Hulu’s “The Bisexual” Is Here to Make Every Queer a Little Uncomfortable

What impresses me most about The Bisexual isn’t that it skewers The Discourse, but that it ignores it completely in favor of having an actual conversation.

Netflix’s “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power” Is the Gay Agenda

Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina” Revels in Darkness, Misandry, and Witchy Fun

Netflix’s New “Haunting of Hill House” Gave Us a Lesbian Who Lives, Took Our Whole Weekend

The new Netflix reboot of Shirley Jackson’s classic has made a lot of changes; one thing that’s stayed, though, is kickass horror lesbian Theo — now with a whole backstory of complicated family trauma!

“Charmed” Review: Come for the Kickass Lesbian Witch, Stay For the Sisterhood

Mel, a graduate student in women’s studies, is the kind of misandrist, angry, radical, combat-boot wearing, feminist lesbian your mother warned you about.

“All American” Review: Bre-Z Shines as a Badass Lesbian BFF on the CW’s New Football Drama

All American’s been described by other critics as “The OC meets Friday Night Lights” and while there are certainly are some parallels, it does a disservice to brush it off as something you’ve already seen before.

Jodie Whittaker’s “Doctor Who” Is an Impossible Thing, a Miracle

Maya Rudolph’s “Forever” Is Finally Here, Quietly Queer

What I’m trying to say is: Forever is like if Portlandia had a baby with San Junipero and it grew up watching only Spike Jonze and Richard Linklater films.

Harlots’ Season Two Is Queer, Here, and Transcendent

Harlots’ second season has five queer women and a story that proves sex worker narratives are uniquely capable of illuminating the restless, uncomfortable gender dynamics and power structures that may experience shifts in style or public acceptance, but never by degrees of import or influence.

Princess Bubblegum and Marceline Smooch On-Screen, Live Happily Ever After in the “Adventure Time” Series Finale

Adventure Time’s hour-long finale, “Come Along With Me,” was everything I hoped for (and more) — it was weird and sad and silly and funny and harrowing and so quietly profound I’ll be thinking about it probably forever.
