It even says at the beginning of the episodes that it’s filmed in front of a live studio audience.

Is it a laugh track? Because I swear in some episodes you can hear someone stifling giggles in the lead up to the punch line or snort laughing, and why would they leave that in?! (And maybe I just want to believe...)

This show was utterly tone deaf and misses the point altogether.

This is the only modern show on air that can get me to look past a laugh track, and that’s pretty much the deepest compliment I can possibly give. It’s been so wonderful to see how well they’ve all clicked back into their respective roles - still one of the best core casts from any sitcom, pretty much ever.

I cry every episode.

This is an interesting perspective on a show I absolutely adored (and one that Netflix can renew for a second season any day now). As a gay man, the thing that constantly surprised me was how these 5 out and proud homosexuals were accepted in what I think of as Trump’s America. It really did give me hope of a better…

I cried at the one where the guy came out to his stepmom and the one with the churchy southern family that made a big deal about how they don’t hate gays.

I agree with you, and the rational part of my brain knows that human connection and reaching out are ultimately far more effective than bitterness.

It’s good to see compassion and authenticity (in this case, the guys just being who they are) change people’s views. Some need to meet members of a marginalized group to open their minds (I’m thinking specifically of the firefighter). Activism and fighting for a cause are awesome, too, of course. But this show isn’t…

I binged the entire series in a day when I was sick as a dog on the couch, and I cried like a baby watching most episodes. But like, happy-crying. I loved it so much. I’m a woman, but I found myself identifying with most of the subjects in one way or another. I really hope they do more episodes, and soon. It is a joy…

I need this. Badly.

I have to admit, I had a rather cynical opinion about it based off what I’ve heard. “Five gay men, including two gay men of color, reach out and help people who had no hesitation or shame in voting against their basic rights and humanity.” Before you chastise me, YES, I realize that’s a reductive opinion, and worse…

Firstly, thank you for calling out the police storyline. Many outlets seemed to praise that episode as inspiring and progressive for tackling that subject, but it mostly just came across as uncomfortable and unnecessary. Same goes, to a lesser degree, for any instance of the show trying to address larger…

I remember reading somewhere that the show is open to making over women in S2, too.

Did they really change the name just to keep it shorter? I assumed it was because not all the guys are straight anymore.

You clicked on the article, read it, and then commented on it.

So... you?

Growing up in the 80's as a disabled kid who was really really into science, I cannot overstate how much of an inspiration Hawking was to me.

“Apparently showrunner Jason Katims wouldn’t have been able to relate to a gay character as well as a straight one because Katims is straight. Yikes.”

Saying “pew” adds +2 to damage. It is known.

The headmaster has always had special privileges. I’m sure he’s able to give ministry wizards permission if he wants to.
