IN THE EIGHT PART SERIES
They
forge a decades-spanning relationship against a backdrop of
McCarthyism, the Vietnam War and the AIDS crisis, from the 1950s all the
way to the 80s. The series sees Hawkins get Laughlin a job working for
Senator Joe McCarthy. The Senator led the Lavender (and Red) Scare,
which
saw people ejected from government positions for even the
slightest hint of being homosexual.
Hawkins asks Laughlin to spy on McCarthy (Chris Bauer) which adds a
transactional quality to the pair’s relationship.
