Gameboys

This series is an incredible story of two young men falling in love and the journey they take to be together as they navigate emotional trauma, meddling ex's and the COVID pandemic which has trapped them in their homes. I won't give away any spoilers, but the main characters are Cairo, a wannabe game streamer, who is reserved and has many walls built up around himself so much so that he is hurting himself and those around him. Then there is Gavreel, running his family's rental properties, he discovers Cairo's streaming and falls madly in love with him and decides to pursue him, but he soon realizes that he needs to form a deep emotional connection with Cairo if he has any chance of winning him over. Lastly, there is Pearl, Gav's BFF who helps bring them together and lifts them up when they need it, but isn't afraid to tell them when they are wrong either! This is perhaps one of the best gay love stories ever told. It is moving and will make you feel things emotionally that most stories never can!

There are two seasons of Gameboys and they are the ones to focus on. There is Pearl Next Door, which is a miniseries featuring Pearl that Gav and Cai also make a cameo in. Then there is Pa-Thirsty, this takes place after season 2, but only has Pearl and Achilles in it and all of these make up the 'Gameboys Universe'. There is Gameboys: The Movie, but that is not new material, it is season 2 with many scenes cut out to package it as a movie.
