It all starts with a ‘fun’ game, that ultimately set the scene for every character’s impending doom, in Netflix noir-thriller What/If. Lisa and her friends are asked by John, whether they’d ever allow their partners to play way, and the tension it ignites is one that it retains throughout its entirety.
Just a few days ago Netflix dropped their noir-thriller What/If, giving us just enough time to have binged the whole thing.
From the creator of Revenge we expected something over-the-top, sassy and addictive. All of which it delivered. One thing we weren’t expecting, though, was for queer characters and their sex lives.
Part of Lisa’s (thankfully diverse) friendship group consists of a gay couple, Marcos and John. After Marcos meets a handsome stranger Kevin in a bar, the pair invite him round because two’s company and three’s a party.
And props to Mike Kelley for creating sensual queer sex scenes that are on par with the direction of those in How To Get Away With Murder and Sens8. It was also refreshing to see the exploration of couples opening their relationship which whether you agree with on a personal level or not, are an increasing approach to modern gay relationships. It made me wanna go out and get laid, which ultimately, is what a good sex scene is supposed to do.
