Good morning!
You Brits are so lucky. Desiree Akhavan (The Slope, Appropriate Behavior) is bringing her new show, The Bisexual, to Channel 4. The six-episode series will star Desiree as “New Yorker Leila, who is feeling lost in London. Recently part of an uber-cool power couple, she’s now split from girlfriend Sadie and is struggling to adjust. Moving in with a ‘stranger off the internet’ she soon discovers she’s swapped her luxe old life for a house-share with Gabe. He doesn’t know any lesbians and Leila’s not got too much experience of hanging out with heterosexuals — their worlds collide in deeply awkward and revealing ways as he becomes her unlikely wingman and helps her to navigate her new life dating men.”
Why bisexual women like Amber Heard are more at risk for domestic violence.
