Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Fellow Travelers - Miniseries

Fellow Travelers 100% did not shy away from those crazy sex scenes.

Based on the 2007 novel of the same name by Thomas Mallon, featuring Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey.

The eight episode romp centers on the decades-long romance between two men who first meet during the height of McCarthyism in the 1950s. 

Landing on Paramount+  (this is one of the first Paramount+ with Showtime, last Showtime originals I'm guessing) late October, concluding yesterday.

After a chance encounter in Washington, D.C., in the 1950s, Hawkins Fuller (Bomer) and Timothy Laughlin (Bailey) start a volatile romance that spans the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, the drug-fueled disco hedonism of the 1970s and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, while facing obstacles in the world and in themselves.

Was this as good as some other miniseries kicking around at present? Yes and no, the final episode was moving, however at times it took the gay stereotype to tee.

Matt Bomer is always great, even when his character is totally unlikable.

Paramount+ have really been delivering in this later quarter. With quality Showtime series coming before this, new local content along with Paramount+ original titles. Also unlike Binge this app ALWAYS works well, saves where you are up to when moving between shows, apps.

Fellow Travelers will not be everyone's cup of tea, it does feel like one of the last Showtime series we get following the merge with Paramount.

Oh shit one week till Christmas EVE!
