Tom Swift (2022)
7/10
Is not great or amazing, but entertaining enough, plus for once, the gay character is a male!

How many openly gay male leads there is in sci-fi or super heroes series? That's right, this is probably the first. And is curious how this seems to be the factor so many reviewers view as negative or insufferable. There are plenty of queer women and lesbians protagonists in fantasy (Batwoman, Harley-Quinn, Black Lightning, She-ra, even fricking Dickinson) and nobody seems to take that as an issue. But whenever somebody dares to present a gay man in one of these series, inevitable people is talking about the "gay agenda" and how this "flamboyant" guy could be a protagonist. The series is not perfect, or even great, but is fine for an hour of television and that for once the "queer" lead is a man is very welcomed. Maybe check is this is not what itching your negativity towards this show. Not everybody is represented for what Hollywood consider is "queer", and gay men are not that present in Tv unless is a drama or a very obvious comedy.
