'Queer Eye' Is The Greatest New Show On Netflix
Netflix

Ever since its release in February, Queer Eye has really blown up as one of the best new TV shows, and for good reason. This reality series is a Netflix-owned reboot of the groundbreaking original 90's show called Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but it brings a fresh cast (called the Fab Five) to the stage. For those of you who don't already know, the premise of the show is that the Fab Five, consisting of five gay men each with their own area of expertise, gives a total makeover to a different man (usually straight, but in a couple episodes they have been gay too) each episode. These makeovers are more than just surface-level; they really cover all the bases of the men's lifestyles.

Jonathan teaches better grooming habits and gives game-changing haircuts...

Tan provides a fresh and more stylish wardrobe...

Antony helps with creating a healthier attitude towards food and cooking...

Bobby refurbishes the homes...

and Karamo offers some much-needed life tips and confidence boosts.

Now ain't these boys just the cutest??

The final product is not just a makeover, but a life-changing experience and opportunity for growth that often means much more to the men receiving them than we realize. Therefore, the show is one of the most heartwarming and even sometimes tearjerking things you could ever decide to watch, but that's not all: the Fab Five also offer plenty of laughs and fierce inspiration, not to mention that they're all quite easy on the eyes (Antony is literally a Greek god).

So if you're not sold just yet, I encourage you to read on to discover exactly why I and so many others hold this show near and dear to our hearts and feel that it deserves the highest of praise.

First of all,

This show is so wholesome. In a world that sometimes is filled with too much violence and graphic, darker issues in the media, it is so refreshing to sit back and watch something so feel-good and positive. You walk away from the couch feeling like you can accomplish anything in life, and that everyone deserves the chance to be their best selves.

And yes, all this love and positivity will make you shed a tear or two, particularly in the episodes where the makeover recipient is overcoming personal struggles (the one where the guy's father passed away will straight up DESTROY you). You'll be feeling a lot like Jonathan here when you too are overcome with tears of joy and every other emotion in between.

To be honest, everyone can learn a thing or two from the Fab Five. Tan and Jonathan's style advice may be directed towards the male style, but the lessons each of these men teach about self-confidence, self-love, and bringing out the best version of yourself are entirely universal!

All of the men of the Fab Five are equally lovable and entertaining, but Jonathan is the biggest master of sass and fierce compliments. He's definitely the kind of guy you'd want rooting on your team!

Queer Eye is one of the most inspiring shows, encouraging you to want to see the beauty and value in everyone just as the Fab Five does, which is something everyone should really strive for. Maybe this is a stretch, but I honestly feel that if everyone watched this show, the world could somehow become a better place.

Long live the Fab Five, and can't wait for Season 2!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
