    The Queer Eye reboot finds perhaps even more pathos than the original one. The transformation in the premiere episode is a heartwarming hoot. But with a cast of attention-seeking experts who too often steal focus from the proverbial mission at hand, it can be as exhausting and, at times, even as cringe-inducing as some have feared.

Sadly, the hamming is dialled to 11 and becomes a thinly veiled attempt at filling dead air, 3 grown men are perfectly capable of entering a mattress store and appraising the wares without regressing to their childhood years in the Mcdonalds playpen.
    I applaud the agenda of encouraging tolerance and acceptance, but it just seems overbearingly forced.
    The only points I can give are for the sensible moments between all the cringe and ham acting, where some decent grooming and lifestyle advice is given.    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. As a late in life gay man, I actually really liked all the episodes, but in episode three where they help a beautiful black gay man named AJ come out to his step mom was extra special. Him and his boyfriend are mighty fine.... I thought each episode was sincere and heart warming. Then in episode 2 where a white police man and a black man have a moment , it is hard to fabricate and force the sincerity they were sharing, and I felt it could help a lot of straight men relate to gay men or white men relate to black men. The USA needs the kind of healing this show can offer. The little touches they add which are unique to each makeover really draw you in as an audience. Maybe I could get a makeover one day too!!

    Get all your straight friends and family to watch, they'll love it!!!    … Full Review »

    Overacted cheesy stereotypes regurgitated for the masses - None of the 'characters' are remotely interesting or even funny! ... don't bother
