While there is more than a grain of truth in Netflix's "Hollywood" series, there is a ton of liberal gay fantasy all over the place. I watched the entire series and while was entertained somewhat, I found them skirting the pornographic line about as close as you can get without full frontal nudity and actual sex on camera.

In fact, in the 1948ish time frame of the series, there was sexual perversion out and about Hollywood that would probable equal what is shown in the plot yet it was not as public as "Hollywood" offers up. Folks in the industry knew what was going on but they did not do anything to make it public. Matter of fact they spent considerable time, money and effort to keep it out of the public eye. The out and out sex going on was common knowledge but not public knowledge outside the tight knit film community.

Even in my limited time on the Looney Left Coast, most of the sexual proclivities of the stars, directors, producers and studio heads was known even down to the small fry extras. I was offered parts if I would come across, so to speak, yet I was straight and had no interest in performing in gay sex for any payment big or small.

And I was also once offer the same thing by a female casting agent, but passed on it. Now, I will go to my grave wondering if she had been much better looking and better built, would I have given in? Guess we will never know--

So, I would recommend watching the series if you have a strong enough stomach to get past the hard core gay dialogue for if nothing else to see Jim Parsons forever leave Sheldon Cooper in the dust. He give us the most contemptible, disgusting character in his portrayal of real life agent Henry Willson who made Rock Hudson both figurative and literally. I will now always watch Sheldon in "The Big Bang Theory" reruns with one eye cocked for him breaking out in full blown Henry Willson--
