Queer Eye: We're in Japan!

The work that they do in people's lives is so needed. The Japan edition was heartfelt and seemed to really focus on helping the heroes/heroines open up more and be themselves.

The Fab 5 juggernaut didn't just bluster through Japan with their American playbook but rather made a conscious effort to understand the culture and help those that fall victim to its rigid conformity. Their kindness and empathy translates seamlessly across the globe and I found this series to be as uplifting and joyful as the US version, if not more so. Japanophiles will love it, Fab fans will love it. As for subtitles, some of the finest films the world has to offer are not in English; give it a little time and it'll be second nature and won't detract from your viewing pleasure at all. Arigato, Queer Eye.

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!

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!

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?
