From Heartstopper to Reality TV: Why I Kissed a Boy is a Game-Changer
BBC Three’s latest flagship series, I Kissed a Boy, has caused a stir in the UK as the first-ever gay dating show. The format takes ten pre-paired men who meet for the first time by kissing, but they are not obliged to stay in their pairs. As eyes wander, frantic poolside confessions and multiple utterances of “it’s nothing personal, hun” are sure to ensue. The show follows the ingeniously awkward format of the likes of Love Is Blind and Married at First Sight, but with a queer twist.
