Exploring LGBTQ+ Life in Singapore: People Like Us Season 3

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. The characters drift into one another’s worlds – and beds – as they navigate love, lust and life in the big city.

Picking back up with our central group, Season Three finds Joel (Josh Crowe) dealing with grief, struggling with the dating scene and binge-eating his feelings. Meanwhile, Ridzwan (Ifran Kasban) distracts himself with work and sex as Isaac (Steven Lim) falls deeper into his substance addiction. Finally, post-‘honeymoon phase,’ Rai (Hemant Ashoka) and Haniff (Syaheeran Othman) are facing new and unexpected challenges as a serodiscordant couple, one being HIV+ and one HIV-.

In addition to the sexual escapades and relationships that unfold between these characters, People Like Us explores themes of acceptance, community support, the challenges of dating, substance abuse and HIV awareness in the local LGBTQ+ community.
