    8/10
    Above-average quirky drama with lots of diversity
    The episodes are brief so you don't get to know the characters super well, but the ones you do meet are written with warmth and it still feels novel watching sympathetically written, diverse LGBT characters on TV. The Bethany Black episode in particular is a standout in its nuanced depiction of trans life.
