Nathan Lane’s “Mid-Century Modern,” All About Friendship.

 By Laura Medina

Ryan Murphy’s take on the “Golden Girls”, for gay guys.

Mainly, middle-aged gays living in gay retirement, stylish desert community of Palm Springs near Joshua Tree Desert.

Hulu’s “Mid-Century Modern” double means the desert preserving 1950’s and 1960’s futuristic Space Age home architecture well into the next century. At the same time, middle -aged gays are stylishly preserved into the next century, being sandwiched in the middle between younger lovers and significant others, caring for older parents, and dying friends and partners.

Just like the “Golden Girks,” it’s friends who form a family.

No different for “Mid-Century Modern.”
