Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer’s gay period drama ‘Fellow Travelers’ earned rave reviews and debuted with a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The queer series has received a perfect 100 percent critics’ score on the review aggregation site which means all of the reviews about it so far have been positive.
Similarly, the first reviews for the drama have been pretty positive with Judy Berman of Time Magazine writing, “Nested within a case study of gay political life in the second half of the 20th century are eight episodes of gorgeous romantic drama in a medium that rarely seems suited to the genre.”
Aramide Tinubu of Variety said “A complex, intimate, captivating and visually stunning portrait of anguish and desire, “‘Fellow Travelers’ is an expansive tale set primarily at the height of the U.S. government’s war on communists, “subversives” and “sexual deviants” and ending amid the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s.”
Michel Ganem of The Cut wrote, “‘Fellow Travelers’ is an emotionally resonant reminder of how damn hard it was to be queer throughout those decades: the sacrifices made in the name of reputation and safety, the corrosiveness of shame, the chronic fear of being uncovered or at the hands of the police’s violence, and all in the decades leading to one of the most mishandled epidemics in modernity.”
