While overall an enticing series the show has several flaws. As stated earlier Free Fall never refers to the characters as being gay. It is just understood and known. In fact it seems like almost every single character is queer. This is never really bad it just creates some minor issues. For one there are practically no female characters. A startling conclusion I just recently came to after watching the show for a while. Secondly the show seems to live in a vacuum where they’re seemingly not persecuted for their sexualities. Now I don’t want the focus of the show to be on them just being gay but I do wish that some of the story lines would focus on the challenges that a lot of queer men of color face both for being queer and for being men of color.
Despite not being perfect Free Fall still manages to deliver thoughtful, captivating representation of black gay men.
