Good: The Makeup Tutorial
Netflix
Rebel’s face with all the different shapes of makeup splattered on is a great visual gag. As someone who does not wear makeup, I also have no idea how those shapes turn into a full face, so it made me feel less alone.
Bad: Yaz
Netflix
Stephanie: “There’s only 3 ways to become popular, become a cheerleader, work at Abercombie or to let guys go in the back door.”
Yaz: “I must be really popular then.”
There’s nothing wrong with a flamboyantly gay character, in fact, many gay people do indeed go to high school. However, Yaz talks a lot about boning guys, like… it’s his whole personality. His character is “the gay one” and there’s not much depth underneath it. Joshua Colley who plays Yaz gives a good performance, but the writing is where his character struggles.
