The boyfriend on netflix

[handiacefailure]

Started watching it.    Really campy.   It is a reality show with a bunch of Asian guys (not sure where it’s filmed) sharing a house and who have to run a coffee food truck.    Only into the second episode but it’s weird how they keep adding guys to the house.   I like seeing the panel that comments 

I had eye surgery a couple days ago and have to be facedown for a while, so not a lot to do but watch Netflix on my tablet, not sure if I would finish it out otherwise if it wasn’t for the fact I have nothing else I can do.

Most of the guys are from Japan. (One from Taiwan, one from Brazil.) Weirdly watchable, despite the usual dime-store psychodrama — “I need to express my feelings,” etc. A second season is on the way.

Season 2 of "The Boyfriend," the pan-Asian gay dating reality show, is worth a binge-watch. (The guys are Japanese, South Korean, Thai, Peruvian-Japanese, ages 20 to 40.) 15 episodes. Especially good is the late season emphasis on coming out, which goes across several episodes. Surprisingly moving for reality TV.
