The Boy Next Door Episode 15

Four Stars

This is a great mini-series that explores the bromance between two college students. The situations they get into end up creating misunderstandings about their sexualities. It's a wonderful, delightful short series that doesn't take itself seriously. It sets out to entertain you, make you laugh, and just generally make you feel good . . . and it succeeds!

What I really liked about this series is that the topic involved mistaking the main characters for being gay, the story could have devolved into sending a homophobic message. However, the writer(s) for the show seemed very aware of that danger. Not only did the writer avoid that mistake, it embraced the idea of two possibly gay characters without it feel like pandering or being politically correct. Bravo!
