A dramatic and powerful series we live with a girl called Laila. New Yorker Laila lives a perfect life with her friend in London. Laila may be hiding that she has a dangerous secret that she is bisexual. The events begin with Laila, who finds herself an unexpected ally in Gabi, helping her to live a new life for both men and women.
As Leila, Desiree Akhavan, is dry, subtle and hugely funny, her light New York accent barely rising above a monotone and yet, somehow, expressing eloquent emotion.
Far lighter than, say, Fleabag, but sharing its arch humour, the miniseries hones in on the difficulties of apparently betraying a group you've long felt part of.
The Bisexual is really a show about people who set out to carve themselves new, pioneering alt culture identities in their twenties, then find themselves deep into their thirties with no clear roadmap for what comes next.
It's earnestness shines through as it educates us on how people often misunderstand bisexuality. However, as a six episode dramedy, The Bisexual feels a bit thin.
It's rather good, in its way, Desiree Akhavan and Maxine Peake as a broken lesbian couple exploring their options, but the last taboo... for whom, exactly?
