"Fellow Travelers' Review: A Superbly Paired Cast Ignites Showtime's LGBTQ Drama"

Showtime's limited series "Fellow Travelers" explores the lives of two men, Hawk and Tim, as they navigate love, trauma, and societal pressures in the backdrop of McCarthyism and the early days of the AIDS epidemic. While the performances of Matt Bomer, Jonathan Bailey, and Allison Williams are consistently compelling, the series struggles to balance its passionate and emotional elements with by-the-numbers storylines. The McCarthy subplot feels disposable and detracts from the central love story. Despite its flaws, "Fellow Travelers" offers a glimpse into the complexities of forbidden love and the impact of historical events on personal relationships.
