The article discusses the timely premiere of the queer show 'Unconventional' amidst increasing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and diminished representation in media. The creator reflects on the bold decision to launch the show during politically charged times, asserting that such narratives are urgently needed now. The series serves as a spiritual successor to 'Eastsiders,' and aims to explore long-term queer relationships, providing a satisfying conclusion while addressing ongoing themes from its predecessor. It highlights the importance of telling stories that resonate with the realities of LGBTQ+ life beyond mere struggles.
I believe good stories have endings, and I wanted to close the book on the characters in Eastsiders in a way that was hopefully satisfying but continue exploring the themes that were introduced.
So maybe right now is actually the perfect time to release a show like Unconventional.
