J P @NotZeppoMarx Sep 13, 2026 I only gave it half a star so I could leave a review. It's not watchable. It deserves zero stars. The acting is cringe. The dialogue is eye-rollingly cheesy. The whole production is soooo kitchy and cliche. It's beyond awful. See more Ew I @EWMOVIE May 18, 2026 First off, I have to admit I only managed to get through a few episodes of this before being unable to continue. So I haven’t seen the whole thing, as least I don’t think so!! I can’t have! Secondly, I watched the original three seasons back in the day before I came out and read the first book around around the same time, quickly followed by the rest of the series. The original shows and books touched me very deeply. The fun and lack of fear was the opposite of what I was feeling. This new incarnation surely does not reflect real people in any way does it. Not in the world I see, for sure; although it could just have been the terrible acting, intensely awful script and lack of warmth. I’m woke But this show is just the sickliest version of woke I’ve ever seen. It’s fakeness does our world a huge disservice. The people are fake and irredeemable. Their lives are not real lives. The problems that come up are so contrived and see-through!! Avoid this. Watch the beautiful original. See more Mark S @RT40202855 Jun 28, 2023 What a disappointment. Whoever wrote the screenplay has absolutely no understanding or appreciation for Maupin's characters, his style or his humor. I've read the books at least 3 times and loved the first three mini series... - but this? This was unwatchable and I barely made it to the end of episode 3. I can't imagine how Armistead Maupin must feel about the result. I would be devastated. See more em @RT55375835 Oct 20, 2022 emotional and heartfelt, it feels like a nostalgic ride that celebrates queerness in all the right ways. See more Jan 25, 2020 With good stories and a soft development, the show goes to an necessary and emotional ending which makes it totally worth it watching. See more Jan 13, 2020 I think the season is great because they bring a lot of inclusion for the LGBTQIA+ people and that is so important. Altought it, all of the episodes are fluid and connected they make sense, that's not just an episode... I really think that the TV Show tell an amazing story that was necessary to tell. I loved it but unfortunately it is a limited series but they told us a story that they want to tell as the better they could tell. See more Read all reviews
