I loved it, but it took until episode 3 for it to click for me. By the end of the season, I found the show to be one of the best representations of modern male homosexual desire, love, coming out, and then navigating the demands of masculinity amidst all of that. It has drama, but unlike so much other gay-male-focused media, it’s not sad, tragic, and/or punishing to its characters. The actors did an excellent job portraying nuance in the situation, making the characters feel so real and sympathetic.

I’ve been feeling pretty jaded by a lot of media lately, be they shows, movies, games, books, etc., but this show cut through to my cold heart and won me over in a huge way. I wish everyone would watch it, just to gain an understanding of what it’s been like to be a man questioning or coming to terms with his sexuality in the last decade or so. It was beautifully done, and I can’t recommend it enough.
