From 2012's 'Husbands' to the new Netflix series, 'Uncoupled,' gay TV has changed a lot in 10 years, writes Tribune TV critic Scott D. Pierce.
Neil Patrick Harris stars as Michael in the new Netflix comedy series "Uncoupled."If you’re looking for incontrovertible evidence that the world has changed a lot in the past decade, look no further than a couple of TV comedies — “Husbands” and “Uncoupled.”
They were, of course, right. None of the terrible things anti-gay marriage activists warned would happen if men could marry men and women could marry women have materialized. Men and women are still getting married. Families haven’t collapsed. Nobody has married their dog. There’s been neither fire nor brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas aren’t boiling.
What makes it different is that Michael is a gay man who is abandoned by his longtime partner, Colin . They’re not legally married, but they’ve shared an apartment, friends and their lives as if they were. “He’s my BFF — boyfriend forever,” Michael tells his coworker, Suzanne . “B-A-R-F,” she replies.He’s hurt, angry, jealous and suddenly single in his late 40s.
As is generally the case in this kind of show, Michael is supported by his quirky friends Billy and Stanley , and the aforementioned co-worker, Suzanne . They each get stories independent of Michael in the eight-episode first season.
