[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Jonathan Bailey é maravilhoso nesse papel, série muito impactante, crual e real. Matt Bomer também é muito bom (como sempre).

Matt Bomer is remarkable as Hawk, a Washington insider and fixer operating out of the State Department. It's obvious why he was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Miniseries, Limited Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television.

I can't get over how amazing this show is. The acting, the story, the chemistry between them. All while bringing awareness to important topics such as HIV/AIDS and the Lavender Scare. I would highly recommend watching!

Matt Bomer plays a gay man who maintains a relationship with a woman (Allison Wiliams) to protect his career. The character brilliantly created by Jonathan Bailey is also gay, but he's struggling with coming out and his religious faith. This series follows the lives and romance of this couple from the horrors of the 50s McCarthy era "lavender purge" (with Roy Cohn playing a big part) thru Vietnam War protests, disco days and the AIDS crisis. To expand the experience, the decades are also presented thru the lens of their Black friend (Noah J. Ricketts). The duo's relationship goes thru struggles, but their love remains solid, if problematic. The historical background places the love story in perspective thru a political lens. There are also sex scenes which are tasteful, but hot (and may make some people uncomfortable). The show's writing effectively expands their world, while grounding the series in their potent love story. What makes this show so enthralling is the fine performances by everyone, especially the 2 leads, who are continually compelling.

Fellow Travelers feels pre-digested and lacking flavour. The storyline is screamingly predictable, the characters' responses equally so. There are many raunchy sex scenes, but the sum of these defines gay men as sex addicts who never have time to talk, think or communicate, except through their bodies. Maybe that's the point? The actors all try very hard to breathe life where there is very little.

Amazing miniseries with thematically complex historical backdrop. This is one of the year's best dramas.

We’ve come a long way from these days and always hopeful that we grow more tolerant with humanity as we can always grow our understanding through looking toward the not so distant political past. This was a forbidden romance to come out in the open during the time period this takes place in, with McCarthyism at the helm. Not boring, keeps me engaged. Great cast! Would recommend watching! There are several sad yet tender moments these two shared during this difficult time. My heart ️

I am *exactly* the target audience for this show. And yet, I don't like it. The first episode gives too much away. The time period isn't very intriguing. The constant time jumps are confusing because Bomer looks identical 40 years apart. The characters aren't very interesting and they don't behave in believable ways. Some of the acting is good, and that's the only thing that saves it from a red score.

Beautifully filmed, edited and acted. A slice of life of gay romance/life in prior decades. Jonathon Baileys performance is outstanding.

This is based on a true story and it shows the extreme homophobia entrenched in our Government during the decades of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Sadly, it looks like we're headed that way again. The story is acted brilliantly and I was glued to the set throughout. It's a political love story that spans decades. Very well written and acted.
