As Jesse Chaffey from Screen Rant hypothesized, one major reason for viewers' loyalty is that it showcases genuine and unapologetic stories from the queer community.

There has also been talk of a twist.

"I hated it. I wanted it to not be how it was — at the beginning. Then we got into the game, and I was like, 'Oh, I do like it.' She's hot and she's cold."
