Russell T Davies' snapshot of the 1980s AIDS epidemic as it hits British shores is available to stream in countries around the world right now. To watch It's a Sin Stateside, all you'll need is HBO Max.

Olly Alexander, Omari Douglas, Callum Scott Howells, Lydia West, and Nathaniel Curtis make up the wonderful ensemble residing in the Pink Palace, liberated teens in London swept up in the colorful LGBTQ+ scene. When AIDS begins to take the community by the chokehold, It's a Sin unravels as a tribute to an often overlooked period in Britain's recent history, as well as being a testament to the value of true ally-ship. 

  • HBO Max: See deals and offers

Originally landing first on Channel 4 in the UK, viewers in the US can now bask in the critically acclaimed story of Ritchie, Roscoe, Collin, Jill, and Ash too with an HBO Max membership as It's a Sin landed on the service in February.

Setting you back $14.99 a month, it's certainly more expensive than other streaming services out there like Disney Plus, it's worth noting how much content you'll be able to stream on HBO Max with a whole host of TV shows to binge, as well as movies. Want more of that British grit? You can watch I May Destroy You from the fantastic mind of Michaela Coel. HBO Max customers will also benefit from all Warner Bros 2021 movie releases, coinciding with their theatrical release, including titles like Dune and Judas and the Black Messiah.

Unusually, the US is actually one of the last to release It's a Sin, with options to watch It's a Sin in the UK, and Australia, with a Canadian release still somewhat up in the air. Keep reading to find out how to watch It's a Sin wherever you are.
