I enjoyed it. As a fan of the originals - both the UK and the US version - I was really excited about the reboot.
To start: it is true what most reviews say; they are trying to be all inclusive or 'ticking all the boxes' as the haters say. But I don't see the bad in that. It's a show about the lives of LGBTQIA+ people, of course they're going to want as much representation as possible. And they should. And in my opinion, it doesn't hurt the plot. The acting is ok. Ryan O'Connell is hilarious and definitely a scene stealer. Same with Kim Cattrall. Johnny Sibilly is great too. But the main character, Brodie, his acting is not for me. Maybe that's because he is very much unlikeable; he's arrogant, pushy, self-centered and annoying (but maybe that's the point, I don't know). All the other characters I like.
I'm torn about the plot. It's all wrapped around the shooting in the first episode. The trauma that follows is heartbreaking to see and is well acted. However, in my personal opinion, I would have liked it to be a little bit more light.
