The first season of Netflix's Queer Eye premiered in February, and by the time season two arrived on the streaming giant in June, the series had exploded into a smash hit. The new Fab Five — Bobby Berk (design), Karamo Brown (culture), Tan France (fashion), Antoni Porowski (food), and Jonathan Van Ness (grooming) — sweep into the lives of Southern men and women in an energetic whirlwind of "Oh, honey!"s and shrieks, repairing and organising their cluttered one-bedroom apartments just as easily as their fractured personal relationships.
Their goal isn't to tear them apart, though. This is a kinder Queer Eye, one that focuses on building on the strengths of its heroes rather than nitpicking their weaknesses. It's exactly what's made the cast so beloved, and why seeing them take home an Emmy for outstanding structured reality program would be so satisfying. And you have to admit — they'd give the best group acceptance speech.
