LEVEL UP TV SHOW UNSTOPPABLE SERIES
What better medium to illustrate how people have had to connect with each other during COVID than online video gaming? We all already game online anyway, it’s no stretch of the imagination that bonds are formed through it.Īccording to Starmometer, series creator Jun Robles Lana had this to say: The reason why there are separate camera views is so the series could be filmed safely, the actors recording themselves from home with virtual guidance. What’s fascinating about this series (besides my immediate interest because YAY LGBTQ+ MEDIA WITH POC) is that they not only address COVID in the story but with the production itself. So what’s Gameboys about? From what I could find online without majorly spoiling myself (since the first season ended back in September) the story begins when live streamer Cairo (screenname Caimazing) loses a match to Gavreel (screenname Angel2000).Ĭairo wants a rematch against Gavreel, and Gavreel responds by… confessing his love for the streamer! In return for a rematch, Gavreel wants a date with Cairo! BL hijinks ensue, complete with developing feelings, exes, and, well, the pandemic, since it takes place in present-day 2020.
