Let's talk Netflix's Queer Eye

It’s a shameless heart-string tugger at times. I don’t care. When the craggy loveable oldish guy started crying while saying goodbye to the five mentors in episode 1, I was snotting like a toddler, writes Colm O’Regan. 

I don’t care. It’s Queer Eye, a Netflix programme where five experts of varying styles of Fierce, Gay, Altogether, advise people who are stuck in a bit of a meh, about culture, fashion, grooming, hair, interior design and general YAS QUEEN.

It’s about real men. By real men I don’t mean people who fight bears, remember fighting the commies in Korea or who could cut turf with a butter knife. Just real men with their mundane problems talking about themselves, while simultaneously being hugged by the immaculately turned out, manscaped and no doubt fragrant Fab 5.
