Exploring the Bold and Untold Aspects of Gay History in "Fellow Travelers"
Fellow Travelers, a new TV drama based on the 2007 novel by Thomas Mallon, explores a tragic love affair set against the backdrop of real events spanning almost 40 years. The show, which aims to push gay love into the spotlight, features explicit gay sex scenes that are both jaw-droppingly graphic and crucial to the plot. While the series is visually stunning and offers an intriguingly transgressive element, it falls short in terms of character development and pacing. Despite its flaws, Fellow Travelers provides a more successful portrayal of a behind-closed-doors romance compared to other recent adaptations.
