A very good series which I saw all in one go. I couldn't stop!

It tells the story of San Francisco before the Aids era from a fresh and new point of view.

The series had a great succes being printed as a sequeal in a San Francisco newspaper. Armistead Maupin is a wonderful writer who gave us an inside view of his world.
