Set in a luxury Ibiza villa, There’s Something About Miriam featured six men competing for Miriam’s affections, unaware of her transgender identity until the reveal at the end of the series. The shocking twist sparked a media frenzy, raising questions about reality TV’s cruelty and society’s understanding of transgender lives. Miriam, despite her confidence and star power, faced widespread mockery, with her gender treated as a punchline.
Fifteen years later, at age 38, Miriam tragically passed away. While her death was ruled a suicide, many close to her suspect foul play, leaving lingering questions. This series explores Miriam’s life, death, and legacy through interviews with family, friends, and colleagues, delving into both the world of early 2000s reality TV and Miriam’s complex life journey. It also reflects on the UK’s limited understanding of the trans community at the time, and how Miriam helped shift those perceptions.
