Queer Eye knows what it wants to do, and it does it well. Season four isn’t breaking new ground or tackling wildly different challenges, but that doesn’t stop it from being utterly wonderful TV.

Undoubtedly, the show has settled into a post-reboot groove: introduce subject to the transformative power of self-love and a good moisturiser, group-hug, then rinse and repeat. It comes with an assuredness that is ever more enjoyable. Touchingly, they remain open about how hard-won their self-assuredness is.

Queer Eye’s formula—manipulative and effective, awkward and transcendent—remains the same as before, but the emphasis on the Fab Five as individuals does change the series’ value proposition somewhat. ... With the intensifying spotlight, though, the guys—and all they represent—have thankfully come to seem more three-dimensional.
