A HULU original from 2022. A group of gay men descend on the titular island for a week long vacay & they're already feel themselves to be on the outs since they have to crash at their den mother's pad, Margaret Cho, living on the goodness of her charity (but the truth is she rather have company than not). Immediately the different factions of the group presents itself w/lead Joel Kim Booster (who also scripted) the alpha dog who rather sleep around then have a serious relationship, his bestie, Bowen Yang (from SNL), hopes to come out of his shy shell & meet someone while the remaining three (Tomas Matos, Torian Miller & Matt Rogers) are merely content to be away from the big bad straight city. Pairs are made, misconceptions arise & the end of the week will present the five w/hopefully a new outlook on life then the ones they came in with. Not bad for what it is, which is essentially a sex comedy which depending on your slant for where this kind of material swings toward but the over-reliance on the stereotypical presentation of our heroes constantly having sex on the brain becomes a bit much (believe me, if this was a straight laced tale, pardon the pun, I'd have the same opinion).
