The Bisexual - Season 1
During this powerful drama series, we recount a wide range of controversial adventures. The series begins with the adventures of New Yorker Layla, who lives a perfect life with her friend in London. But she seems to be hiding a dangerous secret as she is bisexual. The events start out through Leila, who is well aware that she is living a big lie and must make a big decision with unexpected consequences and seem to have severe stances.

It's earnestness shines through as it educates us on how people often misunderstand bisexuality. However, as a six episode dramedy, The Bisexual feels a bit thin.

Here was a widening of the conversation. And it was sweet, funny and blessed with a complex star.

Akhavan creates robust enough characters to keep us compelled, even as we laugh.

Far lighter than, say, Fleabag, but sharing its arch humour, the miniseries hones in on the difficulties of apparently betraying a group you've long felt part of.
