    By the end of the first episode, we were rooting hard for Andy, Gabriel and Jake to become a strong family unit, which is certainly a product of the show’s strong performances and inventive storytelling.

    This is a drama which is tender, uplifting and candid without being slushy.

    It has a huge heart and a clear eye on melodrama: no episode goes without a musical number. It is a lot of things, all at once, and mostly, it holds it all together with panache.

    Don’t let the whimsical title of the series fool you: this is meaty, experimental and deeply moving television.

    It might not achieve all that it sets out to, but Lost Boys and Fairies is a solid, well-meaning, and ultimately powerful miniseries that serves as both an ode to the queer community and a love letter to the ties that bind us and make us thrive as humans.
