Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
本来是想看一个惊险刺激的破案故事，结果没想到意外磕到了一对CP。“我不会丢下你一个人的”，“我会找到你的”。
……
还以为是个悬疑片，结果就是个剧情片(对不起是我没看标签)，故事其实不差，但节奏真的太慢了
“你欺骗了所有人，但你没有欺骗自己。”阴冷的社会掩盖不了跳动的心跳，腐败的权力之下是癫狂无理的玩弄，无知的冷漠拒绝所有的包容，偏见的真理成了肆意横行的旗帜，罪恶的同性恋如草芥般任人践踏，绝望的现实是永远逃不出的深渊。爱与自由的觉醒冲破了所有的阴霾，不自量力的挑战是直面黑暗的坦然，自由终是我们毕生的追求，最后良知的璀璨星光，不过是刹那烟火的悲剧一场。我会找到你的，我会走出阴影拥抱太阳，那是名为希望的未来……
一个小时了, 才短暂的见过arek在日光下的脸
挺惊讶的但也很压抑的片子，波兰人民是见不得自己的同胞幸福，好讽刺，纵使欺骗了所有人，但没有欺骗你自己，这个世界有时候真的很魔幻
B+ 除开straight to gay的噱头，总体还是一部老套的类型片，喜欢男二在审讯室委屈愤怒于一体的表演
剧情不行啊。最心动的是涂鸦后强吻。警官其实好欲的。
好久没有看过这样智商颜值都在线的男同题材影片了，尤其还是在那个充斥着黑暗死亡恐怖的年代，男一的小胡子和男二清澈无辜眼神营造出润物细无声的CP感，导演对于激情戏的视角氛围把握的刚刚好，光影下的肌肉线条交织在一起竟有一种莫名的美感（之前看了很多让人尴尬想抠脚的...)最让我情绪克制不住的是两人被迫在审讯室的第一次对视，两人各自的眼神流转，在男主的一句：够了！之后完美转场，男主被妈妈的一句：但你没有欺骗自己啊.点醒，伴随着越来越激昂的音乐，男主不顾一切的奔向他的爱人，勇敢直面自己的情感去救他。喜欢导演这样干净利落而又很酷的爱的表达.就这样不顾后果的举动让当下的我感动不已...
要不是主角爹干了啥要不就是主角爹认识的某个大佬干了啥然后要主角爹摆平，然后主角查案查到自己身上😂 男主有点像达拉洛阳。。
这部电影是给无数像他们的人的悼词
对这个世界，同性恋们请永远保持清醒，永远保持警惕，有些东西可不一定不会再来一遍。
很不错的类型剧本，除了男主像个瘟神一样，走到哪都有人被杀。

色调、悬疑氛围、配乐都好合我意，是时代困住了追求自由的孤勇…
除了颜值其他都不在线的一部电影，但有可能这就是爱。
ps 跟踪的戏太假了，真是明目张胆的追踪，作为一个警察一点点的反侦察意识怎么会没有..
第一次看Netflix拍这种沉重题材的影片，出乎意料地完成度很高。里面有一句台词大致意思是波兰人最喜欢害波兰人，转念一想，某地又何尝不是如此呢？
哪来的那么多同性恋，异性恋，双性恋啊，归根结底还是爱而已。
不知道为什么，或许带着真实历史事件的滤镜的缘故，观看的过程多了份肃穆和压迫感。主要是悬疑风的剧情安排，披着时代的背景，讲述LGBT群体被压迫的故事。男二这个角色无论是人物的设定还是演员的选择真的特别出彩，水汪汪无辜的大眼睛真的很打动人心，我摊牌了，这片一大半的爱都是因为他。
