Why does Kit Williamson, and other people trying to create "gay" content, even try? I'm gay, looking on Netflix for something new, saw this, wanted to give it a shot. I'm sad that I keep watching episodes, hoping that it somehow becomes "gay." Funny, even as a gay man, I'm more interested in the relationships with the straight people. Nothing about Cal and Thom says "gay" to me. I'm not looking for porn, guys, but the interaction between Cal and Thom and Jeremy is ridiculous. Please. Totally gay-offensive. Stop.

This TV series, is not just a gay love cheeting story like it may show in the beginning. It shows all aspects of everything of all gay or straight relatonships. What they go through. That if you truly love someone. You go through the worlds toughest battles of the relationship. Sometimes you even have to loose the person to realise what they really ment to you. Its hard to go that rough part but if the love is real it can come back around. Maybe a week a month a year or 2, but if its ment to be it can happen. All cuples go through alot when they love each other. But the more you go through and come back the stronger your love will be with your partner unless if you dont see worth fighting to save it, thsts up to you both in the end. So anyway the end result of what I am saying it made me feel watching this series. Thst if you love someone and all is worth it., It will show. Everything to feel whole doesnt happen over night.

Finally a series that speaks to a Gay (and general) audience that pretty much ticks all the boxes. It has nuance, humour, heart and soul wrapped in an intelligent script and delivered with expert acting and high production values, to deliver an engaging and touching story that will make most viewers want to watch it all in one sitting. This is everything that its predecessors isn't. It's the series that hits the sparsity of good Gay television choices right out of the ballpark. Eastsiders sets the bar at the level a LGBT audience deserves. Highly recommended! Thank goodness for subscription television! Eastsiders is a stunning example of what channels like Netflix can deliver. I loved this!

I think the younger you are (if you're gay) the more this will resonate with you. The writing is uneven, but the starting premise is interesting. It's infidelity but not just simple infidelity. And the production values and photography are both fine.Overall, the gay characters are better done than the straight characters. The gay characters are more underwritten, e.g., the actors communicated with their faces/bodies a lot, which is a good thing; it wasn't so dialog driven. The straight characters on the other hand seemed overwritten and, frankly, unconvincing. As the episodes progress, some of the coincidences are a bit much. And the way people relate to each other doesn't always seem real. A lot of the time it does, but a lot of the time it doesn't. For those of you with a lot more life experience this will be harder to take. For example, the art gallery/art world shown is like somebody's idea of what that world is like, rather than what it's really like. That's true for a lot of things, including some relationships. However, most of the gay hook ups/relationships were plausible to me because, well, been there done that.Still, I found this very watchable, even though I knew the quality was just above average. But like I say, the younger you are, the more likely you will be to enjoy it.
