Single, Out

This series shows queer love in such a beautiful way and is a much needed series for us Aussies. Creator Lee Gaela has outdone it with Single Out. It is a 6-episode season 1, with a highly anticipated second season already filmed.

It brings you into the lives of many LGBTQIA+ people through depicting modern dating, the highs and lows of relationships and the budding friendships that come from meeting other people in the LGBTQIA+ community. It closely follows Adam and Clayton (Brothers) and their evolving relationship after Adam comes out as gay and starts dating Clay's best friend.

I have watched the season twice and I must say you will have plenty of laughs, some OMG moments and possibly some tears. The quick-witted humour within this show is next level. Lee and the entire cast are excellent throughout the entire production. It is a must watch show, easily binge worthy and is exactly what I wish we had many years ago when I was growing up.

Clunky dialogue delivered poorly. The quality of everything was below that of a day time soap. The sole selling point is that it's gay themed. Given that every show and advert has some gay representation, renders this show entirely pointless.

It's a very tired theme that reeks of the late 1900s. Please do not waste your time on this and I hope the best for the 'actors' in their career change as being on screen doesn't suit them. If you want a gay Oz comedy, Please Like Me is better written and acted with much wider appeal. If you just want to watch attractive people being dumb, watch Teen Wolf.

Single, Out from director Lee Galea, is a fresh feel-good Aussie series that captivates viewers on a journey through the relatable trials and tribulations of young romance, whilst embracing the love, compassion, support and resilience of the LGBTQI+ community.

The series features stellar performances from an array of young talent, most notably the series lead Will Hutchins (Adam) and his supportive yet fragile on-screen brother Steven Christou (Clayton). You can't help but fall in love with their characters and follow their journeys as the series progresses.

Not only does Single, Out tackle the issues of modern love and relationships with family and friends but also the dilemma many young people face when exploring their sexuality and making the decision to "come out" in today's changing world.

This 6-part series is beautifully crafted, filmed and delivered making it extremely easy to binge (which I did myself on a recent Qantas flight). A credit to Galea and the team.

Like many others, I look forward to seeing the characters and their storylines evolve further in a highly-anticipated second series.

Single, Out is a rare sort of show when it comes to its portrayal of queerness. It is both realistic and quirky, fun and sentimental, and ripe with nuances not typically portrayed in coming-of-age stories about the queer community.

Single, Out tells the story of Adam, a young man trying to balance his hidden sexuality, ambitions and complicated family life. The show does not fall into the familiar tropes of similar shows, as it is so much more than a "coming out" show. It takes time to explore the complications of each character in a realistic and relatable light after Adam has outed himself.

A wonderful cast, consistently terrific writing and beautiful direction make for a cinematic experience as one follows Adam in his journey to find romance, explore himself and connect with the people he cares most about. The raw empowerment the show presents in each episode make for a binge worthy series you won't soon forget.

Move over, Heartstopper (we love your British ways, but this one is for us Down Under)! This Aussie-born series really captures the heart of current LGBTIAQ+ culture. Coming out being a normal experience for some, a secret side for others, and an issue for the old guard to embrace.

The ups and downs that Adam embraces as he comes out, cultivates what he thought was first love (awww!), discovers the gay scene, feels the pain of a fast relationship crumble, and finds himself and the attraction that others have form him, all makes for a series that is too short in time per episode (!) and makes the viewer crave more. Adam's friends and family also explore their sex lives, some more business-like than others... and Marco, you catty car-wash boss!

A fitting show in time for Sydney World Pride, and to see onboard Qantas. The NSFW scenes definitely make for interesting eye-turns from the passenger behind you!
