Single, Out

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.

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.

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!

Only half way through the second series and looking forward to season three in 2025 I believe. Well filmed and many attractive actors, and very pretty faces. Not all are great actors, but many are and I also know several as friends. I do a lot of theatre so I am used to various levels of actors starting out. I believe in supporting and encouraging the heroes who venture into a life in the arts and entertainment. I Just wish all the cast were recognised and listed. Goodness even I am on IMDB. It is the bible and essential to start a catalogue of people's work.

Love, mistakes and heartbreak is a common human theme and looking back to early relationships is endearing. The familiarity of first jobs, first loves, first flats is great to indulge in. Find it and give it a go.

I was introduced to "Single, Out" during a Qantas flight, and from the very first episode, I was hooked. This series beautifully delves into the intricate journey of coming out, the complexities of forging new relationships, and the ever-evolving dynamics within families. What struck me most about it was its ability to tackle these serious themes while maintaining a perfect balance of humor and heart.

My admiration for the show was so strong that when the opportunity arose to see it on the big screen, I couldn't resist. I'm delighted to report that the magic of "Single, Out" remained intact, even on the second viewing. It's a testament to the show's quality that it can captivate its audience time and time again.

The ensemble cast is a breath of fresh air, each member bringing a unique charm to their character. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable, especially during the emotionally charged scenes, where their performances shine the brightest.

"Single, Out" is a hidden gem that deserves far more recognition and a broader audience. Its ability to address important LGBTQ+ themes with authenticity and grace while keeping the viewers entertained is commendable.

If you ever come across the opportunity, I wholeheartedly recommend giving "Single, Out" a watch. It's a heartfelt, funny, and insightful series that shouldn't be missed.
