Stories from My Gay Grandparents

Right from Episode 1 (S1E1), you know you are in for a treat. Brother and sister, both gay, welcome their grandparents to town. See the description of this series to learn the rest of the premise.

In a wasteland of shows without original ideas and stories, Stories from My Gay Grandparents has such fertile ground for story and character development and possibilities. The Season 1 episodes are less than 15 minutes each, yet the short format is very efficient, tight, and well thought-out for a short comedy.

Although there are moments where the writers need to make sure that characters do not become cartoonish or drop into stereotypes, I will be eager to see more episodes when they drop.

The writing and acting is fast-paced but not overly fast. I feel like there can be more pauses for more serious moments of character development, and there are. But a few more moments like that would not hurt (think David's character development in Schitt's Creek").

Give it at least two episodes to see what you think. Take two, they're small!

This series is hilarious! I laughed so hard that my teenage so. Came out of his bedroom and stared at me. I binge watched the first season in one night! The episodes are less than fifteen minutes each so it is very easy to get caught up in the storylines. I can not wait for season two to be released!

The casting is spot on! Watching the grandparents trying is find themselves is comedic. The horrific looks of their grandchildren's faces at times is sidesplitting.

There are so many potential storylines for season two that I can not wait to see unfurl.

I highly recommend this show to anyone who has an open mind and a great sense of humor.

Watched the first episode and was hooked! Great storyline great acting and just an amazing show! I soooo hope for a second season I'm an older gay man and loved watching the grandparents discover their groove! Can't wait for more. I would love to come to Toronto and be an extra! I have told all of my friends to watch and they are hooked as well. I love that it is filmed on location and not in a studio. I hope in the next season the episodes can be a little longer. Even though the episodes are short it still contains so much content that they actually feel longer! Great job on creating and directing this fresh new series.

For a goofy set of comedic spoofs on gay life, there's a surprising amount of nuanced reality allowing for keen observations on the human condition. The string of camp clichés reveals some deeper points about coming out late as well as being young and out. A generation gap story provides the basis for tender insights. Can't wait for the second season which is set up nicely by unfinished story lines in the last episode of S1. It's a succinct, quick watch where economy of story and plot packs in a surprising amount. I salute the writing of such content within our modern attention span, without lacking meaning. This is a surprising package of romp and belly laugh, and for me, a few teary bits.... But I'm a sad old Queen ...

I'm so excited to leave a review about this show. First, I'd love to say that I appreciate the entire cast for their showcasing their talent around a much NEEDED topic. I wish our community honored our elders as much as the youth is adorned. With that being said, I felt elated after watching the entire season (in a few hours, actually lol) The comedic timing, the topics of loss, love, ambiguity, unspoken expression, and how authenticity is always transferred and evolved and not lost.

The look back in history, the sacrifices put forth for life's evolution, the acceptance of wisdom from the both younger and older people. This is like a modern day gospel, to me.

I'm ecstatic about the second season. The cliff hanger is hilariously inviting. I've enjoyed every episode I've seen and a very pleased viewer. I'm proud to be apart of a community that displays itself in this way.
