Strangers at first, these young gay lads, and their best friend Jill, find themselves thrown together, and soon share each other’s adventures. The synopsis for Boys reads, “It’s 1981, the start of a new decade and Ritchie, Roscoe and Colin begin a new life in London.
The series will consist of five parts with Olly Alexander of the band Years & Years starring along with Neil Patrick Harris and Stephen Fry. Hailing from Doctor Who and Queer As Folk ’s Russell T Davies, Boys is a Channel 4 drama that focuses on the lives of three young gay men during the 1980s AIDs crisis. The Barking Murders will be out later in 2020 on BBC One.
The Barking Murders, a dramatized retelling of the “Grindr serial killer”, seems to focus on how the victim’s families were impacted instead of the acts of Stephen Port (Stephen Merchant). While there is always a rich in such dramas that the killers, especially serial killers, will have their evil deeds sensationalized. If you’ve been looking for crime content based on real-life horrors, then the BBC One production The Barking Murders may be for you. AJ and the Queen is currently out on Netflix. Maybe, they even find family in each other along the way. Together, the two misfits travel across the country to spread the Ruby Red message of acceptance. He just wasn’t expecting a stowaway in the form of AJ (Izzy G.), who wants Robert to take her to Dallas.
When his boyfriend (Josh Segarra) breaks his heart and steals his life savings, Robert decides to make up the cash by doing a Ruby Red roadshow. AJ and the Queen follow Robert (RuPaul), a drag performer by the name of Ruby Red who dreams of opening a club. This RuPaul-starrer has been out for a couple weeks. So let’s see where 2020 will take us in terms of new LGBT+ shows. While GLAAD says that representation is up, we still have a ways to go in producing an authentic range of LGBT+ experiences across the broad. Film Daily recently talked about the LGBT+ films coming out in 2020, so now it’s time to look at the new shows that will bring gay characters to our screen. While it has taken on a very different meaning from the original gay 1920s, we hope to embrace the spirit the best way possible.
