(CNN) In the second episode of new TV drama, "It's a Sin," a young woman named Jill comes to check on a friend who's been unwell. "It's a Sin" isn't a show about the current Covid-19 pandemic. When Jill scours herself after visiting an HIV positive friend she is, of course, wrong to imagine she's at risk. This is AIDS history for a generation who believe gay life is something to be celebrated and that celebration always means a party. But this generation of viewers will grow up with a youth scarred by the Covid-19 pandemic.
