Queer Eye is a popular Netflix original show that premiered its first season in 2018. It features a team of five gay men, known as the Fab Five, who provide their expertise in lifestyle and personal grooming to people in need of a makeover. Each episode follows the team as they help somebody transform their life in just one week.

In the first episode of season 1, entitled "Hair Today, Art Tomorrow: Brian S," the Fab Five are introduced to Brian, a scruffy and somewhat shy computer programmer who has let himself go in terms of his personal style. Though he is content with his life as a single dad, Brian has lost touch with his own interests and passions. His daughter reached out to the Fab Five in the hopes that they could help give her dad a much-needed boost of confidence.

The team get to work almost immediately, starting with grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness. He tries to convince Brian to let him take charge of his haphazardly grown beard and hair, but Brian is hesitant to change the style he's had for years. Eventually, Jonathan is able to convince him to try something new, and he sets to work giving Brian a fresh haircut and beard trim.

Next up is Tan France, the fashion expert on the team. He takes Brian shopping for some new clothes that will suit his style, coaxing him out of his comfort zone and into something a bit more interesting. Along the way, Tan teaches Brian about the importance of looking put-together and how it can impact one's self-esteem.

Karamo Brown, the cultural expert on the team, establishes a connection with Brian by discussing their shared experiences as single fathers. He encourages Brian to open up about his past and current struggles. Karamo helps him regain confidence and realize that he can be a role model in his daughter's life.

The fourth member of the team, Bobby Berk, is an interior designer who focuses on transforming Brian's living space. Understanding Brian's passion for art, Bobby converts his barren home into a gallery of art pieces that reflect Brian's passions and interests.

Lastly, Antoni Porowsk steps in as the food and wine expert to teach Brian some simple, healthy recipes he can make at home for himself and his daughter. Antoni also shares with him the importance of taking care of oneself by eating well and regularly.

Throughout the episode, the Fab Five help transform Brian's appearance and outlook on life. By the end of the week, Brian emerges with a newfound sense of confidence and a better understanding of who he is as a person. He feels revitalized and excited to show off his new look and attitude to the world.
