Stories from My Gay Grandparents

This show was so funny, cute, emotional, loving....it was brilliantly written.

The actors were perfection. The casting impeccable.

Honestly it is a testament to loving people as they are and embracing their uniqueness.

The series was both quirky and informative. Embracing important history and navigating difficult conversations with loved ones all in a wonderful way.

I cannot wait for a second season.

Absolutely magical from beginning to end. <3.

I wish the episodes were longer because I loved this so much and there just needed to be more of it. I want to share it with everyone I know because it was stellar!

In this series we are introduced to Barbara and Rusty, a seemingly normal married couple from a very conservative small town in Canada. After an unfortunate accident, they decide to move to Toronto and share an apartment with their gay grandchildren, Mish, (not sure on spelling), and Mason. They bring with them the revelation that they have been each other's "beard" for many years but are now ready to be who they were born to be. Watching Barbara and Rusty struggle to say the words at first is something I think many of us can relate to. You would think that they would be at the "We don't care what anyone thinks about us" phase in their lives but letting go of a former identity is never easy. Mish and Mason must get used to life with their grandparents living on top of them while Barbara and Rusty must get used to not only living their new lives, but getting used to not being dependent upon each other as they once were. The other main character, Church Street in Toronto, serves as a foundation for these lives. Mish owns a nightclub there. Barbara's first love worked there. Rusty and Barbara are finding their true selves there.

I really hope season two comes along and that it will still be available to view in the States. It has much promise and potential for true growth.

What a fantastic show. Perfect cast with each character three dimensional. Great drama (albeit nuanced and subtle at times) acting, and great comic acting. Plus the stories were hilarious, camp and honest in perfect ratios. It addresses some very real issues in a very funny way. What a great gift to GLTBQI community. I loved it so much I wanted it to keep going so I binged it from the beginning a second time. The getting ready for the beach segment, and the reaction of those watching had me rolling! Bring on the next season. It definitely deserves a wide audience and to keep making seasons. Brilliant!

My partner and I are a lesbian couple in our 50's we were both in heterosexual relationships for 20 plus years and recently came out late in life. We absolutely love this series. I have two gay children and she has one. There is so much to learn and identify with in this show! Please make a second season. The humor and candor in this show are so refreshing. The Grand children's wisdom and the grand parent naivete are so heart warming and identifiable. The education with terminology and the family bond are so heartwarming and encouraging. I can't believe ait to see what happens next. Love love love this show. It ended too soon.

I just binged all 10 episodes in two sittings. SO funny and so refreshing to see an LGBTQ+ tv show that is real and relatable, not stylised and artificial. The characters and subplots are authentic - it really feels like this show has been made in the LGBTQ+ community, more than any other that I've watched. Great acting and storylines that had me laughing and crying in every episode. It's testament to the writing, production and acting that I feel so attached to these characters even though the episodes are so short. I could easily have watched 10 x 60 min episodes and still be wanting more. I will be sharing it widely among my friends - the community and allies too. Really hope there's a second season and more!!
