One unnecessary twist aside, this is a gorgeous show about how having children can bring the best and the worst, or both, out of humans. Go to Full Review Scott Bryan BBC.com Jan 8, 2025
Must Watch
I think for what this is trying to do and for bringing you into a process that you may know very little about, you may know a lot about, I thought it to be really interesting and that’s why it’s a Must Watch for me. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) Jun 20, 2024
4/5
What I liked about this story is that it surprises you. There are laughs where you don’t really expect them and sadness when you didn’t see it coming. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Mar 14, 2025
4/4
Witty, funny, exotic given the Welsh and queer nightclub métier; completely relatable and soul satisfying with twists and turns that reflect our values and wish to be better human beings. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Mar 6, 2025
By the end of the first episode, we were rooting hard for Andy, Gabriel and Jake to become a strong family unit, which is certainly a product of the show’s strong performances and inventive storytelling. Go to Full Review David Caballero Collider Mar 3, 2025
7/10
It might not achieve all that it sets out to, but Lost Boys and Fairies is a solid, well-meaning, and ultimately powerful miniseries that serves as both an ode to the queer community and a love letter to the ties that bind us and make us thrive as humans. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

W D @retro597 Feb 26, 2026 The show is engaging and viewers can easily get fully invested. That's the problem, you get invested then the writer(s) rip the carpet right from underneath you. Playing the audience is always a terrible route to take. See more Chris J @surruk51 Feb 9, 2026 You will feel every possible emotion watching this series, but ultimately you will come away enriched. See more SuperFrank C @SuperFrank Sep 24, 2025 So beautifully written and executed. A must watch. See more Joey R @RT71732801 Jul 6, 2025 Beautiful story and I felt seen in so many ways - relatable and so happy and so sad... I loved it See more Taj M @RT67826069 Apr 7, 2025 My sad tears mixed with my happy tears. Just beautiful. See more Ty M @RT81742873 Mar 25, 2025 I’ve worked in the foster care system for 30 years and I really thought this movie would be no big deal. But I was incredibly wrong. Make sure you have tissues handy and enough time to watch the whole series at once. You won’t be able to stop after just one episode. 5+++stars See more Read all reviews
