When We Rise Season 1

It’s too bad, then, that ABC’s bloated, self- serious miniseries When We Rise (debuting Monday, Feb. Spanning more than four decades of the gay- rights movement in four two- hour installments, When We Rise fictionalizes the stories of three real- life activists — free- spirited rebel Cleve, brainy feminist Roma and former Navy sailor Ken — as they fight for acceptance, from San Francisco’s Castro district in the ’7. Supreme Court’s decision legalizing gay marriage in 2. That’s a lot of ground to cover, and Rise. But those stars don’t show up until Part 3 of the miniseries, which means we have to get through four hours of prologue just to catch a glimpse of them. Parts 1 and 2 only feature the younger versions of the characters in the ’7. NBC’s The ’6. 0s, with shallow characterizations and too- obvious music cues.

In the go- go ’7. Cleve campaigns for doomed gay politician Harvey Milk, Roma battles for lesbian representation in the women’s- rights movement, and Ken comes to terms with being a black war veteran who’s also gay. But they’re all just walking, talking textbooks rather than fleshed- out human beings, rattling off exposition and making grand proclamations about their place in history.

And When We Rise feels too sanitized for network TV, with chaste sex scenes and violence that never gets truly ugly.

When We Rise Miniseries

RELATEDBig Little Lies Premiere: Are You Sold on HBO’s Rich- Moms Miniseries? I hoped Parts 3 and 4, with the older actors taking over, would redeem When We Rise — but if anything, it gets worse. The older actors don’t resemble the younger ones at all, so their stories don’t feel as connected as they should. And the plot slows to a crawl as Cleve, Roma and Ken’s stories turn from political to personal in the ’8. AIDS crisis and the legal fight against California’s Prop 8. After neglecting to establish who these characters are beyond their beliefs in the first two parts, the miniseries asks us to get invested in their internal struggles in the last two, and I started to long for the kinetic ’7.

Rather than a living, breathing story, it feels like homework — and at eight hours, a lot of it. While watching When We Rise, I kept thinking of all the other ways I’d rather see this story told: Maybe if they focused on one activist’s story or one time period, or maybe if it was on cable, or maybe if they scrapped the script and just made a documentary instead. Ultimately, though, When We Rise is what it is. It sets out to be the comprehensive historical record of gay rights in America, but its unwieldy structure and clumsy writing make it more of a footnote. THE TVLINE BOTTOM LINE: Despite good intentions, When We Rise.
