Russell T. Davies' 'Tip Toe' explores rising intolerance

The new HBO Max miniseries ‘Tip Toe’ (De puntillas), created by Russell T. Davies, explores the identity of the LGBTQ+ community against a backdrop of rising totalitarian ideas and intolerance.

Spanning five episodes, the series utilizes a mix of comedy and tragedy to depict a world where social progress is under threat. Unlike more optimistic contemporary LGBTQ+ programming, Davies’ work presents a direct confrontation with reality, using humor as a defense mechanism against an impending social disaster.
