56 Dean Street’s web series The Grass Is Always Grindr is back.
Handsome closeted boxer Adam (Taofique Folarin) and ‘loud and proud’ Insta-famous Joe (Denholm Spurr) struggle with their romance. In season 2 Adam tries to balance a HIV diagnosis against his upcoming fight, and PrEP-taking Joe ends up on the chillout scene. Francis (Jonathan Blake) has a fling with a twist, and Ryan (Matthew Hodson) confronts ghosts from the past.
