A mixed bag, but mostly good
I never knew that this existed until about a week ago. It's a great concept and concept, but unfortunately the content is mixed. The first three episodes, "The Man on the Platform" with the always excellent Ben Whishaw, "A Grand Day Out" with a mesmerizing Fionn Whitehead and "More Anger" with the, as usual, incredible Russell Tovey are wonderful television and offer crucial and historic messages, but of the final fiv
The 25 Most Essential LGBTQ TV Shows of the 21st Century
25. “Tuca and Bertie” (2019)
What it is: The dearly departed “Tuca and Bertie” was one of TV’s best shows about friendship, dating, and being a hot mess: tried and true subject matter many queer people can relate to. The titular avian duo — impulsive party animal tucan Tuca (Tiffany Haddish) and sensible but anxious tune thrush Bertie (Ali Wong) — have one of TV’s loveliest friendships, as the two total opposites support each other through career and romantic struggles. While the main quixotic relationship of the exhibit is between Bertie and her adorably square boyfriend/girlfriend Speckle (Steven Yeun), Tuca is very much an out-and-proud bisexual bird, flitting around from romantic partners of all genders and species.

Don’t click away — you are reading the right review. This is about Ryan Murphy’s (and Brad Falchuk’s and Ian Brennan’s) 2019 Netflix series The Politician, which in its first season is about the election for student-body president of a wealthy southern California high educational facility full of quirky, mostly queer and racially diverse misfits and popular kids. It is NOT a review of Glee, Ryan Murphy’s (and Brad Falchuk’s and Ian Brennan’s) 2009 FOX series about a tiny midwestern town’s glee club full of quirky, mostly lgbtq+ and racially diverse misfits and famous kids. Except no one — myself included — seems to be proficient to talk about one without the other.
It’s hard to believe that perennial campy gay classic Glee premiered ten years ago this fall, and in the last decade Ryan Murphy’s career has only reached stratospheric levels — including a one-of-a-kind, ridiculously expensive $300 million deal with Netflix that’s seemingly brought him occupied circle. The Politician is, in fac
