It Gets Worse: Cute Gen Z gay guy with self-esteem issues has two girlfriends, a weird interest, and a hunky bedtime buddy.

It Gets Worse (2026) is a new Britcom with gay characters on Paramount Plus, but hidden, invisible in "New Shows" and "Your Recommendations."  

Actually, I'm surprised to find a show with gay characters at all on the super-conservative streamer. I can't wait it to see how they portray the gay guy.

Ac, I found It Gets Worse (2026), a Britcom hidden on the super-conservative Paramount Plus o we skipped over it.  Today I looked for it again to review, but couldn't find it among the new shows on any of our streaming services.  Finally I had to ask Google AI: It Gets Worse (2026), on the super-conservative Paramount Plus, hidden so you have to search to find it. 

What are they doing in a gay bar in a hidden series on Paramount Plus?  This should be good. 

Episode 1, Scene 1: The Narrator tells us that Ethan (Leo Reich) has one of the easiest lives in human history, he has just met a guy in the park (gay identity revealed immediately), and he has lowered his screen time to six hours a day.  But, as he tells his therapist, he has this overwhelming feeling of hopelessness.  At least you live in Britain.  Imagine the gloom and despair here in the fascist state.

He just wanted to live in a crappy flat with the loves of his life, get drunk every night, and have nothing to worry about for ten years.  Is that too much to ask?  

Therapist: "Yes."

But they were kicked out of that flat, and they can't move into the new one for three weeks, so he's staying with this guy named Jesse, who is an awful person, which makes him hot.  Also his biceps, though I hate it when a guy flexes in the middle of the act.

"I wouldn't want to fuck somebody I respect...Life is hard, so woe is me.  Maybe everything is already over."  Try fucking someone you respect.

Suddenly the therapist (Andrew Scott) kisses him!  "Sorry, I have a real client in about 15 minutes, so..."  So this was like a f*tish scene?

"You're fine, you're valid.  Now open up for Daddy." He spits in Ethan's mouth. WTF?

Scene 2: Ethan shows his female flatmates, aka the loves of his life, the hole he accidentally made in his bedroom wall, trying to put up a picture with a drill.  They tell him that the landlady is coming by tomorrow, so he needs to fix it or they won't get their deposit back.  Girl, you never get that deposit back.  The landlady always finds some incredibly picky reason to keep it.

Cut to Ethan trying to pack and telling his flatmates about the plans for tonight:  booze, cocaine, and hit the club around 11:00.  They insist that he fix the hole first.

In other news, they need proof of income for their new place.  Flatmate Sam (a girl)  doesn't have a real job, and Ethan? "It's not my fault I got fired for using my phone too much."  Flatmate Abbi says that she'll get the pay stubs from her job.

They're glad that at least Ethan got a guy.  "We didn't do the bottom stuff, though.  It hurts.  I'm never going to get slammed by a huge monster c*ck!"  I heard that, brother.  Who wants to shove a telephone pole up there?  That's what mouths are for.

"Have you told your boyfriend Jesse that you're getting with other guys?"

"No, our relationship is casual, so it's assumed."

The two loves' romantic history:

Flatmate Abi is dating Tom, who won't do anything with her because he has a low libido.

Flatmate Sam had an ex-girlfriend who cheated on her, but she was unaware.  Until now.

Scene 3: Ethan and his mum drive his stuff -- in garbage bags -- to Boyfriend Jesse's flat.  Jesse (Arian Nik) comes out shirtless, which annoys Mum, but: "I'm so happy that Ethan finally has a boyfriend." 

"Um...he's not my boyfriend," Jesse tells her.

Mum is shocked;: "Ethan!  It's not safe to live with someone you don't know. He could be a scammer or a mad axe murderer."

"He's joking," Ethan insists. "We're very serious.  We're trying to have a baby."

When she leaves, Ethan asks Jesse to carry in his stuff, because he has to go.  

"I can't. I'm in the middle of..."

"Thanks.  I love you."

"Stop saying that!"

Scene 4: Straight Flatmate Abi and her boyfriend Tom (Sean Delaney) worry about telling the others the big news.  But at least they're happy: "We did it. We finessed life.  Endgame."  They kiss eight times -- I counted.  I thought you had a low libido?   

Then he has to leave for bouldering (indoor rock climbing without ropes or harnesses).

Alec Golinger: Australian actor/model famous for playing a trans kid bulks up, has femme friends, is obviously...with Keating c*ck and Sri Lankan n*de dudes

 

Link to the n*de photos

Australian actor Alec or Alex Golinger gets a huge amount of attention on the teen idol site, over 2,000 photos, always near the top of the list of Top Teen Idols.  Plus he has 250,000 Instagram fans.  Let's see what all the fuss is about.  

Starting off, he's got the three things that I look for in a guy to profile: First, a physique.

Second, guy-hugging photos, suggesting that he's gay in real life.

Here he's dating a limp-wrist boy with a femme ring and bracelet.

And third, absence of girl-hugging photos.

Wait -- in Photo #174, he's hugging a bikini girl in the pool.  Maybe she's his sister.

Alec's IMDB is shocking: only four projects, all shorts, all years ago:

Small Beginnings (2016): He plays a Kid.  Other characters include a Knight and Dramm the Barbarian (Matthew Keating).

Left: Matthew Keating's d*ck.  It may not be the same one..

Mrs. McCutcheon (2017): Tom (Alec) feels like he is actually a girl, so he puts on a dress and calls himself Mrs. McCutcheon.  This doesn't sit well with his third form classmates, except for the "tough little charmer" Trevor, who asks him to the school dance.  The plot synopsis uses he/him pronouns and never states that Tom is transgender, but clearly that is what is being implied.

"The Kids Are Alright," eight years later. Have any of the family's eight sons muscled up? Are any gay? Any adults with n*de photos?

  

Link to the n*de dudes

In 2018, I had already switched to streaming, but if you were watching network tv, you may have caught The Kids Are Alright , tucked between The Connors and Black-ish on Tuesday nights.  It was one of those "Looking back on my childhood" tv shows, like The Wonder Years and The Goldbergs.  In this case, Tim Doyle looks back on his Irish-American family in the 1970s with eight children, all sons.

Eight sons!  And Michael Cutlitz (p*nis on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) as the hot and extremely prolific dad!  If I knew it existed, I would have been there!  

No doubt they expected the show to last for several years, with cute kids changing into teenage hunkoids and adult musclemen before our eyes.

No gay characters, of course, but  Tim Doyle is the producer responsible for allowing Ellen to say "Yep, I'm gay" in 1997 (and threatening to quit when the skittish suits said "no"), and put a gay teenager into the Irish-Catholic Real O'Neals (2016-18), so he included some queer coding for two of the boys.  

Apparently viewers found this too skittish, when they could see actual, out gay characters on Modern Family, Riverdale, Will & Grace, and lots of other shows.  And they didn't want to wait around several years for the boys to grow into hunks.  Viewers dipped to 3 million per episode, compared to 9 million for The Conners and 5 for Black-Ish, so after 22 episodes The Kids tanked.

But let's see if any of the guys have turned on the hunkitude, or come out, during the last eight years.

First son Lawrence (Sam Straley) trained to be a priest, but left to help "save the world." And date girls.  

Sam is best known for The Dropout, Welcome to Flatch, and Waiting for the Light to Change.  I don't see any gay content in his work, but he's not married to a lady, so there's real life gay potential.

Second son Eddie (Caleb Foote) has a girlfriend, and disturbs his parents by being sexually active. 

Caleb Foote is best known as straight Agent Randolph on NCIS: Origins.  He's got a wife.

Third son Francis (Sawyer Barth) is queer-coded.  He joins a church boxing tournament to impress his dad, but can't take it, so Timmy (below) takes over; and "secretly" designs a set for the musical Timmy is starring in. 

Today Sawyer identifies as queer, and uses they/them pronouns.  They and Dylan Pitanza run the Utopia for Losers, a "punk and grunge" company dedicated to performing overlooked plays: so far,  Mud, Pounding Nails into the Floor, and Reasons to be Pretty.

And Crush, written by Christopher Paul Richards (below), with Dylan and a girl on a disastrous first date. I don't know why the promo shows two guys getting intimate (photo on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

Ben Lewis Doherty: Doc Martin's Plus One, a gay journalist, and the son of a gay gangster. All by age ten. With Smith and Pelphrey p*nis

I've been watching Best Medicine (2026), about a curmudgeonly doctor in small-town Maine, where there are at least three gay characters: Greg and George, who run the only restaurant in town; and sarcastic high school student Liam.  But could there be four?  How about 10-year old Peter Cronk, played by Ben Lewis Doherty? 

Kids are usually presented as straight by default, to promote the myth that boys are born longing for feminine smiles, and "turn" gay as as teenagers or adults.  But you never know.

Peter appeared in eight episodes in Season 1, and displays queer codes in most:.  

Episode 5:  He wants to stay after class to help teacher Louisa, and the other kids make fun of him, thinking that he has a crush on her.  He denies it: he's actually interested in the astronomy presentation she's preparing. A denial of hetero interest.

Later he tries to "fit in" by putting a whole apple in his mouth, and can't get it back out again.  Doc Martin cuts it out, and tells him don't bother trying to fit in, just be yourself. The oral stuff and the "be yourself."

Episode 7: On Halloween, the townsfolk put on a haunted house called the Blood Factory.  Peter hates it: he gets so scared that he wets his bed.  Doc Martin suggests that he face his fears, so he dresses as a vampire. And bonds with a buddy.

Episode 8: Peter is rather swishy as he criticizes Elaine's true crime podcast. (Femme behavior).  

Afterwards, her cameraman Al (Carter Shimp, right) calls her his girlfriend, and she shoots him down: "We're frisky friends, that's all."  Hurt, he quits.

 "What's a frisky friend?" Peter asks.  Lack of awareness of hetero-romance terminology.

Episode 10: Trying to spend time with Doc Martin, Peter comes in every day with invented symptoms, and invites himself along on his birdwatching date with Louisa.  Are you looking for a father figure, or do you have a little crush on the Doc? 

Later, he complains of a stomach ache, but Doc Martin thinks he's faking -- until the pain spreads to his shoulder, and his spleen ruptures!  Tense scenes in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

Episode 12: Peter asks Doc Martin to come to his school presentation on Norway, since his mom works and his dad doesn't care about him. Doc Martin says he's too busy, but shows up anyway.  Peter is overjoyed, and hugs him.  More crush potential.

Episode 13: Peter is the ring bearer at the wedding of Greg and George. The teenagers attend the weddding, but he's the only child, suggesting a special affinity with the gay guys.

 At the reception, he sits at Doc Martin's table as if he's the Doc's Plus One.  

In Episode 2.6, Peter wants the hunky Sheriff (Josh Segarra) to advise him on how to ask someone for a date.  He demonstrates by asking a woman named Savannah to get ice cream.  Following his lead, Peter asks one of the Mean Girls to get ice cream; she laughs in his face.  The Sheriff consoles him by noting that every time he puts his heart out there, it comes back stronger.

"So we should be honest with the people we love?" Peter asks.

"Right."

"Would you like to get ice cream?"  

"I would love to get ice cream with you, buddy."  Dude, he just asked you out.

It's probably not canonical, but it's enough to check out the other work of the 11-year old actor.

Ben Lewis Doherty lives in Massachusetts, where he began modeling and acting at age six.  His first on-screen role was in the short Weighted (2020): Macauley (Hudson Koonce) longs for the times when he lifted weights with his dad, before MS took its toll, so he strives for one last bench press.  Ben plays the young Macauley, and the cast includes bodybuilders George Sandalakis (left), Ismail Bronson, and David Arquilla (below).

Nice company for your first acting role, kid.

Next Ben appeared in Haze (2024): Joe, a young journalist (Cole Dolman),  returns home after rehab, uncovers the secrets of the town's psychiatric center, and gets a boyfriend (Brian J. Smith, n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).  Ben plays the young Joe.

A gay character, already!  Things are looking good for you, buddy.  Plus you're already buddying up to hot guys like Cameron Matheson.
