A Show Destined to Outlast the Longest BL Ship
Two decades ago there was a cop show called The Wire that told its story on its own terms about the decline of an American city, and the growing distrust of institutions, all of which have played out just as the show had warned. Today college courses are still taught about that series. While obviously completely different, Gel. Boys is way more than a Thai BL genre show. It’s a cultural touchdown about the messiness of teenage years in ane the age digital superfluousness. The more connected we become more disconnected we are. Gel Boys told its story unflinchingly and on its own terms through images and words not spoken.. You had to work to see the layers of the onion that Boss and his incredible crew and cast were pulling back Gel Boys makes you feel things and sometimes it’s uncomfortable. But it’s honest, cathartic, and truly a work of art. Put that show in a time capsule It will outlast the longest BL ship and remain relevant.Was this review helpful to you?
