Single, Out

Move over, Heartstopper (we love your British ways, but this one is for us Down Under)! This Aussie-born series really captures the heart of current LGBTIAQ+ culture. Coming out being a normal experience for some, a secret side for others, and an issue for the old guard to embrace.

The ups and downs that Adam embraces as he comes out, cultivates what he thought was first love (awww!), discovers the gay scene, feels the pain of a fast relationship crumble, and finds himself and the attraction that others have form him, all makes for a series that is too short in time per episode (!) and makes the viewer crave more. Adam's friends and family also explore their sex lives, some more business-like than others... and Marco, you catty car-wash boss!

A fitting show in time for Sydney World Pride, and to see onboard Qantas. The NSFW scenes definitely make for interesting eye-turns from the passenger behind you!

An Australian YA gay coming out and relationship comedy-drama series. A good film or series starts with the script and this one is hit and miss, some episodes work and others flop. The dialog is the same, hit and miss. There are funny parts, but basically it meanders along without a lot of focus.

When it works it's because of Will Hutchins who is young and cute and funny and the camera loves him. The camera also loves Adam Mountain who plays Josh. The rest of the cast is hit or miss, it doesn't have a cast of seasoned acting professionals. This is a low budget series that has become popular because of the LGBT themes.

"Love, Victor" and "Heartstopper" shouldn't feel any threat, they had better scripts and cast.

Only half way through the second series and looking forward to season three in 2025 I believe. Well filmed and many attractive actors, and very pretty faces. Not all are great actors, but many are and I also know several as friends. I do a lot of theatre so I am used to various levels of actors starting out. I believe in supporting and encouraging the heroes who venture into a life in the arts and entertainment. I Just wish all the cast were recognised and listed. Goodness even I am on IMDB. It is the bible and essential to start a catalogue of people's work.

Love, mistakes and heartbreak is a common human theme and looking back to early relationships is endearing. The familiarity of first jobs, first loves, first flats is great to indulge in. Find it and give it a go.

This series shows queer love in such a beautiful way and is a much needed series for us Aussies. Creator Lee Gaela has outdone it with Single Out. It is a 6-episode season 1, with a highly anticipated second season already filmed.

It brings you into the lives of many LGBTQIA+ people through depicting modern dating, the highs and lows of relationships and the budding friendships that come from meeting other people in the LGBTQIA+ community. It closely follows Adam and Clayton (Brothers) and their evolving relationship after Adam comes out as gay and starts dating Clay's best friend.

I have watched the season twice and I must say you will have plenty of laughs, some OMG moments and possibly some tears. The quick-witted humour within this show is next level. Lee and the entire cast are excellent throughout the entire production. It is a must watch show, easily binge worthy and is exactly what I wish we had many years ago when I was growing up.

Single, Out is a rare sort of show when it comes to its portrayal of queerness. It is both realistic and quirky, fun and sentimental, and ripe with nuances not typically portrayed in coming-of-age stories about the queer community.

Single, Out tells the story of Adam, a young man trying to balance his hidden sexuality, ambitions and complicated family life. The show does not fall into the familiar tropes of similar shows, as it is so much more than a "coming out" show. It takes time to explore the complications of each character in a realistic and relatable light after Adam has outed himself.

A wonderful cast, consistently terrific writing and beautiful direction make for a cinematic experience as one follows Adam in his journey to find romance, explore himself and connect with the people he cares most about. The raw empowerment the show presents in each episode make for a binge worthy series you won't soon forget.
