The latest queer show on Netflix is a fun, cute, supposedly comfort show that takes you through a whirlwind of very superficial emotions but, as with any Netflix show, you’re left bracing yourself for its cancellation. Netflix has a history of setting up queer shows for failure, so I will not begrudge the cast or writers (to some extent) for putting out what they put out and will review the show on its merits. (WGA strong and pay the writers). I, however, cannot stand love triangles, and I will not apologize for that.

Beside him is the cynical Joshua, who can be described as prickly. Andre navigates the city of Los Angeles, debuting his powerful short film and winning an award for it.
