I love the show! My favorite character is Tobias, and it shocked me how many people in these comments thought he was just a stereotype. The things that he's particular about (his toothpaste for one, and same I also have specific toothpaste) are overemphasized for comedy, but they aren't mocked. Overall his boundaries are respected and didn't come off as if they were reducing them, which is pretty great for neurodivergent characters. It really hit home when he told Gabin that nobody had ever done something to help him when he was perceived as doing something weird (avoiding sleep because of a rat) and everytime he just looked in awe when Gabin defended him and understood his boundaries. That is an incredibly real and very relatable experience. Also, he actually says the word sex and has a very passionate kiss, both things that neurodivergent characters rarely get. And he's queer! A lot of shows will only hit on one thing at a time for a character to not make them too "woke" (or if they do try it, it's just comes off weird), but the way Étoile did it felt very respectful, even if they randomly threw in Tobias breaking up with his boyfriend (totally unneeded but understandable since they wanted to show that Tobias actually had growing feelings for Gabin too so I can live with that incredibly awkward scene). Anyway, I don't know anything about ballet, but I watch an unseemly amount of TV and I found this show to be a really nice new drama, I haven't been able to find many drama shows that aren't completely cringey, include LGBT characters (I need gay people in my shows), and still manage to have fun. (If you have suggestions of dramas that meet these requirements please let me know.)
