Episode 1: Buggy As Hell
Episode description
Part-Time Detective Trevor Campbell is at the end of his rope when he’s handed the biggest case of his career by mysterious matriarch Eve Majors: Who is Patient Queero?
With the help of his text-to-speech royalty-free A.I.-powered robot assistant Ruby 3000, he chases his first lead: a big book at the public library. Unfortunately, it’s all about bugs.
But so is everything else.

ABOUT QUEERIAL:
Ask anyone: something, somewhere, is making people queer.
In this limited series, full-time queer, part-time detective Trevor Campbell follows the fingerprints and feather boas back to the original scene of the crime. Hyper-sexual fungus bugs? Deepfake pyramid schemers? Career candy stripers from Peach Springs, Arizona? Anything’s game when the game’s afoot. You won’t believe what develops in the dark room of this hard-boiled, half-scripted absurdist radio noir.
