The USA remake of a UK original series. This had quite a cast of characters revolving mostly around childhood friends, Brian and Michael, the latter of which had an unresolved crush on the former. It deals with many issues and stereotypes that LGBTQ+ people face. We also see them going through their own relationships and living their lives. There is also a lesbian couple that get an enormous amount of screen time as well. This was more in line with trying to portray a realistic look at the lives of LGBTQ+ people than it was in telling a romance, although there were several of them too, but many of them ran their course throughout the series.
