Fak Yaass (2019)
Serving you Greek family traditions with a side of flaming homo.
Let’s be real. How horrible can it be for Nico, a gay-muscle-circuit-queen party boy, to return to his small ass suburban town and “take care” of his very very homophobic injured Grandfather (Papou)? Kidding…it’s actually tragic. This is a story of a self-realized gay millennial who has to deal with his obnoxious Greek families ignorance… and not by choice.
We all know someone gay in our lives. Yaass we all do, it’s the plain truth, daddy. Now, think about how the “one and only” gay person in the world you know. They had to come out to their family and friends, build a life for themselves and rise above all the bullying, hate, ignorance and just plain straight up homophobia. They most likely left their small town, escaped the hate and rebuilt a life that is full and fabulous, and theirs. That’s where this story starts. Can I get a FAK YAASS?!

I think this mini series was different and special in its own ways. As the storyline says, it shows the clashes between the old age & the new age millennials. A gay man struggling with returning home where he feels he’s not accepted. Also having to deal & take care of his homophobic Papou. As the series goes on, you see as Nico lets his family in and they accept him for who he is, until a family scheme might ruin everything. I thought as a mini series, based on true life story/events, it was well done.
I personally really enjoyed it. If anything, it teaches you that there is still a major clash between the older generation and the new. However, it shows you that there is still a space for everyone to see things in a different light. You just have to have the willingness to be open and listen. To see from a different point of view. :)
