The Real O'Neals (2016–2017)
9/10
Bittersweet and beautiful
26 May 2016
This show is so bittersweet to me. We thoroughly enjoy the antics, his just-camp-enough-without-being-fake mannerisms, the supportive big bro, the cool dad, the surprised and eventually embracing mom... It's everything we wish we had when we came out of the closet 20 years ago. I'm so happy that shows like this can not only be made, but thrive.

I say bittersweet because, just like Troye Sivan's music & videos, it makes me feel happy for teens struggling with those questions, to have secular touchstones, but also makes me think... where were shows like this when I grew up?

I really hope we'll be able to join Kenny (Noah Galvin) and his family for many seasons to come!
