To Watch Today: This Heartwarming Netflix Series Will Make You Want to Change Your Life – Series News

It’s true that make-over programs and series don’t have the best reputation among moviegoers. But the following series has so much dedication and heart that it will definitely put a smile on your face – and thus make the world a little better.

We’re talking about Queer Eye, a format that started on Netflix in 2018 and is based on the North American show Queer Eye For The Straight Guy from the early 2000s. In each episode, the production presents one of the many everyday heroes who are visited by the so-called Fab Five, a group of five experts, and are supported by them in different areas of their lives for a week. It’s not just about overhauling your hairstyle, clothes and living space, but also about dealing with established routines and underlying social and professional conflicts or family trauma.

Queer Eye: 10 TV Characters Who Could Use Help From The Fab 5

Queer Eye shows life-changing encounters

The Fab Five is made up of fashion expert Tan France, interior design genius Bobby Berk, hair and makeup artist Jonathan Van Ness, culture and lifestyle guru Kamaro Brown and nutrition expert Antoni Porowski. Each of the five not only brings their own experience to the format, but also their own personal stories, in which the candidates surprisingly find connecting elements – even though at first glance it often seems that these five have queer, cosmopolitan and metropolitan people have absolutely nothing in common with the lives of their very different everyday heroes. Since they often feel at home in rural areas of the USA and are as tied to their opinions as they are to the standards that have been established over decades.

However, when Bobby talks about his past on the streets after being rejected by his Christian family in Missouri or Kamaro talks about his experiences of discrimination as a queer black man in a Texas suburb, there are always points of connection that give the Fab Five their apparent glamor in making them accessible to candidates.

Encounters are very important here – and so everyday heroes not only benefit from the new perspectives that the Fab Five open up to them as people, but also from reuniting them with lost friends, family, loved ones from the past or completely new contacts, which leads to a solid part of the format.

Even if no profound results of therapy can be expected in one episode, it is still surprising how much a few targeted conversations can break candidates out of their ingrained patterns – or what a look in the mirror can do with a new hairstyle or a suitable outfit can bring. joy and self-confidence. A life-affirming feeling that is also conveyed when watching and reminds us to always treat ourselves and others with respect and love.

Queer Eye and Queer Eye Brasil, the Brazilian version of the reality show, are available on Netflix.
