    So good

    This was just a really good, perfectly odd show. It felt so much like a slice of life, so intimate and honest. I really loved everything about Deniz for some reason. It's a bit bittersweet that there was only one season of this show, but I think it ended in a very real (if not slightly confusing?) way.

    Entertaining

    Well-written and solid acting. Interesting plot and cast.

    Witty, sexy...well, hot

    A rowdy romp through love and loving...and lusting. Immensely enjoyable, it put me in mind of Issa Rae's characters. Desiree is believable and vulnerable; acting all around was quite good, production values met the challenges. Well-written and realized, the dialogue flowed smoothly.

    Better than I thought, give it a try

    It means a lot that they're tackling bisexual identity in the community. As someone whose struggling with the same issue of Leila, not feeling gay or straight enough it's tough and this shows comedic/serious approach was a comfort it's worth the watch to decide for yourself.

    Moving and funny

    I'm very surprised by the low star rating on IMDb. The critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are excellent. The acting in The Bisexual is great across the board. The writing is funny and insightful. It's raw and painful and funny. The subject is handled with sensitivity, but with a sense of humor, too. I loved it. I'd love to see more.
