It’s been on my queer watchlist forever, does it live up to the hype?

@cal Definitely lives up to the full display of lesbian sex hahaha but some of the characters are so insufferable and I need someone to gab about it with 😭

I watched only 2 episodes and couldn't keep watching it. It just felt so fake and so wrong. It's nothing like the real world in my opinion. I feel like it's made mostly for straight men and their wrong ideas of lesbianism

@shinblue it definitely has an air of like theatrics and over the top-story lines. That’s sorta what has drawn me to it! Interestingly enough it’s produced by a lesbian woman.

I watched the entire series back when it originally aired — was a definite rite of queer passage! The whole show does have an over-the-top POV about it but it makes sense when you get to the finale and find out why 👀

how are you liking it?

IMO it’s one of those, "it has issues now but it was groundbreaking then and paved the way" shows.

@shinblue ohhhhh interesting I never watched the show and that’s crazy to hear honestly cuz there’s def a difference between queer media for queers and queer media for the straights
