I tried. We watched four episodes and felt nothing for the characters or cared what happened. Was so disappointed.

I would have rated it 9 based on the promises of the first episode, but the further you get into the series, the more you realize this is nothing but a pretentious exercise of style and a bunch of shallow vignettes that lead nowhere but toI would have rated it 9 based on the promises of the first episode, but the further you get into the series, the more you realize this is nothing but a pretentious exercise of style and a bunch of shallow vignettes that lead nowhere but to vacuity and boredom.… Expand

This show is bizarre! It tries to be artsy and meaningful but it comes across as pretentious and unrealistic... at least I hope people aren't really like this. The story is about a lesbian military couple and their son who move to a base inThis show is bizarre! It tries to be artsy and meaningful but it comes across as pretentious and unrealistic... at least I hope people aren't really like this. The story is about a lesbian military couple and their son who move to a base in Italy. The son, Fraser, is obnoxious and rude to everyone. He's abusive to his mother, calling her the C-word, slapping her across the face one minute then running to her crying the next, and she's weirdly obsessed with him and lets him behave horribly with no consequences, but inexplicably she is also somewhat removed and emotionally cruel. Although they never say it, it's obvious Fraser is on the Autism spectrum. Frasier develops a friendship with Caitlin, who is secretly questioning her gender, and a group of her misfit friends who are always drinking, stripping, and partying. The LGBTQ+ community should be disgusted at how this show portrays them as promiscuous, broken, selfish, unfaithful, and unstable. Almost every character is unlikable and dysfunctional. Even if you don't care about all that, the acting is average and the director tries to be overly creative/artsy doing long moments of watching someone ride a bus, walk, bike, or sit... It's boring and the fast forward button comes in handy. The language, copulating, and nudity seem forced and unnatural and the this is not even close to realistic as far as living on a military base goes. I feel like this show would probably appeal mostly to the teen and young adult age group but I hope that they wouldn't be attracted to this mess of a show or be influenced by these characters who are completely far-fetched and perverted IMHO.… Expand

My name is Kevin Clarke I spent 12 years of my life directing gay porn with safe sex messages. Just watched this and can safely say it is the most revolting anti-gay and Trans thing I have ever seen. It dresses up itself in using every thingMy name is Kevin Clarke I spent 12 years of my life directing gay porn with safe sex messages. Just watched this and can safely say it is the most revolting anti-gay and Trans thing I have ever seen. It dresses up itself in using every thing it can to say it is alright to think the way the characters do. Sadly it ends by the two young people going to see the most beautiful thing in the world. It turns out being gay or trans is a thing you grow out of and realize that the most beautiful thing in the world is your discovery of your hetero sexual truth. It is shameful and degrading. It is like the story of a girl who goes to a clinic to get an abortion to find out that it is not a clinic at all but a place to proselytize about abortion being evil. This is shamefully that. Obviously the filmmaker deserves most of the blame the lead actors should be ashamed as well. They brought along vulnerable gay and trans youth led them to believe that their inner most feelings were valid. Then ripped their hearts out and dreams crushed by telling them if you want to see the most beautiful thing in the world it;s the realization that you need to be straight to find it. Just like your bigoted parents told you. I;'m not sure what is worse. Telling this story, or not realizing that vulnerable gay and trans youth would be damaged by the bait and switch. Luca Guadagnino this ends up with blood on your hands. Next time you read or hear about the suicide of a gay or trans youth ask yourself did I do something to stop this? or to facilitate it.When I was making video's I was trying to keep people alive. You didn't care.… Expand
