Following the lives of four gay men, People Like Us, a short-form series from creator Leon Cheo, offers up a poignant reflection and insightful look at being gay in modern-day Singapore.
Issac (Steven Lim) is a senior private banker exploring new freedoms after living a double life hosting chem-sex parties. Ridzwan (Irfan Kasban) is a discreet accountant who keeps his work and social life separate. Joel (Josh Crowe) is a smart, but woefully impatient public relations yuppie who struggles to maintain long-term relationships. Lastly, Rai (Hermant Ashoka), is a young and idealistic conscripted soldier who is searching for love.
These characters drift into one another’s worlds – and beds – as they navigate love, lust and life in the big city.
In addition to the sexual escapades and relationships that unfold between the characters, People Like Us explores themes of acceptance, community support, the challenges of dating, substance addiction, and HIV awareness in the local LGBTQ+ community.
Check out the first season of People Like Us – now available on Dekkoo! The next two seasons will be available in the coming months.
