Sort Of

Lockdown has narrowed my circle of friends and people so I loved engaging with this unique story of Sabi. They are beautifully complex and I was hooked from the first episode. It's clever in offering insights into the LGTBIQ community as well as pressures of migrant children. Support characters are also unique and engaging and I learnt how to use the pronouns 'they' and 'them'.

I was feeling just OK about ep's 1 and 2, but the third ep. Really found me getting into the character and identifying with their feelings and issues and struggles.

If you're unsure about this show after 2 episodes, I recommend sticking with it. It does get better, and it is well written and draws you in.

I think for trans viewers this show offers a lot of representation around the different relationships we have in the world and around us. The show feels grounded in reality. I love the writing, and character development. It's nice to see our stories represented in a way that doesn't feel sensationalized for cis people. There is an earnestness, and genuine feeling to all of the characters. I think one of its greatest strengths is how regularly it shows people establishing boundaries. It's willingness to broach uncomfortable conversations around things that may seem obvious, but are so easy to avoid. It has the watchability of comfort TV, without feeling canned or too similar to any of its counterparts. It has heart, It's fresh, and smart. It feels like real life, and I love that. There's an ease, and effortless about it, even when grappling with real life's awkwardness. It's just a pleasure to watch. I'm so glad to live in a world where Sort Of exists. Make more of it, and support this show!

This is one of the few shows that is authentic to the gender-fluid/nonbinary experience. I found myself relating to so much of this even though I'm in a different stage of my life. We need more shows like these, with diversity, telling stories and highlighting voices that are not usually heard. The characters are flawed, but they also feel very real. I really enjoyed the first two seasons and I hope that they continue it with a third. The show tackles a lot of difficult topics and does a beautiful job of demonstrating how messy life can be for all of us. Great blend of family, friendship, and romance.

I seriously don't understand why people are rating this show so badly it is a good show indeed, The acting is great the writing is there too, there is some drama, there is comedy and the show is indeed different, The only thing that I don't quite understand is the end because there is not really an end and I'm glad about the show is refreshing.
