Overview

• The eight-episode series follows a gay teen navigating 1990 Marine boot camp at a time when service members were required to hide their sexuality.
• Adapted from Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine, the show features White as a writer and executive producer.
• Early reception highlights a heartfelt, character-driven story and a ’90s-infused soundtrack, with some reviews noting sparse romance and tonal unevenness.
• The project was greenlit in 2023, paused during the Hollywood strikes, wrapped filming in August 2024, and marks Lear’s final executive-producer credit.
• Cast interviews point to hopes for a second season after a setup for future chapters, though Netflix has not announced a renewal.
