The limited series 'Fellow Travelers' on Showtime, based on Thomas Mallon's novel, is receiving positive reviews for its portrayal of a turbulent relationship between two men. The series asks for true vulnerability from actors Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey, who deliver performances without compromise. The directors of three major Oscar-contending movies making their narrative film debuts faced challenges in working with actors and letting go of real-life details. Some movies that claim to be based on true stories may not accurately portray the events. Showtime's 'Fellow Travelers' is praised for tracing a forbidden love of historic proportions.
