I’m on season 5 now and almost there. Overall I liked it. Wouldn’t re-watch it. Which is always a tell tale sign
It felt kind of like when they put football players or basketball players into tv shows. Like little cameo appearances in Billions that end up being forced and awkward
100%. Adira very likeable at the start. Maybe Gray was the wrong actor, the wrong storyline, or poor execution. I don’t know. Just bad vibes and zero chemistry
Call me old fashioned, but I like it when actors can, you know, ACT. Adira, not so bad. Gray, utterly inept.
Pro tip. Nobody has to live in your world either. Pro tip: everyone is entitled to an opinion Pro tip: your ad hominem remark, is void of useful content Pro tip: you don’t have to like or dislike me, to agree or disagree with me Pro tip: chill. It’s just a tv show.
Whoops! Have I gone and said the quiet part out loud?

Lots of assumptions there. I think it was great to introduce non binary, trans or queer characters at any available opportunity PROVIDED they aren’t there to satisfy a quota or so that people like you feel they have someone to identify with just for the sake of it. Gray and Adira as characters, deserved an actual story line. Adira arguably had something to add to the show, but Gray’s character, if completely removed from the show, nobody would even notice. Awkward acting. Absolutely zero ability to convey genuine emotion. It felt forced, fake, just not believable.
It is very lazy of you to assume that people ‘hate on binary people’. That kind of self pity won’t wash here.
I love this show.
I hated Gray’s character and while Adira started off really well, she fell off a cliff the second Gray was revealed.
It isn’t about them as people.
It’s about them as characters.
