    In the end, this show may wind up going the way of Rectify, an almost pure form of character drama in which storylines take a backseat to the sheer pleasure of watching a human being evolve before one’s eyes, as David Young does on David Makes Man. Either way, I know I'll be watching.

    Each episode contains and depicts its distinct arcs with sure-footed certainty, although visuals are meant to seduce us and make us question if what we’re seeing is real. But McCraney, who co-wrote the Oscar-winning “Moonlight,” ensures there is a reason behind each dreamlike flourish.

    Coming-of-age tales are nothing new, but few have the authenticity and poignant power of David's. [19 Aug - 1 Sep 2019, p.13]
