It’s not perfect, and last week’s episode on Kat’s identity really missed the mark, but there’s a lot to love about this queer, feminist show.

Plus updates on Coronation Street, The Young and the Restless, Killjoys, The First, You, and Atypical!

Holy cats, the show I fell in love with is back (at least for an episode).

Emily wore suspenders and finally asked a girl out on a date.

The town civil war that has defined this season just got a lot more deadly.

When you really shake Pretty Little Liars down to its core, the storytelling crutch it has leaned on again and again is: pinning a bunch of mysterious nefarious actions on an underdeveloped queer or trans woman and then murdering her.

Here’s how all the (and gay-adjacent) shows fared at last week’s network upfronts.

It has been 24 episodes since Emily had a real love interest. The longest any other Liar has gone without a love interest is three episodes.

The conversation of multi-dimensional black thought, and questions of isolation or not feeling “black enough”, is one that a lot black people are familiar with. It’s smart and nuanced. It’s also a conversation that fundamentally could not be filtered through a white lens. It could not exist on a television show that wasn’t like this.

Plus The Shannara Chronicles blesses Eretria and Lyria with a happy ending.

It’s been way too long since a building came to life to murder the Liars.

The Liars all have grand epiphanies about love, except for Emily who runs around in the woods for an hour trying not to get run under (again).

There were songs and bike races and hot air balloon rides and promises of forever and allusions to some of the most romantic tropes and movies of all times.

2017 somehow turned out to be the best year ever for lesbian and bisexual women on television — but we’ve still got a ways to go.

We’ve got Lena Waithe’s “The Chi,” a lesbian assassin in a parallel universe in “Counterpart,” budding superhero Anissa Pierce and her girlfriend badass bisexual bartender Grace Choi, Anna Paquin on a virtual reality holiday gifted by her wife and so many other lesbian and bisexual characters on now or coming soon to a teevee or otherwise-identified device near you.

Has anyone heard of that show The Bold Type?

Gay updates on: Riverdale, Once Upon a Time, Life Sentence, 9-1-1, Legends of Tomorrow, The Fosters, and Grey’s Anatomy!

Emily’s not dying after all. Sadly, neither is Ezra.
