Hm. Not streamable on Netflix. *pouts* A happy slashy ending does sound appealing. Queer folk have been working through their own (latest) couple decades of angst, unfortunately, and their films would necessarily reflect that. It's like us - fighting through the Reichenbach fallout through fic. This is my third round of it, and I'm really hoping this one does the trick.
One of the things that really hit me in the new Tinker Tailor was poor Peter/Benedict having - like - the worst possible day - ever - seriously ever - no character has ever had this bad a day, even if it actually ended up killing him.
And I love that the early scene we get with Benedict and Colin is all about them ogling the new secretary. We can treat this sort of thing as amusing - everyone who is anyone is hiding the fact that he's gay - ha, ha! But they really had to / have to hide it. And that is so monumentally bleak and sad.
