Absorbing, Entertaining, Thought-provoking, Delightful

See it if you enjoy watching up and coming actors performing well.

Don't see it if you need the script itself to be deeper than a scraping of the surface.

Disappointing, Relevant, Resonant, Entertaining, Cliched

See it if you want to see a piece about young people trying to figure out the world and their place in it.

Don't see it if you don't like to see characters do unbelievable things or experience an outcome that the plot does not support.

Great acting, Thought-provoking, Sad, Inconsistent, Problematic

See it if you're interested in different (though problematic) takes on contemporary sexuality.

Don't see it if you don't want a bunch of straight people's perspectives on what it means to be gay.

Cliched, Great acting, Thought-provoking

See it if are against the "gay movement" and you "just can't understand" why gay people exist or you are looking for something well acted & staged.

Don't see it if you are sick of cliche and stereotypical characters that don't contribute anything new or insightful to the dialogue.

Disappointing, Great acting, Cliched, Unsatisfying but realistic ending

See it if you can identify with a lead character who is afraid of confronting his sexuality. Jake Epstein was excellent.

Don't see it if you don't like LGBTQ shows or are looking for a show that wraps up the story in a pretty little bow.

Great acting, Relevant, Overrated, Thought-provoking, Cliched

See it if you want to see good actors in a less than profound treatment of bisexuality.

Don't see it if you expect to learn anything substantial about the fluidity of sexuality.

Cliched, Slow, Relevant, Ambitious, Dated

See it if you're interested in gen-x contemporary theater about sexual identity, handled with simplicity; small productions.

Don't see it if you're looking for in-depth, original, well-thought-out drama about the fluidity of sexual identity; this one is sadly full of stereotypes.
