 You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince is a gay romance with a storyline straight from a Hallmark movie. The titular Matthew is exiled from New York to stay with his grandparents in their small town while he rides out a scandal. He is entitled, vacuous and arrogant, a badly-behaved poor little rich boy. Thankfully, the small town, and particularly Hector, a small town guy from a working class Latinx background, work their magic, permit a positive character arc and allow him to redeem himself. We also get to see some of the factors which contributed to his unlikeable behaviour.
