'Pose' greenlit for UK audience: Here's why Ryan Murphy's groundbreaking series is a must watch

The series didn't necessarily make waves when it first aired but it made history by assembling TV's largest LGBTQ+ cast and crew. This show definitely deserves more recognition.

Ryan Murphy's critically acclaimed FX series 'Pose,' has been greenlit for the UK and will premiere on BBC Two on March 21, at 10 p.m. The show has already created waves globally, not just for the awards it keeps bagging, but also because it is the only show to cast over 130 LGBTQ+ actors and crew. 

Set in the backdrop of 1980s New York ballroom drag culture, 'Pose' follows several characters as they navigate through various social scenes fraught by difficulties of the Reagan era. Addressed as a musical, there's glitz, glamour, a thrilling heist and showdowns at different ball houses, but there's also an unparalleled stroke of harsh reality as our endeared characters battle the AIDS epidemic, and the show, at large, looms with a lot of political references to the current scenario.
