PSA: Queer Eye is the best, most inclusive, most warm-hearted and delightful thing you can watch on tv at the moment. I wish there were a thousand episodes.

If you haven't watched the new version can I please implore you to get yourself on to Netflix and start experiencing the absolute joy that awaits you.

Were watching it right now, love it

ThatsNotEvenAWord · 20/06/2018 21:36

Hands down the best thing I’ve seen on TV for ages. It’s just so pure, loving, positive, WONDERFUL. I want them all to be my best friends --and makeover my DH TBH —

LannieDuck · 20/06/2018 21:37

It would mostly be ok for a child to watch, although there is one episode in season 1 where the 'straight guy' (who's actually gay) gets dressed up in his bondage gear. Not sure I'd feel up to explaining that to a 10 year old... YMMV ;)

I think nearly every episode has made me cry so far!

TopperHarley · 20/06/2018 21:55

Does anyone remember a show called 'Would Like To Meet'? I loved it but it wasn't on for long. I'm kind of hoping Queer Eye is like that!

ShatnersBassoon · 20/06/2018 22:01

I do remember Would Like to Meet. Queer Eye is far better, nicer presenters and participants.

buckeejit · 20/06/2018 22:05

Ermagherd! Just did a search for it to tell all of MN about it too. Halfway through the first series & I LOVE if!

Just watched Tammy from Gay & was in floods. So so good, everyone should watch!

VanillaSugar · 20/06/2018 22:07

I remember the original series!!

BroomstickOfLove · 20/06/2018 22:10

I really want to see it, but don't have Netflix :-(

I've heard such good things.

MyOtherUsernameisaPun · 20/06/2018 22:10

@SilverySurfer Tan is my favourite too 😍 Just love him! I also think the devil works hard but bobby berk works harder - that man is a hurricane!

Tan is great- I love how he's body positive but helping people make the most of what they have at the same time. I've even started french tucking shirts because of him- he's right, it's way more flattering.

They are all great though and such great role models for boys and men- straight and gay.

I think it would mostly be fine for a 10yo, swearing is bleeped. There are a few sexual inuendos though.

NormHonal · 20/06/2018 22:21

DH and I were completely addicted to the original series, UK and US versions.

Must watch this!!

gaggiagirl · 20/06/2018 22:24

I love queer eye so hard!
Tan is wonderful. I too now French tuck.
Bobby seems to have a lot of issues. I do adore him. Hes the hardest worker.
Antoni is the most beautiful man ever. I have the mega hots for him.
Karamos facial hair is incredible. As is his head hair. how is it so perfect?
Jonathan is hilarious. As he would say 'are you totally obsessed?' yes. I am.

Hmmalittlefishy · 20/06/2018 22:25

I love it too.
Loved the original queer eye too they seemed to really get on and be good friends. Just like this one even though it could all be for the cameras
Tan is my favourite too.i want to be made over but I'm not a straight guy Sad

Hmmalittlefishy · 20/06/2018 22:26

Oh and I loved when old queer eye met new queer eye. I wanted a whole mega makeover episode not a little chat

CoquetteRegret · 20/06/2018 22:27

Can't get into it simply because there is no Carson from the original series. He was the best.

EduCated · 20/06/2018 22:28

I’ve been french tucking for aaaaages.

I just didn’t know it had a bane and was a thing Grin

Love51 · 20/06/2018 22:31

Is it available on telly or only on Netflix?

2ManyDicksOnTheDancefloor · 20/06/2018 22:31

Yass Queen!!!!!!!

rosenylund · 20/06/2018 22:32

The original series is all on you-tube, working my way through now - fond memories on the dole after uni and my parents had just got cable, watched queer eye religiously. And Judge Judy.

Sosogoodagain · 20/06/2018 22:33

Brilliant show, really life affirming....tears have tripped me watching series one on Netflix.

It's not too fawning or sycophantic!! Just wholesome love & respect.

ButDoYouAvocado · 20/06/2018 22:48

I watch this and love it but don't know what French tucking is?! Help me!

Monr0e · 20/06/2018 23:04

Ah I'm so glad to hear about this. I loved the original. So nice to hear the newer version is heartwarming and lovely.

I find tv shows that center around conflict and arguements make me really uncomfortable. Can't wait to watch.

SoaringSwallow · 20/06/2018 23:06

I'm watching it right now! Second episode in a row. Love it!

CheekyRedhead · 20/06/2018 23:20

Love it! Tan is my favourite. I like how its time they go affordable shops rather than Armani etc like the original. Carson was the best then. He's a judge on RuPauls Drag Race now

malificent7 · 20/06/2018 23:44

Love them all.Tan is great. Antoni is hot. Johnathon is hilarious.Karamo is perfect and Bobbi is so talented.
