Olly Alexander

Olly Alexander is Ritchie Tozer on It’s a Sin, the voltage inside Davies’s five-episode London chronicle. Joy first: cheap flats, club nights, chosen family. Then the devastation the hours refuse to blink at. Alexander sells the charm that makes the loss land; the ensemble chemistry is the argument. Not a prestige funeral from minute one — a life, then the epidemic as weather. It's a Sin ran 2021 on Channel 4/Max; Alexander is already on that clock as Ritchie Tozer.

On TV Flash he is 2020s short-run heat with emotional clarity. Five episodes, no bloat, a series you carry. We file Ritchie with the catalog of Davies at full volume: friendship as the real plot, the dance floor as a clock, a lead who makes the tragedy feel like people instead of a pamphlet.

Alexander on It's a Sin is a Channel 4/Max assignment with two honest doors. s01e01: Hour one as joy-first contract: cheap flats and club nights, Russell T Davies assembling the chosen family before anyone asks the decade to hurt. s01e02: Second hour still letting pleasure lead: Davies refusing marble-statue prestige, the flats and nights remaining the point of the tragedy later. Watch Ritchie Tozer as weekly labor, not as a caption under a still.

Olly as Ritchie Tozer is the engine; the ensemble still has to live in the blast radius. s01e01 is the clean start if you want Alexander without a lore binge; s01e02 still shows the turn. Keep the watch inside It's a Sin. The 2020s living room already knew how to use him.
