just seen it over WOWOW...anyone...?
Personally, I think at the very least it's a unique, perhaps controversial way of telling a story that's purely judeo-christian in scope.
Tip to enjoying the show: don't take it seriously ^^

My sister has the whole series on DVD. I haven't watched it in its entirety, only parts.
It is an amazing series about the AIDS epidemic in America in the early and mid 80's. The symbology/hallucinations are amazing, with stars like Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson.
And yes, it is not meant to be taken entirely seriously, despite the very real and serious issue. If you watch it, watch it with open minds, hearts and eyes. Don't watch it if you're liable to be prejudiced, have preconceptions and suffer from squeemishness.
