'Coming Out Colton' tracks 'The Bachelor' alum Colton Underwood's LGBTQ education
CNN
Much like Caitlyn Jenner's coming-out education in "I Am Cait," "The Bachelor" alum Colton Underwood approaches the process of telling the world who he is almost like an anthropologist in the six-part Netflix docuseries "Coming Out Colton." It's a carefully constructed showcase for someone who, like Jenner and her extended family, appears accustomed to life under the camera's watchful eye.
The series notably follows Underwood during the run-up to the "Good Morning America" interview in which he revealed that he's gay, documenting a period in which he frets about how his parents, siblings, former high-school football coach and others closest to him will receive the news before telling the general public.
In a classic example of reality-TV gimmickry, a few of those exchanges unfold after Underwood expresses his anxiety about the conservation, then end on cliffhangers, such as they are, leading into the next episode.
