The series begins with a wide range of secret and exciting adventures with a girl named Laila. New Yorker Laila lives a perfect life with her friend in London. However, Laila conceals a dangerous secret that she is bisexual. The events begin with Laila and Gabi, who are dependent on each other, and the relationship that was born in the Awakening turns into a true friendship.
It's earnestness shines through as it educates us on how people often misunderstand bisexuality. However, as a six episode dramedy, The Bisexual feels a bit thin.
Far lighter than, say, Fleabag, but sharing its arch humour, the miniseries hones in on the difficulties of apparently betraying a group you've long felt part of.
As Leila, Desiree Akhavan, is dry, subtle and hugely funny, her light New York accent barely rising above a monotone and yet, somehow, expressing eloquent emotion.
It's rather good, in its way, Desiree Akhavan and Maxine Peake as a broken lesbian couple exploring their options, but the last taboo... for whom, exactly?
The Bisexual is really a show about people who set out to carve themselves new, pioneering alt culture identities in their twenties, then find themselves deep into their thirties with no clear roadmap for what comes next.
