Matt Bomer and Nathan Lane’s Gay Sitcom ‘Mid-Century Modern’ Is a Pleasing Spin on ‘Golden Girls’: TV Review

variety.com:

Aramide Tinubu “Will & Grace” creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan have reteamed for Hulu‘s newest original sitcom, “Mid-Century Modern.” The series is a mostly delightful comedy that blends the wit of their groundbreaking sitcom with the charm of “The Golden Girls.” Set in Palm Springs, the series follows three gay male best friends of a certain age who find themselves living together following an unexpected death.

While co-habitating, the trio navigates aging, grief, love, long-held secrets and everything in between. Though the show does lean into several stereotypes of the LGBTQ+ community, it’s all done in good humor and with a bit of flair.

It’s also an interesting rarity in the streaming age — a James Burrows (“Friends,” “Will & Grace”)-directed, multi-camera sitcom filmed before a live audience. “Mid-Century Modern” begins at a funeral.

Bunny Schneiderman (Nathan Lane), a successful brassiere magnate, and former fashion journalist Arthur Broussard (Nathan Lee Graham) are seen standing over the casket of their friend George.
