This was 12 parts, each about 11 minutes long and they were broken into smaller, barely connected segments. It was done as an over the top, slapstick-type comedy with a laugh track, but it really wasn't too funny. I watched this because it was billed as a gay romance, but it wasn't. An actor rents a room from a slightly older landlord and one night when the actor is livestreaming the landlord walks in with a towel and the viewers assumed they were a gay couple. Then for about 3 episodes the actor fools the landlord into streaming with him without telling him that people think they are gay. Eventually the truth comes out, the actor later falls on some hard times and the landlord helps him. That's truly the entire story, they end up as good friends. There is no indication that either characters are gay nor that they have romantic feelings for each other. The descriptions for this were very misleading.
