SHOW REVIEWS
"Gameboys has only gone from strength to strength with each episode... A truly first-rate series. Thank you for this gift of a show." - GIBBS CADIZ, Philippine Daily Inquirer
"The best series that has been produced during this lockdown... I've even forgotten that this is a Boys' Love Story. It has become so universal, so inclusive, and so encompassing." - GITRI SAN DIEGO, Entertainment Journalist
"Aside from the themes of coming to terms with one's sexuality and the struggle for acceptance in Filipino families - which have been tackled time and again in Filipino cinema - Gameboys also addresses the barriers in developing friendships and relationships in the time of coronavirus, when physical contact is not possible... The show not only gives the audience perspective into queer life under quarantine, but it also provides a window into many Filipino lives under lockdown." - RYAN MACASERO, Rappler
"Gameboys is a statement. Loud and clear. Watch it. Hear it. And fall in love." - BUM D. TENORIO JR., Philstar.com
