SERIES PREMIERE: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was a Bravo series than ran from 2003 to 2007. When it began, it was a breath of fresh TV air: Even in that early era of reality TV and makeover shows, it was a decidedly and unusually warm-hearted series, with more heart than heat. That made it different from the Gordon Ramsay model, and also came at a time when the show’s very premise – five gay guys advising straight men on fashion, cooking, grooming, decorating and other lifestyle factors – was a welcome and arguably influential advancement in the national perception of gays, like a DIY Will & Grace. The original show was delightful, and easy to watch and support, for those very reasons, at least for the first few years. Then its formula became so familiar, and its weekly emotional peaks so repetitive, that the show just became less compelling – which also happened, after time, with Survivor, The Amazing Race, and other reality shows I used to recommend. All this is to point out that starting today, Netflix has revived the series with a new cast of advisers, and a shorter title: Queer Eye. So if you were faithful to the original throughout, or are nostalgic for it now, or just want to see how the concept plays in 2018, here it is.
