Totally off-topic, but I've been thinking about this since 1000 Stars and now here...
Those MIX crackers look awful, dry and nothing but empty calories and carbs. I feel like if any of the actors actually ate those things, they would end up looking like a tuba, lol.
The special episode looks weird as hell... especially considering that Gene and Nubsib are fictional characters (within the series). Makes no sense whatsoever.
ITSAY was all at such a high level so we are all excited that this part would stay at that high level or even…
Funny you would say that about the first episodes. I've forgotten a lot of the first episode of ITSAY and honestly almost dropped the series after Ep 1 (but VERY happy I didn't). But this Episode 1 had me all the way through! Looking forward to the next.
As a guy guy who's been through it all, I've just watched the whole thing and smiling here with happy tears in my eyes. I know that many posters here talk about how hilarious and funny it was -- and it was! -- but the producers really did their homework here.
I went through all of this... fascinated by the gay world, but denying with every fiber of my being that I could actually be gay, finding myself attracted to guys, but fighting with everything I had not to give in to that attraction... hanging out with and being hit on by gay guys, but not allowing myself to let any of them know that I too felt an attraction, drinking to the point of passing out... all of that.
Now I'm a perfectly happy gay man and wouldn't have it any other way. This series brought back some vivid memories of coming to terms with my sexuality. Thanks to the producers and directors for this! 10/10 for me.
This community got really mad because I made an account the same day I posted my review (I admit I tried to balance…
I really appreciate yopur honest opinion. Gay guy here as well and I've watched a lot of BL over the past 3+ years, so I feel I'm ready to pick and choose, with all the recent offerings.
When I saw that this has THIRTY-SIX episodes at 45 minutes each, well... that's a lot of time to spend and, if I'm going to devote that much time to a series, it better be great.
I'll admit to not being a big fan of this type of "historical" drama, so I've been reading the reviews to try and decide if I want to give it a shot. Your review made so much sense, I have a feeling I would be on the same page as you. Thanks for your detailed commentary.
When will these series ever learn??? Never, never, NEVER end a Season 1 with a cliffhanger! Season 2 often has a way of never happening with BL/LGBTQ series, and here is a prime example. Grrrrr.
I'll write my review now, but this has unfortunately put a big damper on it.
I'll probably watch, but I'm still bothered by the end of the series. Grrrrr.
