Review time, I suppose:

I thought it was reasonably well done; for a prime-time TV movie it was
quite impressive.  The characters were believable and not overdone (well,
Michael & Peter's $1,000,000 apartment was a bit much), and Victor's lines
were hilarious!

At first the ending threw me (hey? huh? what happens?) but now that I
think about it, it seems appropriate.  Not as depressing as it could
be (a real downer), but not as rosy either (everything just fine).  A
strange mixture of hope and sadness.

The segment with Tom Brokaw had the facts, but seemed particularly
brutal; maybe I was just tired.  One thing I'd like to know:  what's
the status of AIDS in Africa?  I.e., how many cases, what groups?

Anyway, it was good to see a realistic portrayal of gay people (my god,
they actually said they *loved* each other!!) and their families on TV.
Too bad it had to be about this.
