I actually really loved this story but the ending just didn't do it for me.
It touched light upon discrimination and just pure hate towards anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.. it actually was a really touching story and I thought it was actually rather beautiful in it own way. This sort of discrimination happens every single day and the sentiment was there it just had a few bits that didn't do it justice.
I loved the fact that Jules (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) felt like the only way he could reclaim what was taken from him was by outing Preston (George MacKay) through revenge porn. I honestly thought at the end he would either go through with it and it ruin Prestons life, or he'd not go through with it and fall in love with his abuser.
The fact Preston actually found out at a drag show just didn't feel right to me. Why would Jules just randomly go up on stage and start blurting out about his plan for revenge. It just seemed like a rushed ending.
They also made Preston out to be a victim too much. Yes, he was probably hurt by someone else and that's exactly why he hurts others and hides who he is but that's no excuse for him to beat a person up. In the end I felt my deepest sympathy for Preston and it took away from the fact Jules was beaten and victimised by this man.
I'm not saying it was right for Jules to out Preston or post revenge porn but it felt a little messy as it built up to the end.
I don't know if Nathan Stewart (Jules) has ever done any drag work before but he really slayed it. As a massive fan of Drag Race he played this part like he belonged on Ru Paul's stage.
