Aww these pictures are sweet -- not sure of the original source for these photos but here are a pair of set photos Jamie Bell with his co-star Tom Andrews from the shooting of the (dare I say "legendary" gay sauna scenes in Richard Gadd's just concluded series Half Man -- and a good time was had by all! Okay I honestly don't know if any character on this show was ever having a good time, especially when sex was involved, but the actors look like they're having fun anyway! See my scant few posts to date about the excellent Half Man at this link -- I may've finished it a few days ago but it hasn't stopped popping into my head at the most random of moments since, which kind of feels like being punched in the gut if I'm being honest. As good as Gadd's proven to be at excavating trauma maybe for his own sake he should try something lighter next go? I don't want to have to worry about him. But then if I could write scenes specifically for Jamie Bell to have gay group sex in a sauana worthy of Jamie Bell actually taking the role and doing that I'd write whatever I'd think would make that happen too. In summation -- let's get Jamie an Emmy! He should have several awards at this point given his exceptional talent -- I mean he should have an Oscar for his work in All of Us Strangers alone, dammit. Anyway this will hopefully just be the start of the Bell-assaince...

Hello, Mr. Andrews...I really gotta watch this show.
I'm scared of watching this show but I might for Jamie
Ironically, the character played by Jamie – Niall – is so afraid of accepting his own homosexuality that it dominates his miserable life until his “brother from another lover” – Ruben – gives a classic reply when Niall breaks down and, in a prison’s visitation room, reveals that he is gay … no wait: bi … no wait: gay! Ruben calmly admits he suspected it since they were teenagers.
The series, as brutal as it is, has laugh-out-loud moments, and ranks among the greatest in the cable TV series age starting with incredible writing, four award-worthy performances, direction, cinematography, and music (both original and New Wave oldies which help us place the action).
Do yourself a favour and watch it. I am 69 and early this week I got an email from my dad reacting (positively) to the last two episodes which he watched over the weekend!
