As Good As It Gets

Absolutely Fantastic

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Well, I have to admit that I was attracted by the gay element inside this TV series. I really love the feeling Philip and Lukas gave me. But the color of the whole series is too dark and I hate that very much. it's unnecessary and it really makes me feel uncomfortable all the time. This needs to change. Philip Shea is probably my favorite character in this show. He's kind and cute. He knows sacrifice and he is willing to love and give. I'm impressed by this character. I hope that there will be Season 2!!!!

This show is honestly terrific and has many needed themes that need to be portrayed in modern television. It's a roller-coaster of a show, before the 10 minute mark we have a make-out scene and a triple homicide. That is the opposite of boring. It's clear the actors put so much effort into bringing their characters to life. This cast deserves more seasons to come. The kinds of themes include internalized homophobia, gang violence, pedophilia, the foster care system, corruption in the system, and so much more. It challenges stereotypes not just for the LGBT community, but also people of color, parenting, and what a criminal looks like. It's not just intense, but intriguing. We see a million crime shows that all seem to be the same, and this show provides something refreshing and new to the table. 10/10 recommend.

This is the first time on televisions a same sex couple have such representation on a mainstream genre. Furthermore, this show has a solid story line with a strong female lead and multiple significant POC characters. Male characters are very in touch with their emotions. The story unfolds interestingly with details that are carefully crafted. There are different elements for viewers to enjoy, romance, drama, and suspense, each composes the story and nothing feels out of place. The acting is fantastic. The cinematography is breath taking. The two male leads have wonderful chemistry with each other on and off screen. A show this good deserves a place on mainstream television and multiple seasons to tell its story.

one of the boys, Lukas, is very popular, he enjoys motocross and has a girlfriend, Rose. He's terrified of being outed, and goes to extreme measures to make sure he's seen as Extra Straight™. The other boy, Philip, is new to town, he's being fostered by the sheriff and her husband, he films Lukas's bike riding, and doesn't care if people know he's gay. Living in a small town is frightening for a young LGBTQ+ person, and Lukas is relatable representation for the internalized homophobia and anxiety most people face in his situation. Dealing with the confusion of his feelings and PTSD from the murder they witness is difficult, and he's trying his best. Philip doesn't go around shouting that he's gay, but he also doesn't hide it. When asked, he will tell the truth, and he doesn't put up with the things Lukas does in his struggle, but he doesn't shame the other boy for it either. There's also multiple other main characters who get lots of screen time showing their plots, gang members, cops, FBI agents, other teenagers. It's a murder-mystery, so all the plots are tied together in some way, explaining everything.
