That show was so underappreciated and its basically two biopics in one (Boy George plus Leigh Bowery) But it has great music.

Moby is a piece of shit. He hasn't made anything decent music and always comes off as a smug know-it-all who thinks he's smarter than everyone. I don't blame Natalie for not wanting to associate himself with that douchebag.
Regina Hall is currently being honored in my city's film festival (Seattle International Film Festival, aka SIFF) and damn does she deserve it. She goes above and beyond every time.
The Jake Lacy thirst, tho.
Leave Boy George alone,don't ruin all my 80's memories with these messy biopics.
the Moby stuff was blown waay out of proportion.who cares if he dated Portman or didn't. i find the huge backlash odd tbh.
markgordunk I think they’ll do right by boy George, because let’s be honest he’s not a big enough star to get some wide release big budget biopic. His movie will be smaller and therefore not as worried about turning off mainstream audiences with his personal life. His biopic won’t be a big enough deal to be sanitized.
