It’s a Sin is the heartbreaking TV drama about the 1980s AIDS crisis that everyone is talking about, and its incredible soundtrack is definitely one of the highlights.
The first episode aired on Channel 4 on 22 January, with a new episode being released every Friday. Meanwhile the entire five-part series was also made available on streaming service 4 On Demand in the UK.
