At the risk of confusing my credibility as a queer writer, I was quite harsh on Bros.
The inclusive cast is applaudable, but from inception, it was doomed to fail in delivering a meaningful, personal queer story, bc it borrows all its cliches from the patriarchal canon of Romcoms
'A love story so cliché it makes Love, Simon look like The Rocky Horror Picture Show'
