POSE is an American drama television series that explores the vibrant ball culture scene of New York City during the 1980s and 1990s. This LGBTQ subculture primarily involves African-American and Latino communities, showcasing dancers and models who vie for trophies and prestige in underground competitions. Central to the series are the chosen families, known as Houses, that provide support and a sense of belonging to their members. Set against the backdrop of the late ’80s and early ’90s, POSE not only highlights the exuberance and creativity of ball culture but also examines the broader social and economic impacts of capitalism on these communities. soap2day
