It is honestly exhausting to sit through another terrible series like this. I have noticed the same group of actors popping up in several of these subpar Filipino BL projects before, and they just don't seem to get any better. The production value is bottom-tier, the acting is painful to watch, and there is hardly enough plot here to even justify calling it a show. I get that a lot of these were made as passion projects during or right after the pandemic, but it is 2026 now, and there is just no excuse for this kind of poor execution. It really should have just been a quick short film instead of stretching it out. At least it only has six episodes that run about 15 minutes each, so you can fly through it pretty fast if you’re unlucky enough to start it. The plot is about as basic as it gets. We follow a guy named Sam who is stuck in a major emotional rut. He has been in a steady, loving relationship for years, but he can't stop obsessing over his ex, Travis. Apparently, Travis ...
The shootout at the Orlando gay club is a news that many of us will forget anytime soon. But this is not the first time that anything like that has happened. When school shoot-outs have not awakened the conscious of politicians, killing of queer members is definitely not going to make a difference. Through this documentary, we follow a group of 9 individuals, who travel from L.A. to D.C. to attend an anti-gun rally after the 2016 Pulse Nightclub massacre which left behind 48 dead organized by an inexperienced hair dresser.
We meet Jason, who is struggling to make any difference after the brutal massacre and decides enough is enough. Without political experience, he decides to hold a national rally to demand LGBTQ+ equal rights, fight the NRA, and challenge America’s obsession with gun violence. When people all around the country are also struggling with what and how to do their part, this documentary maker, gathers 9 individuals to make the journey to Washington for this rally. These individuals consisting of gay, trans, latin, black, lesbian, bi, ally share their personal struggles and stories about their surroundings and the system in general about US as a country filled with hate, fear and guns.
I feel bad to say that but when this film started, I was really looking forward to the whole gun violence and LGBt aspect coming together and get an insight into the issue. Instead, a large portion of the film is filled with stories of these 9 individuals. They share their discomfort, nervous outbreaks, friendships, RV breakdowns and even a potential love story; which is all fine, but thats not really what this documentary was supposed to focus on when it started. The film maker says that she wanted to bring awareness to how disproportionately gun violence has affected the less privileged members of LGBTQ+ community, but sadly we get to see very very little of that and that too towards the end of documentary. I felt a bit cheated here. I do understand that making of documentaries is exhausting and challenging to keep a right balance view of entertainment and information, which is done well here, but as I mentioned that I was expecting something very different from this one. Having finished watching this, I did not learn anything new or different from hat I didn't already know about gun laws and gun violence in US. This could have been a HUGE opportunity to make a difference and educate people and tae the next step, but it failed in my opinion. (3/10)
