Little primer because I feel like it's probably not that well known.

Noah's Arc was the black QAF, the gay Living Single/Sex and the City/Girlfriends. Short-lived but notable and groundbreaking for focusing on black, queer men. For me, the characters were more mature in some ways than the multiple series it mimicked -the show was less about growing up and more about finding your way as a grown-up. And also about hot bodies.

This is Noah - the Carrie. Noah is a wannabe screenwriter (because as we all know, writing is *that* job.)

This is Alex -The Charlotte. (The cutie getting brushed off is Alex's longtime/long-suffering boyfriend). Alex is an HIV/Aids educator, which is awesome because the show gets to direct focus on something that has been and remains a major problem in the black community.

This is Ricky -The Samantha. Ricky has a little bit of an unrequited thing for Noah. And later hooks up with Wilson Cruz(lucky man).

This is Chance -The Miranda. Chance is a professor whose first and strongest love is and will always be academics. Which is a problem with his newly domestic life.

They are Noah's ARC(get it, look, I love puns and whatever this counts as okay). And this...this is Noah's Big.

On the one hand, it's definitely hilarious watching Wade protest how straight he is when stuff like this happens.

On the other hand, he's an African American, macho, man's man having a bi-awakening as an adult and the show doesn't flinch away from what that means.

it's always hard to say goodbye 🥀
