Much has been said about how Netflix’s Queer Eye is not your typical makeover indicate. Writing for The Ringer, Alison Herman points out “This Fab Five wants to take on its projects’ inner lives as well as their outer present; in fact, Queer Eye now realise improvements to the latter as a means to improve the former, rather than as a objective in and of itself.” And as an Out interview with the new Fab 5 explained, “The goal isn’t to give topics a makeover, but rather, as the guru call it, a ‘make-better.’ It’s about tapping into the subjects’ anxieties, playing to their strengths, and establishing a genuine, tolerating connection with them.”

All that is to say, Queer Eye sidesteps being a simple “user’s manual” and dives into a much deeper experience. And, if you watch closely enough, Netflix’s reboot is chock-full of practical advice that you, the spectator, can use to glow up your own life.
