Secret Society (2021)
Relevant Themes
A TikTok post is how I found out about this film. Having watched a few films featured on Tubi, I wasn't hesitant to take a chance in viewing this one. The production seemed good, and the storyline instantly grabbed my attention.
It gave me a birds-eye view on the lives of two beautiful, African-American, trans women.
First off, their beauty is amazing. They also dressed their asses off. I enjoyed their on-screen chemistry, and loved the friendship they had. It's refreshing seeing how two friends struggled and stayed together -- even after one hit the stable mark.
The adverse encounters with the heterosexual men were riveting, and I did feel a little sad for the girls.
I will not give any spoilers, but I will say it was, indeed, worth the watch. I'll definitely be watching Secret Society 2.
Coming Out (2022)
So Much Heart In This Series
I learned long ago never to judge a book by its cover. What I mean when I say this is, not all highly polished, big budged films are good, and neither are those with less of a budget meant to be easily dismissed. Over the years I have learned to look beyond all the gloss for a powerful message, and Coming Out was quite the pleasant surprise.
I have checked out many of Signal 23's projects, but none have been as pleasurable as this one. All the themes it dealt with were honest and transparent. The young man in this series had layers of circumstances to overcome as he had to come to terms with his own sexuality. I really felt for his character, and was pulling for him, hoping he didn't lose himself in all the chaos of life.
What I loved most is that the story stayed on track, and was very believable. This is some of Signal 23's best work. Once I started watching the series, I couldn't stop, and binged all 10 episodes. Thank God Tubi had it available in its entirety.
Keep up the great work!
