About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a frank, sometimes racy ensemble drama that mixes romance, humor, and community issues, similar to Looking or The L Word; Not for you if you prefer subtle, low-drama storytelling.
Pros: bold, unapologetic storytelling; emotional highs and lows; memorable ensemble bonds | Cons: often over-the-top drama; uneven realism; lots of explicit sex
