The 3 middle aged gay losers are so funny...

Watched all the mini episodes on YT and love the whole concept for this show. Ohio gay guy here, 61, with life long artistic interests....so this show really resonates with me. It's about 3 gay guys who have tried with limited success to break into the LA entertainment industry. But after decades of trying, they are all still scrapping to get by, living on the edge of homelessness. Love the use of the occasional MF word...it's used for comic relief with a touch of shock value. Love the way the relationship between the two muscle guys is depicted. The younger one, 35, is more grounded and successful compared to his older friends. He's a bit of a dumb brute, but has a heart of gold. The way he nonchalantly cozies up to and clings to Rich Burns, the actor/writer, and then delivers constructive advice on how to live within one's means is precious. The chemistry between these two always seems authentic and well acted. Love the show...it's down to earth and shows a side of life that's not often depicted.
