Videoland

Love nostalgia, love queer stories; hate bad acting, bad writing and so much second hand embarrassment you want to die.

The premise of the show is great and has so much potential behind it, but it is ruined by the over the top delivery and cringey writing. What it thinks is funny, really isn't. There are some great nods to 90's queer culture, and it would have been more triumphant had it leaned more heavily into that, but instead it tried for cheap laughs that didn't come off.

There are some poignant moments that probably wouldn't hit better without the director casting herself into the older queer mentor role. It just got lost in what felt like a high-school short film.
