ambisextrous comic camp with substance of the highest order
I think the reason I loved this series so much was the fact that it was just so frenetic and unbelievable. It's believable in the sense that the characters have real emotions and act with great humanity and humour, but can I really be expected to believe that they all have such fabulous wardrobes and hair? The series centres around Kwame and his kidult, queen, dad, Max.
Kwame wants his two dads to get back together but Jordan (the ex) is seeing another guy. Meanwhile, Dean, Kwame's best friend is in love with Max and stuck in the middle of a destructive, abusive family life. Max's sister Cindy is enjoying her first weekend alone with her partner Doris in their eight years of parenting and can't stand the sudden silence. The guy who works at the skate park, owned by Max, is an immature, fun-loving punk man who can't commit to his 18 year old boyfriend Bambi (also friends with Kwame and Dean).
Then there are Gerry, Tal, Lola, her dad, Kwame's girlfriend Asher, her best friend Jaye, and others. If that's not enough characters to make your head spin, you must be a god. The series never settles down and is fast paced until the fnal, climactic episode of the six part mini-series. Every moment is packed with witty dialogue and fabulous hairstyles. It's funny, it's political and best of all, unlike most queer TV shows, IT'S NOT PREACHY!
Of note, also, is the music. Composed for the series, it fits seamlessly into the action and the characters even burst into song every once in a while. The credits are different for each episode and highlight major themes to come. It's like getting a little taste of the batter before the cake's been cooked. And it is good.
