This story is an important chapter in LBGTQ+ service men and women in the US. The ability for these character to depict what REAL people are experiencing so well is unmatched. Sexuality is never something to be shamed, shunned, or belittled, as so many from the current political climate like to do. All I can say is please watch, and you might learn something. Cannot wait for Season 2.

This series is based on the memoir “The Pink Marine,” about a gay teen (Miles Heizer) who joins the Marine Corps with his best friend. There are the expected bully encounters and other typical miliary challenges, but what sets this apart is the characters. Many of the members of his squad have personalities beyond the stereotypes, which add more humanity to the story. Of course, there’s the closeted sergeant (Max Parker) and the detached mom (Vera Farmiga), who both add depth with their POVs. Since this was the last show produced by Norman Lear, the message elements are clear, but so is the good-hearted tone. Despite the predictability, there’s a warmth to the relationships that helps make it a somewhat sweet story.

This show is so mean spirited and dour. The US military is no picnic, but I doubt it is the degenerate brutal torture chamber depicted here. The gay men who choose to endure this are masochists. Their talents are better used elsewhere.

It's tiresome to have human depravity and caricature shoved down our throats. There is so much good source material in boot camp this kind of narcissism is uncalled for. Acting is poor and caricatures are insulting. We'd rate this: "skip by all means."

Netflix est toujours toujours toujours obligé de mettre des personnes… arc en ciel dans ses séries et films !!!! Dû prosélytismes LGBT
