I thoroughly enjoyed the latest season 8 of Queer Eye. I was a bit disappointed with the previous seasons because the show was simply not that engaging and quite repetitive, but season 8 is a breath of fresh air! Each episode is a lesson in life and trauma and how people bounce back after being shown how to look after themselves. Episode topics tend to be social issues like disability and healthcare in America but they are treated with carefulness and respect. And yes, the Fab Five can be a bit annoying at time, but stick with them. A good binge watch that makes you feel emotions and can be finished in one weekend.

I only love the first 15 episodes of season 1. Season 1 is the only one worth watching. After season 1, the show slowly takes the form of a drawn-out soap opera involving the main characters' children and their grandchildren. The author and the show writers are probably wondering how long they can keep this show going. This is one of the many examples where the first book and the first season are great, and then the writers want to keep shaking the money tree and prolong the franchise as much as they can. The only upside is Sam Heughan who is an incredible actor and is the only one who keeps this show going and whose performance has been strong throughout all the seasons. He plays the perfect Jamie Fraser and one would think the role was written for him. The intensity of his acting, together with his phenomenal looks, make the rest of the seasons a bit more bearable.
