Netflix’s “Teenage Bounty Hunters” Is a Godsend of a Queer Romp

Netflix’s “Get Even” Is “Foxfire” Meets “Pretty Little Liars,” But More Mediocre and Slightly Less Gay

Queer British Teen Dramedy “In My Skin” Hits Hard on Class and Mental Illness, Misses on Race

“The Bold Type” Makes a Last-Minute Finale Change, But Kat’s Storyline Is Still a Huge Mess

HBO Max’s “Love Life” Made Me Believe Love Isn’t a Lie and Also There’s a Lesbian
So often, when you’re single, especially if you’ve been single for a long time, people will give you the same empty platitudes.

As a Queer South Asian, “Never Have I Ever” Been So Let Down
The reason I didn’t like “Never Have I Ever” wasn’t because I didn’t feel seen. It’s because Mindy Kaling and I are clearly looking at the same world, but Kaling is expecting me to overlook all of its pain.
Blood on the Dance Floor: “Killing Eve” Season Three’s Last Tango Is Sexy as Ever
“Killing Eve” is far from its cat-and-mouse beginnings. There’s the looming question of who’s in control. Villanelle and Eve are each other’s captors and captives. All at once.
