Review:

Eyewitness is the first American series with LGBT characters as main characters. Philip’s character shows really well a young man comfortable with his sexual orientation that makes his coming out which turns out to be a positive experience. On the other hand, Lukas experiences a lot of interiorized homophobia and his father is very homophobic. These two different realities offer a good representation of what young gays experience today, but it can be frustrating to witness in their relationship and in Lukas’ family.
