Bros Before

Two gay men with commitment issues, who are both seemingly successful in their careers and in their platonic friendships with a diverse group of LGBTQ+ people, decide to try to start a serious relationship. As they navigate the complexities of modern dating and their own personal baggage, they must confront their fears and insecurities to see if their budding romance can withstand the pressures of their lives and the expectations of their friends.

Bros was met with generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its humor, performances, and its significance as a mainstream romantic comedy featuring an all-LGBTQ+ principal cast.
