As someone who was eager to tune into ABC's "In Our Blood," I have to say that I was left disappointed and underwhelmed by the show. What initially seemed like a promising concept ultimately fell short First and foremost, the musical interludes. Oh god the musical interludes. They were so bad that I had to look away. The frequency of them was so unpredictable that it seemed like the show forgot what it was. Was it a drama? Was it a musical? Or was it just bad? One of the biggest letdowns was the show's execution. The pacing was all over the place, with episodes feeling disjointed and poorly structured. The acting was poor and cliched, making it hard to connect with the characters on an emotional level. Some characters didn't seem to serve a purpose at all. The character Tim (the male nun) was a character that didn't add to the story at all and often took on a heavily stereotypical portrayal of a queer man. The character Michelle I also found to be of no value to the storyline either. Honestly a really strange move by the ABC to release a show that appears to be so low value in its production.

Wow.... this one... this one is hard to put into words because I knew friends that died from HIV/AIDs during those years and to see how it could be portrayed here was how everyone felt, scared, angry and nervous 'could it happen to me'. ABC chose to do this and boy did they deliver something that is still a massive threat to everyone, the issue of HIV/aids hasn't gone away, the story to tell is still there and everyone who worked on this did a wonderful job bringing to life. While I did have a few gripes with some of the acting choices by the actors and the weird placement of the 'music element' this was done so well. It could've done without the singing but it's worth watching how the response was handled, how emotions were at the time and how the world reacted.
