If you don't know Queer Eye, this is THE reality series to discover!
So that you understand why we love this benevolent and touching series so much, we have made you our own little summary. Five homosexual men, each with his specialty: decoration, fashion, hairdressing/care, culture and food. These five men will change the "banal" daily life of a man who does not pay attention to him both in terms of clothing and food.
- Bobby (decoration and interior design)
- Karamo (culture and self-confidence)
- Jonathan (hairdressing and beauty)
- Antoni (nutrition)
- Tan (fashion)
So yes, on the surface, it looks like a remake of New Look for a New Life mixed with Deco and Master Chef. However, we reassure you, it is much more than that.Each episode deals with a subject, a different person. Every other time, we cry and every time, we laugh (which is rather positive!).
The strong point of the series, diversity.
A grandfather who never wanted to take care of himself and who thinks he is ugly, an African-American who never had the courage to come out in front of his father, a pro-Trump policeman, the profiles are how to say, very varied!
If the team chose to settle in Atlanta, the very conservative and rural capital of the state of Georgia, the Fab5 (their nickname) are also very different. Tan is English of Pakistani origin, Muslim, married for 10 years. Bobby, being truly attached to his religion, has felt abandoned by the church since he came out. Karamo is African-American. All of them shared their differences.
1 episode = 1 box of tissue
Why are we crying? Because it's a team of caring people who help each episode a different person. They are considerate of these people: tolerant in their choices, in their religions or in their political opinions. They are all full of qualities and above all they are touching. They do not hesitate to open their hearts and reveal their own often painful experiences.
In episode five of the first season, the gang deals with a police officer who supports Trump. Karamo, a gay African-American, spends time discussing and explaining his feelings about tensions between blacks and the police in the United States.
They certainly do not have the same political opinions or the same opinions, but Karamo manages to take it upon himself and accept the choice of the policeman. While the policeman manages to understand Karamo's fear when he met him.
One message: tolerance, tolerance and tolerance
What we love about Queer Eye is the message of tolerance. We fight for acceptance. The purpose of the gang is to find commonalities with the men they help, not differences. Solidarity, humor, advice, happiness, and optimism rock these five men.
Seasons one and two are available on Netflix, enjoy it and still prepare your tissues for lots of emotions, recipes, clothes, and especially love in Queer Eye !
