies by now. They were married and he was gay, which she didn’t know. They were best friends. When he was diagnosed with AIDS she insisted on staying with him till the end. They made a beautiful, loving couple

[@kitsiewr]

Each of these stories dealt with deep issues in their respective periods. How well those of us who lived through the 80s remember all this.

[@JJIeustice-or5gl]

I couldn’t let him go… 😢 it would be with me, or not at all. ❤

[@evelynwills3641]

So romantic and she's so beautiful!

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

[@Kraliezec]

This show was supposed to be a comedy. But this scene hurts so good.

[@thebookcorner1072]

To do that. To help the person that you love to end their life just so they are no longer suffering is pure love. I just hope that she didn't get arrested.

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

I don't think she did, we see her in the end of the series where she gives the keys to the 2019 couple

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

I replayed the scene, she says that she has raised money for AIDS research and ended up living a very rich life once she stopped worrying about money

[@annaskalka2320]

She didn't.

[@priscilacaviezel3818]

I love JD, he's older but still handsome and charming!

[@Victoria-_]

This scene made me sob so much 😭

[@willcratch7815]

That's HEAVY! Elegant but extremely dark. The magnitude of this particular timeline is cataclysmic. It's very evident that Ms. Liu has studied both Italian and German Opera.....mainly German Opera. Judging by the almost Gothic atmosphere of certain moments within this timeline, I would be inclined to say that her mastery of optics and sense of drama are heavily influenced by one of the Godfathers of Heavy, Herr Richard Wagner. If these scenes were sequenced to "Brünnhilde's Immolation" or the "Awakening" leit motif.....our minds would explode. Bravo......bravo, ma'am.

[@NinnyPoo_theFlabbergastedJoy]

I started crying the moment it started! 😭😭 thank you for cutting the other scenes and stitching just their parts together!! 🥳🥹🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭😭😭🥰 They truly were the best, so you know he would’ve been her guardian Angel and been there with here when she got back into the single and ready to mingle stage! 😂I love how she also never settled down after this marriage. This was the doozy of her life and we can all be content in knowing if we went through that we’d not get married again, just be rich and fabulous and single and be like Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel! Omg she really is legit the same hahah that would’ve been wonderful I’ll have to watch the season over and see if they had an Easter egg in there! Oooh I’d love the show even more for that! (Y’all look up the song “Alma” by Tom Leher, he also sings one of my faves “The Masochism Tango” which also would’ve been a beeeeautiful addition hahah !)

[@NinnyPoo_theFlabbergastedJoy]

Aaaand I just remembered in the second season the lady was named Alma hahahahahah omfg! 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jack_bunny27]

My grandmother has hiv and I know it not as bad as it was in 80s but it still scares me to know she will die for it one day

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

Just did research HIV is the virus if it is trattabiled through medications correctly the risk of getting AIDS is not that high anymore

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

As long as her immune system works she's fine

[@kazior6521]

As long as she takes her medication, she will not develop AIDS. Thanks to the modern science.

[@elvespresley2282]

Dear, diabetes is more deadly that hiv is treated correct and timely. The downside here is she's old and her kidney might not take the medications well. She's more likely to perish due to kidney failure rather than hiv.

[@norlelamahmoodin3669]

I think this house is cursed. All 3 husbands from 3 different stories dies in the same house but only Karl's death is not a murder, but a willing euthanasia. Because the suffering from Aids as the disease progress is painful, so why suffer when you can choose to just gently go. After Karl's death, Simone set up an Aids foundation to help find cures. Its good to find out she had a genuine purpose in her life after Karl and Tommy. Also good to find out that Tommy is successful in his arts and still has that tattoo of Simone's face on his ass. 😂😂
