Maybe if this was made/set 20 years ago, Justin being diagnosed with full-blown AIDS would be a reasonable story development. But in America at least, if I'm getting my information right, access to anti-retrovirals has all but obviated that problem. It just comes across as contrived. And, honestly, most everything from Season 2 onward is. The first season was pretty good, if flawed, and I still stand by my old claim that it feels like a combination of the first two Godfather films in high school, but, of course, we all know how Part III turned out, and this time, they spread it across THREE FUCKING SEASONS.
