Sometimes, on a rare harvest moon when the mermaids sing and the unicorns take flight, we’re treated to really authentic, layered, swoon-worthy portrayals of bisexual women on our favorite shows.
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences — like Hollywood itself, and mainstream TV criticism — continues to be dominated by a voting block of mostly straight white men. So, for the first time ever, we’ve decided to host our own Autostraddle TV awards to coincide with the Emmys.
Last night Queen Sugar concluded its third season. To mark the occasion, we got together to hash out what the hell is going on with Nova Bordelon and the realities of bi/pan erasure for black women characters on television.
Also: Quiet Ann’s heart is shattered on Claws, Ackley Bridge is a little bit sweet and a little bit scary, Remy and Nova finally broke up on Queen Sugar, and updates on your favorite daytime TV!
Plus updates on Queen Sugar, Younger, The Young & the Restless, General Hospital, and Critical Role.
Plus: Mariah and Tessa have a short-lived reunion on Y&R, The Originals gives us a queer wedding, what’s the damn deal with UnREAL, why has Queen Sugar abandoned Nova’s bisexuality, and more!
Plus updates on Queen Sugar, Legion, and Imposters
