Disney+ series highlight 1980s themes and identity

Disney+ streaming content is being highlighted through discussions of its diverse storytelling and new adaptations. The series 'Pose' has been noted for its exploration of identity and the concept of 'chosen family' within the LGBTQ+ community, specifically set against the backdrop of 1980s New York and the HIV epidemic.

Additionally, the platform has released 'Fragments,' an adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel produced by Ryan Murphy. Set in 1980s California, the series is described as a teen thriller centered on a young writer navigating high society and a serial killer mystery. While the production is praised for its 1980s atmosphere and the performance of lead actor Igby Rigney, reviews suggest some irregularities in the adaptation and character development.
