As a guy who happens to be gay, the stereotypical effeminate, non-threatening, apologetic, drama-obsessed, superficial gay man is not just overused, it seems to be their only formula assigned to EVERY gay character in this series. It doesn't help that the gay couple tries desperately to be seen as a flouncy straight couple. The best part of being a gay couple is that you're not a straight couple. The always-needy "Cam" character was especially offensive (a word I hate) since it was played by a hetero who obviously subscribes to a small, stereotypical group of gay guys who fit said stereotype and advised him to play the character this way. In fact it's the gay couple who doesn't grow emotionally over the shows arduous run. It's no secret that this ridiculous characterization is the only way to attract the swaths of ignorant, straight, unenlightened breeders thar will watch a prime time show with LGBT characters and not throw a tantrum at the very first lisp...and don't forget to add children to that plot line so that all the precious American "mommies" and "daddies" can relate. News flash: all of your unchecked breeding habits are killing this planet...not just that you're adding more humans to an Earth that is overpopulated just so you can use your parental status to demand attention and special treatment from those who aren't as selfish, but also things such as attention-seeking gender reveal parties designed for attention-needy, thirst trap parents that go wrong and burn down homes and destroy thousands of acres of forest. I guess for It's time (2010's into 2020...ya know..modern era) this show might be ground breaking (for the average American), but the formula is not. The comedy is clever, but the model is redundant and tiresome.

...lies Interview with the Vampire AMC series. Admittedly, I love most things vampire, but typically do not care for the "beautiful vampire"...the exception being Anne Rice. The novel is eloquent and contains various elements of mystique. The film did a good job of capturing elements of the novel and left a lot to the imagination. The AMC series (based on the first 2 episodes) is visually stunning and so far, doesn't skimp on character development or backstory. I would recommend that you watch all of the creative elements that went into this production before you rate it yourself. As of the second episode, I rate it 8 out of 10.

The idea is not new (Kevin Probably Saves the World), but the potential of this series is somewhat wasted. I like the cast, the soft comedy, and the soundtrack, but the continuity is choppy. I recommend watching the first few episodes and if you don't care for it, you won't enjoy the rest.
