Netflix’s “Get Even” Is “Foxfire” Meets “Pretty Little Liars,” But More Mediocre and Slightly Less Gay
Is ‘Get Even’ a good show with a robust queer storyline? It is not. Did I watch the entire thing in two days anyhow? I sure did!!!! Should you do the same?? Probably!
Queer British Teen Dramedy “In My Skin” Hits Hard on Class and Mental Illness, Misses on Race
Ultimately Kayleigh Llewellyn’s show proves that writing from a place of lived experience will always result in the sharpest stories — that’s as evident in its failures as it is in its successes.
“The Bold Type” Makes a Last-Minute Finale Change, But Kat’s Storyline Is Still a Huge Mess
“Instead of feeling like an affirmation for my disdain for Kat and Eva’s relationship, it feels like The Bold Type is re-emphasizing one of the things that makes the Kat/Eva storyline problematic: diminishing the show’s lead black character to bolster the bonafides of its white ones.”
“Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts” Is the Best Queer Animated Series You’re Not Watching
Or maybe I was the only one not watch. Either way, we should all be watching!
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. You just haven’t met the right person yet, you’ll find love when you’re not looking for it, you have to love yourself before anyone else can love you, etc. But this show takes those sentiments and clicks a new lens into place over them.
Netflix’s “The Baby-Sitters Club” Invites You to Say Hello to Your Friends All Over Again

It’s quintessential One Day at a Time: affirming in a way that few other shows could be, affirming in a way that few others strive to be.
“Homecoming” Is a Homo-Coming, but It’s Not the Star Vehicle Janelle Monáe Deserved
I wanted “Homecoming” to be Janelle Monáe’s star vehicle and for her search to be as compelling as Julia Roberts’ during the first season, but sadly — it simply wasn’t.
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.

“Hightown” Review: Meet Jackie Quiñones, the Very Messy Lesbian Who Saves the Show
Centering a lesbian of color in an American crime drama does make Hightown feel different than some of its grisly drug drama companions (Ozark, Breaking Bad, Justified, to name a few).
Batwoman’s Dyke Drama Intensifies in the Penultimate Season 1 Episode
Sophie and Julia finally smooch on the lips, and Parker’s back with some teenage lesbian love advice.
HBO’s “Betty” Is Here and Its Skater Girls Are Queer
Sexual and gender fluidity feel possible for every character. It’s a girl power narrative that feels loose in its definition of girl — and certainly loose in its assumption of who those girls will date.
“Batwoman” Understands Everyone Is Gay in Gotham City
I can’t believe these heroes and villains have brought all their lesbian drama to bear on the resolution of the biggest arc of the season; I’ve been waiting to see this on TV my entire life!
