Movie #3447 ........................."Mid-Century Modern" (Hulu)

 Movie #3447 "Mid-Century Modern" (Hulu)  This is a show that is too liberal about LGBTQ to be on the major channels, but it deserves to be seen by many because it talks about things that are happening but not being talked about.  It isn't censored , so whatever comes out in the dialogue is pretty funny and very unfiltered. Too raucous for many viewers, I'm afraid.  It personally did not offend me;  and, in fact,  I found the three actors very capable , and as a result, they were able to get across many funny, sometimes silly (or too silly) but poignant things that happen when three gay guys  decide to live together in Palm Springs with the plan that as they age , they would take care of each other. And in this day and age, I found it quite fun to watch --- we need some laughs in our lives these days.  The best part of the series was built around a tragedy --- the death of Linda Lavin, who was playing Nathan Lane's mother who lived with these three guys.  So there's a dear tribute to her in Episode 9, and it is definitely worth the watch! I'd give this a 4 out of 5, but it isn't for everyone.
