5 Reasons why Everyone Needs To start Watching the Netflix Reboot Of "Queer Eye"

In This Article:

This Netflix reboot of "Queer Eye" features Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, Karamo Brown, and Bobby Berk. For those who do not know the premise of the show, basically, a friend will nominate someone to become a better version of themselves with the help of the gay Fab 5. Jonathan handles grooming and new haircuts, Tan helps with fashion, Antoni teaches people how to make simple, delicious meals, Karamo is in charge of culture, and Bobby redoes the homes of the people in the show. What makes the show great is that the Fab 5 do not try to change a person, they help them gain confidence and to feel more secure in who they are. That and the following 5 reasons is why everyone needs to integrate "Queer Eye" into their life!

1. The show is a combination of house, fashion, and hair makeover.

The excitement every person feels at watching people become more beautiful.

There always comes a strange satisfaction from watching the shows on the Home Network channel, where they take these dumps and transform them into beautiful designer homes. With "Queer Eye" that satisfaction is only increased. You are not subjected to watching all of the strenuous dirty work that comes with transforming a home, and you get the addition of a whole-body makeover. Watching all of these people feel more confident in themselves with their body and home makeovers gives you the hope that you too can gain more self-confidence.

2. It is HILARIOUS (especially Jonathan).

Jonathan being fabulous as usual.

Not an episode of "Queer Eye" will go by without you laughing at something Jonathan says. Jonathan is by the far the most flamboyant of the Fab 5. With his exclamations of "Yas queen!" and "Fiercedom Honey!" it is hard not to be delighted by how outrageous he is. His flamboyance does not make the straight, white men on the show uncomfortable either. He infuses the situation with light and humor that makes them more comfortable being around 5 gay men that they may feel a little strange around.

3. The show betters the people not only in appearance but as a whole.

The inevitable tears of "Queer Eye."

I do not think that there is an episode of "Queer Eye" where the person being made over does not cry. The Fab 5 instills in them a newfound confidence that makes them feel like a better version of themselves. The one mainly responsible for the more internal transformation is Karamo. He has deep, important conversations with the people and works out what he can do to make feel more at peace with who they are and who they want to be. This show is wonderful in teaching that how you feel about yourself on both the inside and outside is integral in improving yourself.

4. All of the Fab 5 are gorgeous and have AMAZING outfits.

What a hottie.

Giphy

This is one of the more superficial reasons for watching "Queer Eye," but it is still important. Seeing a wide range of attractive and confident gay men is both satisfying, and it helps for others to gain awareness that being gay does not mean you have to act or be a certain way. Someone who is gay can be feminine or masculine, or any other way they want to be.

5. It shows acceptance and love of everyone.

LOVE.

Giphy

Unlike the original "Queer Eye," the reboot makes over all kinds of people, gay, straight, man, woman, Indian, Christian, and many more. They helped a gay man come out to his stepmother and had serious conversations about religion relating to homosexuality and relations between blacks and the police force. The people one would expect to be against homosexuality show the Fab 5 acceptance and love that the world needs.

This sweet show brings tears to my eyes almost everytime I watch it. The love and acceptance shown between such a wide variety of people give me hope that perhaps our world will eventually become kinder to everyone in it. Perhaps watching shows like "Queer Eye" can help every person to instill a little bit of kindness into their everyday actions.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
