Despite the fact that there are people not liking the series for not being realistic to depict the "common gay man", I'd say (to quote Michael's mum), "Take the chill pill"! "Chillax".
It's just a show. Lighten up. Don't take things so seriously.
For me, it's meant as an entertainment. If it does not then it's your prerogative not to like it and move on.
For what it's worth, I'd say it's a fantasy set in the modern world. That's about it. But there's nothing wrong with that.
Personally, I like it. In a way, I could relate to some of the subjects brought up in the series. Mainly being a gay man in my 40s and things like having sexual relations with the use of protection. And the fact that the character of Billy being a self-absorbed narcissist going about chasing after guys at his age is one that I feel ought to be brought up. But that's just my opinion. And to have his date for the Jonathans' wedding finding out that he's the proven cliche among gay man is a sad fact that needs to be addressed.
As for the main protagonist's relationships with his potentials post-Colin, I'd say I could only dream of meeting someone like Luke. Even though their relationship was barely a week it's a beautiful thing I wish they could hit it off.
The bottom line is, whether you like it or not, it's just a show. You can turn it off if you don't like it.
