Fellow Travelers Review

Fellow Travelers is an aesthetically pleasing period piece that captures the anxiety and anguish of being a gay person in the 1950s. The show could have easily been a cliched love triangle between Hawk, Lucy Smith, and Tim, but it successfully veered away from that overused plot without taking the emotional hurt that Lucy and Tim endure by loving Hawk. The new additions bring a new layer to the story, but it is the exceptional performances from Bailey and Bomer that drive the story forward in such a way that you will root for the two men to be together while hoping they stay apart, if only for Tim’s happiness.
