A Revry original, Unconventional is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...
Adam, a street hustler who has just about given up on life. At the start of the film, he’s picked up by a mysterious trick whose seemingly sinister intentions go largely unnoticed. Adam can’t even muster up the energy to care about his own fate. He accompanies this man to his isolated home in the desert and soon finds himself held captive – stuck at the mercy of a psychopath whose dark history prevents him from understanding the difference between reality and his own murderous fantasies. As Adam sits locked away in confinement, he finally begins searching his soul… and finds himself faced with an important decision. Should he give up on life completely… or fight like hell to keep it?
This was supposed to be a homoerotic horror thriller. But it was none of it. Our protagonist is supposedly a street hustler, but is he gay or not is irrelevant to the story. The hot dude Japser who kidnaps him also doesn't really make any move on him. What I did not understand was when Jasper kidnaps the other guy Lucas in episode 2 , was that in real time or were we being shown something in flashback, like how Jasper came to become that he did. There is this older guy who is lurking in the background. Then suddenly there is a scene where a drag queen is helping out Adam in bed. This is one of the worst things I have seen and almost none of it made any sense at all. Also was it really in gay genre? These 2 folks could be regular guys and still would be as bad. (1/10)
