COMEDY CENTRAL'S THE OTHER TWO IS READG MILLENNIAL GAY LIFE FOR FILTH

Season 3, Episo 1 - 'Gay Wch Hunt'Perhaps one of the harst episos to watch is the Season 3 opener, which Michael lls Osr (Osr Nunez) "f**gy" for preferrg Shakpeare Love to Die jtify the e of the offensive term, Michael then go on a warpath, fendg his choice of words, before liverg a non-apology to Osr and outg him as then spreads around the office, wh Osr's skmate Kev (Brian Bmgartner) sniggerg about the revelatn and Angela (Angela Ksey) proceedg to make homophobic ments and potedly g hand sanizer after Osr returns to his sk.

Michael then enlists Dwight (Ran Wilson) to help him figure out who else the office might be gay before the pair ll Jim (John Krasski) at his new office to enquire about buyg a "gaydar" (a prank Halpert pulled on Dwight prevly). But the show’s first season has proven to be far more than a funny s — ’s a spot-on portrayal of lennial gay life, thanks to s characterizatn of one of the tular Two: 28-year-old Carey Dubek (Drew Tarver), a stgglg actor and part-time was a scene durg this season’s fourth episo, when Carey fally mters the strength to ll thgs off wh his credibly attractive but “vlently straight” roommate, Matt, that I fully fell for this show. And though Matt’s willgns to ocsnally make out wh Carey for a few sends at a time did update the stereotype a b, I uldn’t help but feel slightly trated wh the show’s cisn to play to such a hackneyed ncept — gay guy falls for straight du.
