This reboot of a ground-breaking series hits the mark
Ten years after the previous events, the original group of friends is joined by new faces as they continue their journey through the trials of life and love in Los Angeles.The thing with reboots, most of the time they don't feel as good as the original. Why? Because for most people who got to see the dawn of something fresh and new. It's like trying to catch lightning in a bottle; most of the time, it just doesn't work out.was coming back, I was less keen.
I enjoyed the way that there were more trans people and people of colour in front of the camera and behind the scenes, but I still obviously wish for more. For instance, we get to see a trans man's life in the form of Micah Lee as portrayed by the brilliant Leo Sheng, but why weren't there any trans women? Yes, I know Jamie Clayton plays Tess Van De Berg, but that doesn't mean the character is and it certainly is never unpacked.
I also wish there was more variety in the depiction of lesbians; I want butches and people who aren't a size ten. In essence, I want more of a good thing, and I want more diversity within it. Saying that I know that I sound greedy but I have to ask how many varieties of white men have we seen depicted on TV? Countless right? From skinny ones, to sporty ones, to nerdy ones. I'm just asking to see queer people who are not one step away from being models who gym.
That being said, there are far more ways that I really enjoyed this show than found issue with it, because to be honest, I am hungry for any queer content from mainstream outlets. It might seem like there's a lot but, to be honest, from where I'm sitting, it just feels like we're always relegated to being the best friend or the sidekick.
