"Let's call a spade a spade, all of us boys on the show are liberals and the people we are meeting are mostly Republicans." Men struggling with masculinity is a"global issue", he says. Men are"feeling like they can't articulate what they're truly feeling and they have to conform to what's expected of a man.The first two series were filmed in the US state of Georgia. The third series, released later this month, was filmed in Missouri.
"I wanted to be visible in countries where they do not have the same rights as we do in the US and the UK. I wanted to offer a version of a gay man that is not a caricature or a stereotype. We talk about our marriages, our children, our mental health." France now lives in Utah, having moved to the US 11 years ago. It's a very"passive state" so he seldom receives any racist or homophobic abuse."I do experience it way more in the UK."They're yet to film the show in the UK."I am almost positive the reason I might be fired from Netflix is because they're so sick of receiving that email from me saying, 'Please let's go to South Yorkshire, please let's go to South Yorkshire.
