We don't know if she's straight, she said she doesn't want to share or be forced to share if she is or not.

But we do know it was adapted by a gay man so the show is made by a queer person ultimately

My boyfriend and I finally decided to check this out and absolutely hated episode 1. Not because it’s necessarily bad but because it doesn’t go anywhere. It’s barely anything more than a soft core porn drama with cliché writing and bland characters. Maybe I’ve watched too many shows in my lifetime so my standards are high but this is sooo vanilla and is clearly made by someone who has very little to do with gay/queer culture.

Straight women can have it though, I can’t be too mad. The casting is great and most of the Russian language I heard seems to be from native speakers (apart from the main character but it’s okay). I just wish that at some point we get a mainstream gay character who is more than a white cis (muscular) body with a somewhat tragic love story. For what it’s worth this has been thoroughly explored by European indie cinema in the last 20 years.

All drag is valid!

except for heartstopper
