Fancy, fashion and fabulous
The world of fashion is not a difficult world to showcase on screen. Fans of Devil Wears Prada know very well that what makes a show based on fashion a hit is not its glitter and pomp but the rawness of the character it shows. The strongest point of The Fabulous is it's fantastic storyline that tackles the most wonderful of ways for characters to develop, mature and yet never feel too tedious.
In its main leads, much like Devil Wears Prada, The Fabulous never misses to show the reality of what makes the world of fashion so fancy yet so difficult to tread inside: passion. The main characters are a mix bunch, a marketing agent, a photographer, a model and a designer yet all tied by the same threads of the hard work to pursue that they really wish. I think that is what makes them so "fabulous".
In a society that is still stringent about same sex relationships being publicly showcased, The Fabulous tackles queer relationships with a sensitivity and normalcy that I wished other dramas did. While you watch these special relationships blossom in their own way even though with very less dedicated screentime you still feel heavily for them.
And yet amidst all this, the glamour and the drama of the fashion is not lost. Watchers of Emily in Paris who love the drama of the show, need to watch Fabulous for an even better treatment of the world. Get ready to dazzle your eyes and often also feel deeply for these characters.
