A few famous friends extol Queer Eye’s Fab Five.
It seems inconceivable now, but when Queer Eye debuted in 2018, the reality series reboot felt like a gamble. Would audiences embrace the new Fab Five — interior-design wizard Bobby Berk, culture expert Karamo Brown, fashion guru Tan France, food and wine specialist Antoni Porowski, and grooming consultant Jonathan Van Ness? As it happens, the answer was a resounding yes. Five seasons on (plus one in Japan!), the quintet has rocketed to international superstardom, sharing their message of love and acceptance with viewers around the world. (And let’s be honest: Who couldn’t use a little extra love in their lives right now?) No wonder fans, famous and otherwise, can’t stop singing Queer Eye’s praises. Here’s just a sampling of what some have said about the feel-good, “make-better” sensation.

What a delightful, entertaining, big-hearted show. Love the cast. Can’t wait for more.

The visual transformations that Queer Eye subjects undergo are amazing, but it’s the inner changes they make that always get me the feels.

Spent tonight bawling my eyes out watching @queereye on @netflix. So much empathy and kindness but also wonderful loving transformations inside and out.

They’re really spreading good word and good work in places where maybe people still need to realize that gay people are not that different from themselves.
