Alphonse (2023)

Engaging, funny, clever, sexy, deep, creepy, and lots of fun!

I loved it.

A funny, cringeworthy, clever, engrossing, joyous, deep, tender, sexy, silly fantasy of aging and sexuality, wrapped in plot full of twists. You want to turn away, but you can't stop watching.

Definitely some adult themes. Occasionally the boundaries get pushed pretty far, but it's done with such style and empathy for the characters that it works.

I'm hoping it will be picked up for another season while retaining the quality and originality of the first season. It seems a lot of series I've watched lately do a great First Season and then drop the ball after being picked up for later seasons. I'm hoping they can keep this going for a Second Season and beyond without losing the quality and vibe of the First Seaon.
