The Bisexual

I laughed out loud several times, which doesnt happen often! Great writing and acting. Only wish there had been more than six episodes.

Well-written and solid acting. Interesting plot and cast.

I absolutely love this series. It is written extremely well, and seems modern and quick (in a good way) as opposed to more formulaic. The acting is superb as well--every single character is perfectly cast. I feel like the show doesn't really shy away from any discussions, and I really like that the show focuses on multiple characters, so it is able to touch on so many issues--sexuality, family, codependency, etc.

I went into this show expecting it to be more drama than comedy, and expecting so much less out of the supporting characters. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of character they were able to build up in just six 30-minute episodes.

I really, really hope they renew it for another season. I think that it's a really important series that deserves a lot of attention.

It means a lot that they're tackling bisexual identity in the community. As someone whose struggling with the same issue of Leila, not feeling gay or straight enough it's tough and this shows comedic/serious approach was a comfort it's worth the watch to decide for yourself.

Somewhere, somehow, this show seemed to miss the mark in revealing what it is like to either explore feelings of bisexuality or what it is like when you identify yourself as bisexual. Leila simply comes off as an immature, insecure and awkward woman who is struggling to find a place in the world, which the later episodes reveal she never had. This is less about being bisexual and the questions and difficulties that come with it and more about a person who has no limits on needing and getting attention. There was so much potential, as Akhaven wrote some very complex supporting characters but none of them seem to be going anywhere.
