Queer Eye: We're in Japan!

During the pandemic, I started to watch shows that I would not normally take time to watch. I watched a couple of the first episodes of Queer Eye and found what the show was about to be so wonderful, but I could not relate to some of the people being helped. Still, I kept it on my Netflix list. Then I saw that the series was shot in Japan, and I was really intrigued. I laughed and cried and enjoyed the whole experience. I knocked the series out so fast and was hungry for more. The Fab 5 have such outgoing and genuine personalities and skills. They use these, and their own personal life experiences, to help individuals who were recommended by friends, family, and bosses. If you ever feel like you don't fit in this world and/or had a tough time being yourself, then this is the show to watch. You learn and you feel. What can be better than that?

This is so heart warming. One of my favourite shows.

I absolutely loved this series. The connection they formed with each person and how they helped them become more confident was truly moving! And of course... there was the fabulousness the Fab 5 are known for!

As a side note, the other review on here whinging about subtitles?!? Err did you not see they were in JAPAN! Of course there's going to be subtitles. How silly and rude! Did you expect them only to deal with English speaking Japanese? Ridiculous and bigoted.

Watch it, read it and love it!

I'm from Japan and a huge fan of Queer Eye. I couldn't wait for this series because they are here finally! The struggle as a part of lgbt, tight society are true, and stressful small living spaces in the city are also real. People here forget to have fun and how to be yourself sometimes. You can see what I mean when you see people crying in each episode. How Fab5 treated and hugged people gave them big relief and happiness!

The same blend of humour, fabulousness, moving stories and amazing people. I just find myself crying 5 minutes in to every episode because they choose such deserving people to be made-over. This Japan series is just as gorgeous as the regular series and is a good reminder but there are people all over the world who need a little bit of the fab five.

I saw some really low ratings on the individual episodes which I really don't understand. I hate to say it but I think there may be a sense of bigotry there and the fact that they're not in America and there are subtitles to read in the episodes. Obviously if you're a true QE fan, then you appreciate other cultures and diverse backgrounds and so the fact they're in Japan is only a plus. I hope there will be more accurate ratings soon to reflect the incredible work the boys are doing in this mini-series.

I hope they continue to do trips to other countries!

As ever, beautiful work by the fab 5.
