“Home Par” Movie Review
This is an excellent example of what you can do when you have a robust focus on a story to tell even within a short time frame. This gay short film is all of 22+ minutes long and has a powerful message. What is that message? Determination and Acceptance.

“My Friendship: S1 & S2: Before The Rainbow” Series Review
Though it may not be necessary to watch part 1 before part 2, it might make more sense to watch it since part 2 is the prequel to part 1. However, I watched part 2 before the first series.

For many, it is their life-long dream, but it is paid at a very high cost.

“Oxygen” Series Review (Ep.1 to 13)
Talking about a particular style of boys-love show with a sweet and adorable plot, I suppose Oxygen the Series has the correct vibe. I’ll go ahead and begin by providing you with a thorough synopsis of the series’ main themes.
“Smiley” Series Review (Ep.1to 8)
This is a love story on different levels and complexities, all done very well. The central focus is on, however, an on-again-off-again-on-again unlikely gay relationship.
