LMAO. So they slept together but all we got was a kiss?? Yet last episode we saw Omar have sex with Andrea. Spanish shows can do bait like no other. It is insulting. Wonder if False Profile on Netflix Wednesday will be bait? They're clearly showing which couple we are supposed to root for... lmao I'm not worried about False Profile, even though I'll try to have zero expectations to avoid any disappointments. They clearly don't know their audience as many saying Omar / Luca has most chemistry as a couple. They just made Omar Bi and sleep with Luca for some cheap drama with Andrea.

UPA Next: I agree it's a cop-out if the gay sex scene is relegated offscreen when the heteros and even the lesbians can do it onscreen. Really don't understand the logic because they have given Luca two post-sex scenes with minor characters where there was nudity, so why cut away from his encounter with Omar, the lead???
If they are not simply baiting us, and Omar is genuinely bi and in love with Luca, that will be quite a significant move since he is the male lead. It seems like a no-brainer for a drama set in a dance academy to have a queer male lead, but we can say the same about all the musical dramas where the gays (if they even appear) are only supporting characters.
Perfil falso: I too keep my expectations low about how good the representation will be, Netflix's Latin-American dramas always manage to turn out some very negative stereotypes. But I consider it a win to get Mauricio Henao in one of the gay roles, dude is gorgeous.

I just watched the episode.
It so laughable I seriously cannot believe it happened. They legit left the kiss in promo knowing people wanted to see what happened only to cut it out?
Only thing that could salvage this is if it turns out they did not sleep together and Luca left the room. Yet I don't credit writers.
What an insult to Bisexuality and also to Luca's character. If they did hookup it was basically for a storyline reason to create drama. The show getting trashed on social media as it should!

Thank you to everyone telling me to not watch Upa Next. Having the gays as the only ones without a sex scene is insulting and homophobic. I will not be watching that shitshow. Shows constantly do this... where lesbians get a sex scenes while the gay male couple doesn't. It's a huge red flag and I boycott those shows.

There's a Danish miniseries starting soon that will have a gay story. I tried to google it, but couldn't find it. I saw it on twitter, and I liked the tweet, but now I can't find it, ugh. I'll try to update this post when I find out the name. Update: finally found it! It's named One of the Boys. Trailer:

UPA next did backtrack on latest episode. It showed another flashback where after kiss Luca ran off embarrassed. Omar was supportive with Luca but Andrea heard a voice note when having sex with Omar about it I think. Not good with languages but now she knows.
So we got a gay hookup used as bait and now used as a reason to cause conflict.
It is disappointing but good news is it seems all viewers agree that it has been bait. 2 more episodes left so we will see. I don't see Luca getting another love interest so if they get a season 2 I can see them making Omar bi as fans more supportive of having a bi male lead. I doubt it will get a 2nd season though. Just writers did not have balls to do storyline most people would want to see. Instead they cater for those born in 70s than people who most likely to watch in 2023!?

I do not want to make own threads, so here a few things, maybe someone gets interrested.
First a parody song of the Pride Months and which Companies are proud of us, but mostly only in this month.
From the ZDF Magazin Royal, with Jan Böhmermann.
Something thats gives Joy and a Laugh, also that is in reality a bit a tragedy, because of the gape between Advertissing, Welcoming and Reality. All Directions - Be Proud
Than a Dokudramashow, about the backround, the people behind the OnlyFans Accounts. One is a Gay Couple in reality, how can this work, if you sell a part of your sexuality for show?! Watch Me - Sex Sells Note because of age restrictions, you must be 16 to watch it, so it is only online available after 10pm German Time. That is in Germany the timeslot for content above 16.

I think LGBTQ+ content is practically guaranteed, but with the cast list of younger actors - presumably the students - skewing slightly more female, it may be lesbians. IMO in this day and age, having lesbians should not preclude having gay males too - especially when the latter were a small but significant story strand in the original 1999 movie. Agree with you about Ryan Philippe, hopefully one of the new guys (all very attractive) recreates his infamous pool scene. Streaming should allow for that. Heck, even NBC a few years ago, when they tried to do a sequel pilot starring SMG, cast a hot guy as Sebastian's son and gave him a very similar nude scene.

New telenovela that is airing. Getting panned in reviews but trailer suggest gay relationship. The son falls for the hot chef but it looks like hot chef is manipulating the gay son as he has money. That my understanding from trailer. Not expecting much given how notorious latin telenovelas are for bait. Still annoyed they cut the hot Lucho / Diego scenes from La Dona Season 2. They where such a hot chaotic couple that it was only storyline I liked but actor who played Lucho said they cut a lot of steamy scenes between them. youtu.be/4CIGpoBCTAw

I only watched that show for them, and really found the whole show - and frankly the gay relationship - very objectionable. Lucho was a serial rapist and misogynistic killer of women, and making him queer really sent the wrong message about his motives. And on top of that, they had to self-censor the gay content but thought all the violence, torture and rape that were shown onscreen was fine?? Figures. What the heck happened to the telenovela industry? They took a massive stride forward with Aristemo getting their own spin-off (which I assume only happened because of the huge vocal fanbase and Emilio Osorio who played Ari being the producer's son) but since then they have backpedaled like crazy and now gay couples can't even kiss onscreen. It feels like violence, rape and torture have instead become the stock in trade for telenovelas. Productions of Juan Osorio (Emilio's dad) used to be family-friendly so I was shocked that his latest output had so much rape, torture, mutilation, and some terrific 'gay' content (sarcasm): an underage boy who's a serial rapist of girls his age being punished by being trafficked to male sex abusers. All things considered, I won't have high hopes for any telenovela (except maybe Netflix ones, which may not be great with messaging but at least they don't censor the gay content).

I remember the actor who played Lucho saying they did two sex scenes and kissing but it got cut. La Dona 2 was very bad but Lucho was a great character. Plus all viewers said they had chemistry which even main actress commented on. It is a shame they never wrote Diego's character to see what a monster Lucho was and instead have him turn into a murderer. I think they were planning to extend storyline but the show was wrapped up cause the writers / producers knew the show was just getting worse. The actor who played Diego's dad Braulio was so hot. Like a really mature man who was just a 10 lol

Looks like this new Max Original series Te quiero y me duele will have some queer male content, although I am cautious with it being an homage to the telenovela genre from Mexico and there's no clear sign of gay romance - only of a gay bashing. (Of course.) The actors involved look to be César Díaz and Pablo Carnes. Premiering on August 17.

There are rumours of another skam remake, this time in Korea. Given the wild success of the original, and of some of the remakes (notably France, Germany, Italy and Belgium) it has always surprised me there weren't more remakes attempted. Maybe they were put off by the remakes that failed. But all they had to do was avoid the reason those failed, which was common to the short-lived remakes.

While I would love to see more skam, not sure how well it will translate to Asia. While they can definitely copy the concept of social media and real-time clips, the content would have to be changed pretty significantly to fit Asian culture. Like, are they really going to show massive partying and alcohol/drug consumption?

Like, are they really going to show massive partying and alcohol/drug consumption? I don't recall OG Skam having really "massive" partying and drug/alcohol consumption? There were just house parties, and a bit of weed. And it wasn't really central to the story. If Elite, which does feature heavy partying and hard drugs, can be adapted to India, I think Skam can easily be adapted to Asia with the normal tweaks to "localize" the story. But it's not just Asia - how about a Latin American remake? Or South Africa? Or Australia? I don't know if Class (India), Heartbreak High (Aus) or Blood and Water (S Africa) are supposed to be those countries' equivalents of gritty teen dramas?

For my taste a bit to fast, so each Episode is only 15 min long, but maybe totally right for younger, with not a huge attention span , like with ADHS. But it is Fun and the other Actors, are mostly well known, like the Grandpa is Mister Sonnleitner and the Ex, is an old soap Actor.
