Get rid of Mingus, and i will be happy
13 June 2022
The first show defined a generation. Although it was not perfect, it was still a great show. The characters meshed well together. I am happy it came out when it did as the first one would have been cancelled after the first season. It was namely due to its political incorrectness, and its depiction of the gay lifestyle in the early 2000s.

This new one is okay, but it makes avatars of homosexuality. You have the hunk that hooks up with everyone, the nerd, and the conservative one that uses his career to hide who he really is. What I enjoy about this show, is the physical makeup of gay people in society. The first one had six pack abs walking around Babylon. This one has people of all different shapes and sizes. As a bear, I was upset how the first one did not do show us.

The performances in this reboot are a little soap operatic. The characters are great and will develop with time. I love Juliette Lewis because she is fabulous in everything she is in. However, her son needs to be written out. He brings nothing to the show other than unnecessary drama and whining. He is supposed to be the Randy of the group. The difference is: Randy was likeable. If they wrote him out, the show would be perfect.
