For one, it’s now just called Queer Eye — most of the “makeovers” are straight-identifying men, but not all, and that’s less of the focus this time around. Instead, the reboot’s Fab Five experts (a different cast than the original) pepper their advice on food and wine, culture, fashion, design and grooming with conversations about racism, homophobia and politics. Queer Eye, which was released on Wednesday, was given eight episodes on Netflix, and all are based in Atlanta. For the most part, it’s getting glowing reviews despite taking the different tack. NPR’s Glen Weldon writes: “The new Fab Five prove dependably charming and charismatic, and rule over the show’s familiar bailiwicks — though they do so, it must be said, with a bit more wet-eyed sincerity than the O.G. crew.” On its first day out, “Queer Eye” had an 86 percent positive score on Social. –Alex Shultz
