Blown away
xhzvpmnv9 December 2023
Being one of the few gay men who has survived, hey face it most everyone I know died, this show is by far the most accurate depiction of gay life I have ever seen.

Nothing is glossed over. The meat rack on fire island is even referred to as "church". Which for many it is. This show so gets it.

The actors couldn't be better. Across the spectrum. Nothing is cliched or false. The history, the music, even the haircuts. This is the gay epic I never thought I'd see.

Yet it remains a love story spanning decades.

It's mind blowing how clearly this story is told including all of the complicated and messiness that occurred.

Bravo. Brilliant job. I'm in awe. Thank you.

Weakest Episode
mykl_tour13 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This singular episode seems very out of place with the rest of the tone of the series which so far has been sensational. Very clunky and cringey scenes muddling a gay liberation of fire island, which should/would be in contrast to the weight of the gay liberation movement in San Francisco. It's a good enough premise but it doesn't land. Perhaps translated better in the book but was a mess on screen.

Performances were also odd, which leads me to believe that perhaps there was a different Director for this episode. Hoping the next episode, the finale, is a solid conclusion to an interesting love story.
