I was going to use Ruby Rhod as an OK example of a straight actor playing a camp gay character but then remembered that Ruby is actually straight . So there are camp straight characters which opens up a whole new can of gay worms.

I did download the first season, and watched two episodes. It's alright... I wouldn't say it's anything to write home about... watchable though, something I'd probably watch in the kitchen on the tablet when cooking or something .


[edited to add]

Funnily enough though, I do find the larger gay guy (I can't remember any names) to be a slightly needless over-the-top stereotype so far. And he's the only character that I think that about, sooo.

I genuinely thought he was gay in real life , just shows what a good actor he is i guess .
