In a lot of these reviews I read that people are bothered by the historical inaccuracy, but you guys are clearly just missing the point. This series is about young people with a dream, a dream to make a film. Each of them has their problems, what makes it difficult for them to accomplish that, but they keep trying and eventually they're getting there.
No, it's not realistic for that time that a black, gay man wins an Oscar or even gets the chance to write a film. No, it's not realistic how many gay people there even are in this series. And no, it's not realistic that a black woman plays the leading role. But do these things actually matter? Also no. The filmmakers were not trying to show us what it was like to make a film back then, y'all are watching this for the wrong reasons. It's fiction, not a documentary.
By the way, t's not even like they didn't have to try or that everything went so easily. They had to fight for it, for making the film, for bringing out the film and still not everyone accepted them for who they are. Also, the acting, the decor and the costumes are great! I enjoyed watching this and in the end that's all that really matters. It's a beautiful series and I recommend watching this to everyone, except for the people who think this is non-fiction or something.
