Stories from My Gay Grandparents

For a goofy set of comedic spoofs on gay life, there's a surprising amount of nuanced reality allowing for keen observations on the human condition. The string of camp clichés reveals some deeper points about coming out late as well as being young and out. A generation gap story provides the basis for tender insights. Can't wait for the second season which is set up nicely by unfinished story lines in the last episode of S1. It's a succinct, quick watch where economy of story and plot packs in a surprising amount. I salute the writing of such content within our modern attention span, without lacking meaning. This is a surprising package of romp and belly laugh, and for me, a few teary bits.... But I'm a sad old Queen ...

My partner and I are a lesbian couple in our 50's we were both in heterosexual relationships for 20 plus years and recently came out late in life. We absolutely love this series. I have two gay children and she has one. There is so much to learn and identify with in this show! Please make a second season. The humor and candor in this show are so refreshing. The Grand children's wisdom and the grand parent naivete are so heart warming and identifiable. The education with terminology and the family bond are so heartwarming and encouraging. I can't believe ait to see what happens next. Love love love this show. It ended too soon.

I just binged all 10 episodes in two sittings. SO funny and so refreshing to see an LGBTQ+ tv show that is real and relatable, not stylised and artificial. The characters and subplots are authentic - it really feels like this show has been made in the LGBTQ+ community, more than any other that I've watched. Great acting and storylines that had me laughing and crying in every episode. It's testament to the writing, production and acting that I feel so attached to these characters even though the episodes are so short. I could easily have watched 10 x 60 min episodes and still be wanting more. I will be sharing it widely among my friends - the community and allies too. Really hope there's a second season and more!!

In this series we are introduced to Barbara and Rusty, a seemingly normal married couple from a very conservative small town in Canada. After an unfortunate accident, they decide to move to Toronto and share an apartment with their gay grandchildren, Mish, (not sure on spelling), and Mason. They bring with them the revelation that they have been each other's "beard" for many years but are now ready to be who they were born to be. Watching Barbara and Rusty struggle to say the words at first is something I think many of us can relate to. You would think that they would be at the "We don't care what anyone thinks about us" phase in their lives but letting go of a former identity is never easy. Mish and Mason must get used to life with their grandparents living on top of them while Barbara and Rusty must get used to not only living their new lives, but getting used to not being dependent upon each other as they once were. The other main character, Church Street in Toronto, serves as a foundation for these lives. Mish owns a nightclub there. Barbara's first love worked there. Rusty and Barbara are finding their true selves there.

I really hope season two comes along and that it will still be available to view in the States. It has much promise and potential for true growth.

This series is hilarious! I laughed so hard that my teenage so. Came out of his bedroom and stared at me. I binge watched the first season in one night! The episodes are less than fifteen minutes each so it is very easy to get caught up in the storylines. I can not wait for season two to be released!

The casting is spot on! Watching the grandparents trying is find themselves is comedic. The horrific looks of their grandchildren's faces at times is sidesplitting.

There are so many potential storylines for season two that I can not wait to see unfurl.

I highly recommend this show to anyone who has an open mind and a great sense of humor.
