I Love 'Queer Eye,' But It's Kind Of A Fraud
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING “Queer Eye” returns to Netflix for a third season Friday, starting with a new episode that perfectly captures the subtle emptiness and frustrating facade of each episode’s makeover moment. Of course, anyone with a heart should still get something from watching down-on-their-luck people get shiny new things, but that’s a different show than what “Queer Eye” is billed as. “I want to change the word to ‘special.’” While getting her hair done by Jonathan Van Ness, the “Queer Eye” beauty expert pontificates on the importance of regular trips to grooming and pampering specialists. For the casual viewer wondering why they can’t make their home look like the show with only a can-do attitude and belief-in-oneself, it’s because that’s not what “Queer Eye” actually sets out to accomplish beat-by-beat.
