Let's be crystal clear: this is not for kids, not for teens, not for family movie night. The Bisexual is adult television in every sense—explicit, emotionally complex, and unapologetically focused on sexual identity and relationships.
That said, for the right adult audience, it's genuinely good. Critics loved it for its honest, funny, and sometimes painful exploration of bisexuality. Desiree Akhavan brings the same sharp eye she had in Appropriate Behavior to a longer format, and the result is nuanced representation that challenges both straight assumptions and queer community gatekeeping.
The catch? Audience scores are middling (59% on RT, 6.5 on IMDb), suggesting this is more of a critics' darling than a crowd-pleaser. It's thoughtful and sometimes slow, prioritizing authenticity over entertainment. If you're an adult looking for smart LGBTQ+ content that doesn't pander, give it a shot. But this scores low on WISE because it's completely inappropriate for the family-focused lens we're using here.
