Carbon copy of so many others
Someone clearly went with "hey, let's take the most generic 'rags to riches' and 'Prince Charming saves the girl' stories and add a gay/non-binary twist to it and get Kim Cattrall into it, people will surely love it!"
And then someone went "great idea, here's some money."
It's exactly that. Non-realistic story with every single person being unlikable. Sure, people are complex and not all sides are nice and pretty but when not a single person in the whole show is likable then it goes a bit far.
The main character is a typical wannabe "tuber" who doesn't want to do a boring job and whose whole life is about looks and makeup (the believable part) who then gets swept up by a makeup *illionaire who hasn't had a single new thing come up in years (the unbelievable part).
Then there's the usual backstabbings, running into a hunky man, being "so awks", playing games, showing off pumps, business deals going awry, self esteem and self belief issues... you name it, it's in there. And it's all entirely surface level boring stuff.
If only people could do original things. Was this done during writers' strike and they just copy pasted stuff together to fill the void? Needed Yet Another Queer Show? This isn't what "representation" is.
