Queer Eye

Fab Five's show

Queer Eye is an American television series in which a team of gay men gives makeovers to guests—typically straight men—covering fashion, grooming, interior design, food, and culture.

The original *Queer Eye for the Straight Guy* ran 2003–2007; Netflix revived it in 2018.

The show helped normalize gay visibility in mainstream media: We binged the new season of Queer Eye last night.
