Another Trashy Reality Show
Johnny_West6 November 2021
Nothing to watch here. Same ship, different day. A specific group of people intermingle, have fun, argue, have various levels of personal relationships, conflicts, etc.

Totally contrived...
peter-lamoureux10 November 2021
The cinematography is really nice as are all the different views of the Tampa Bay Area and the Pinellas beaches. Beyond that, this is a very silly show. The women featured are all very beautiful and intelligent yet they act like high school kids. The reality of this show is that these women need to act their age and make better choices in life.

Can't wait for season 2!!
krst7311 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I found this to be one of the better "reality" shows. It seemed less scripted and love that it's about lesbians. As a straight (non curious) female it's not a world I would normally get a glimpse into so it was educational as well as entertaining. To hear how some lesbians were rejected by their families and or the church due to their sexual orientation was grounding and shocking. How could a family put their 18 year old daughter on the street just because who she loves. It's not like you can choose your sexual orientation. It's just who you are. Just like you can't make me prefer strawberry ice cream to vanilla. It's just part of me. I think Haley said about the church, how they can forgive the worst murderer, but being gay is an abomination and you're going to hell??!!! Jesus guys it's 2021!!! How can families put that upon their most precious children is beyond me. Surely all you want for your children is for them to be good people and happy. Loved the drama, all those hormones made great entertainment and I think most of the girls projected great lesbian role models as they came across as genuine loving people. Tv needs more shows like this. Wish they all got on, but that's the hippy in me. Definitely should have a rating of at least 6. Plus I need to know, WHO GOT MARRIED???

Pinnacle of human decline
quant-teq6 November 2021
Girls having fun with one another is all good... love and let love, but this series is an absolute disaster.

Humanity has no future if these are representative of a generation.

I'm obsessed.
ericanoddin6 November 2021
I love good reality tv, but always found little to no representation of the lgbtq+ rep. Just a lot of the same straight relationships over and over and over and over. ...

This show is centred around a group of LGBTQ+ friends and is QUALITY reality tv. It has the cliques, the fights, the humour. Just amazing.

If you're mad at this show for "giving the straights ammo" have you ever watched anything like VPR, or the bachelor? This is just your typical reality tv but with representation that we haven't had before. Don't like gay people? Don't watch.

I cannot wait for season 2.

Exactly what you can expect from a reality tv show
annikayo28 December 2021
Just give it a try. It's background tv entertainment. Honestly the first episode was so bad, but it really does gets better. I hate Brianna. I'm definitely team Summer and Marissa lol. Shiva is such a child but I recognise myself in her a little, so it's all good. Jordan and Mel are a treasure. The rest don't really interest me much. Love to see more of Mel though. She's so cool.

Location: interesting, Cast not so much
bandaidbowie14 November 2021
If you are into reality TV, then this may work for you. If you need more than contrived scenarios, then you'll have to look elsewhere. I gave it a chance, watching 4 episodes and... Honestly, I was hoping for more, but it just kept coming up short of anything new or interesting. Good luck with this one.

Pinnacle of Reality TV!
nwang-684956 November 2021
Exactly what I signed up for - real life L Word in Florida. The cast is great, love the "only gay artist in Tampa." If you're looking for trash reality TV and lesbian drama with a hint of lip-fillers, you've come to the right place!

Really Baes?
triplelpropertyservices11 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Interesting take on the ladies in Tampa. Tarpon Springs being a part of the Tampa bay "scene"area is a stretch. Each reality show tends to have a protagonists & antagonist which is clearly manufactured in this show. Many of the subjects are not really interesting individuals/ couples other than their perceptions that they want folks to see and/or admire. Messy, I guess is desirable. At least they didn't go on the pronoun kick. (The production crew needs to invest in some better hair care products for these ladies.) Got to give them kudos for that! The show lacks substance in general. There are a couple of story lines that would have been much more interesting such as the kid from Iran, the one who found her brother.

A good show
alonnafine6 November 2021
Its a good show it was interesting it had drama, romance, and funny moments. That's a reality tv show for you there's no reason to dislike the show you know what you signed up for when you read the description and decided to watch the first episode. So all around i don't have anything bad to say.

Binged it
emigonz7 November 2021
Being from and living in Tampa, of course I had to binge. Really entertaining and I'm hoping for season 2 cause it definitely left is hanging! I love how everyone had their own individual story line but also were able to be involved with the collective at the same time.

Representation
pantazijessie29 November 2021
I love this show and the lesbian representation. I hope it gets renewed for a season 2. It's definitely entertaining and binge worthy. Not all the cast members are likable but they never are on reality tv.

Needed this. Need more.
revdrrebeccaheckl11 November 2021
As a practitioner of psychology, I've always been obsessed with 'trash tv'. From the personalities to the producers, those that open their world to us, on so many levels, is beyond interesting. This show is no different, yet still wonderfully unique. This production displayed the excitement of Tampa life along with the multiple facets of the lesbian lifestyle in a wonderfully lighthearted and emotional manner. I of course have my favorites already, have binge watched every show twice and know who the obvious 'villain' is, yet with that said, everyone needs more. It can only get more interesting from this point, Season 2, yes please.

Representation matters.
suzymgrant10 November 2021
This was fantastic. I loved that it wasn't completely based on the pains of coming out, which so many lesbian shows/movies tend to do. It's obviously reality tv, so of course it's going to be outrageous, but I really did find myself connecting to these characters. This is a step in the right direction when it comes to representation. Also, Shiva & Cuppy really need to have their own show.

It's literally a perfect reality TV show and the first season was way TOO SHORT!! I know it's just going to keep getting better, this friend group is hilarious, genuine and the drama is GREAT!

Binged in a day
sarahkrafft-081632 January 2022
I like reality tv, but am so sick of watching straight people and their relationships all the time. We need more of this! LGBTQ+ TV that's not all sappy movies about coming out. I want fun, trashy TV and to watch hot lesbians living it up. A++

Those who are complaining that it's just like any other reality TV show, that's the point!!! There are endless straight reality shows, why can't there be one lesbian reality show? Who cares if it's typical reality tv? Also, It's really not because it has representation with all the others lack.

FINALLY
chloeelis15 November 2021
Finally a show that depicts lesbians as actual people! I definitely binged the whole season in one weekend and can't WAIT for season 2! If you haven't already I highly suggested watching this show.

Love
hernandezrandi4 December 2021
Great show. Putting Tampa on the map. We need these shows to leverage diversity on to our tv screens. If they stick to their authentic storylines and show themselves working hard, having fun, with a hint of drama, they can take it far. Great first season. Keep going!

Great show - ignore the homophobic reviews!
dakotadamiani6 January 2022
Watched this in two days. My entire friend group loved it & got invested in a few peoples "stories". It's similar to any other reality show but I think this is different in that there is very little female representation on TV when it comes to LGBT+ groups. The casting is also really interesting because the group (for the most part) knew each other prior to filming so we get to see a bird's eye view of their dynamics.

Hoping for a 2nd Season
NeonSpectator21 November 2021
It is reality TV, so you can't expect a master piece. The show was entertaining and did show some drama between 2 couples. However, the show does portray some of the cast member's backgrounds, and how they had to overcome prejudice while growing up, which unfortunately is a sensitive topic many LGBT+ individuals still have to face even today. The show sheds a good light to not give up in finding acceptance, and finding a group of friends who can support and accept you for who you are. Hoping Amazon renews the show for another season, and hopefully the 2nd season can show more topics and maybe a larger cast.

Surprisingly good
sophiegaga7 November 2021
I didn't really like the first episode, but I kept watching and I was pleasantly surprised with this show. They touch upon important topics (and they do it well in my opinion), and it was just fun reality tv. Hope we get more seasons!

Love this crazy, fun, roller coaster ride!
wcnfzgms8 November 2021
Totally binge worthy! Entertaining, funny, lot's of Juicy parts (no pun intended).

Opened up a whole new world for me. I was schooled about their community and impressed by these ladies especially by their credentials. I have the utmost respect for our nurses out their especially their hard work throughout this Covid epidemic.

I love the fact that they are all gorgeous. I respect their all educated yet real and candid regardless of what other's may judge them on ie: their sexuality.

I Love Shiva's humor and appreciate how tight-knit and caring they are for one another. A must see for too many more reasons to list!
