PLATONIC | Digital Series
WATCH SEASON ONE HERE NOW.
A short-form digital series about modern relationships. All 10 episodes of season one are available on YouTube now.
Nominated for The 2021 Queerties for Best Digital Series. Summer Spiro nominated for Best Performance | Digital Series.
Set in a memory of New York City just before the pandemic, PLATONIC follows Olive (a gay Brooklynite) and Billy (her straight best friend) as they look for love and document their search via voicemail messages to each other. This 10-episode series juxtaposes the radical intimacy and hazy boundaries of non-romantic relationships with the sexual fluidity and emotional ambiguity of modern dating.
“[T]he series feels like a bite-size version of ‘Girls’ or ‘High Maintenance.’”
— The New York Times
"With mellow lighting and a lively soundtrack, Buckley created an aesthetic worthy of Sofia Coppola – and on an infinitely smaller budget. That’s a big accomplishment.”
— AfterEllen
“[W]hen I finished the final episode, I found myself wishing I could spend more time with these characters and in this world; I want more from them and for them, and I hope this leads the eminently talented Erin Buckley to make whatever she wants next.”
— The Queer Review
