I like Jordan Gavaris from Orphan Black so I watched the first Season of The Lake and pretty much enjoyed it. Gay characters are fine as a part of a storyline, and in this series, being gay was a primary factor in the father/daughter relationship, and that relationship was a major plot point for the series. That said, I feel like gay love scenes which don't move the story along are just there to be in people's faces for shock value, so I walk away from that. I watched a few minutes of the opening scene and left, and I won't be back because I'm not looking for social commentary. I'm just looking for entertainment.
