In lieu of a final 4th season, they’re producing a feature length film. Despite the rather saccharine and overly PG vibes, I really enjoyed the vision of a queer teenage life that was actually a life, even despite setbacks like rigid family, mental illness, trans discrimination. I spent most of my teen life at home depressed playing World of Warcraft and struggling to conceptualize what I could even be if I was out of the closet, so in a way it’s a cathartic watch.
I never watched. I feel like there should be shows in the “new adult” category that focus more on gay dating clubbing drama and sex, with less focus on tragedy and high school bs. It’s strange to be like an exotic species in the media when irl half of the people I run into are openly queer. I don’t mean to judge but the way the book and show are marketed seems strange to me
We got Looking and Tales of the City within the past decade. Not exactly a wealth of shows but they’re definitely out there.
