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 film follows Bryce on a fabulous expedition across the globe, as he seeks answers from top scientists. He first goes to Chicago and gets into testing of his penile erection after watching few videos and similar test is done for his brain scan. Bryce's arousal pattern and MRI results are unsurprising in that he perfectly fits the homosexual profile. But The documentary wants to focus more on evolution. He interviews a range of experts from zoologists to anthropologists, each with their own intriguing theories as to why homosexuality has survived natural selection. His quest takes him to a farm where he meets a woman researching on gay goat. He also travels to Samoa, where people don't accept openly gay men but acknowledge the third gender. We see his talks with multiple doctors and scientist around theories of nature vs nurture, science, genetics, chromosome theory etc. I am not sure it finds an answer but at just under an hour, the pace is fast and going are funny and entertaining.
One of the obvious things that stand out in this documentary is that the sole focus is on males. No discussion is done on lesbians or bisexuals or any other gender or sexual orientations. You don't really get to learn a whole lot about evolution of gay men from an overall perspective but its reassuring ,multiple times that there is a whole lot of science involved in all this. Its just that we do. Not yet understand the whole spectrum. Th biggest triumph of the documentary is its lively and engaging narration , which is huge win and a big part of that is due to Bryce's personality and enthusiasm. Mixing scientific facts, personal story touches, multiple travels etc make this one for an interesting watch. Don't expect anything ground breaking really. (6/10)
