“Euphoria” Finally Gives Jules Agency In A Special Episode Co-Written By Hunter Schafer
All I’ve wanted since Euphoria began was for Sam Levinson to write with people who actually have the characters’ perspectives — this episode shows why.
TV review
“Dickinson” Season Two: Same Vibes, Same Emily and Sue (Forevermore!)
In the first three episodes of the new season, Emily is still a chaotic, emotional, silly, passionate poet who is deeply in love with her sister-in-law and not afraid to show it.
“Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina”: The Chaos Ends But Not Without, Well, Chaos
Caught up in the inconsistencies in its own mythologies, the Netflix fantasy-thriller-teen drama-musical struggles to come to a compelling or coherent close.
“Tiny Pretty Things” Review: I Love and Hate This Netflix Ballet Show
Fun and frustrating, derivative and surprising, Netflix’s new ballet show Tiny Pretty Things is undone by its paradoxes.
Amazon’s “The Wilds” Brings Lesbians to a Deserted Island
The Wilds is sometimes cheesy, sometimes saccharine, all times dramatic as hell.
HBO Max’s “Veneno” is the Television Masterpiece Trans Icon Cristina La Veneno Deserves
For me, what makes the show so unique are the moments Valeria spends with Cristina and Paca and all the other trans women around them. It’s watching this cross-generational support among trans women that’s so important for us but so rarely portrayed on screen.
Peacock’s “Saved By The Bell” Reboot Is a Queer and Loving Skewering of the Original Series
“Does this place ever stop being weird?!?”
“We Are Who We Are” Doesn’t Do Labels
Are they dating, are they in love, are they having sex, are they best friends? It’s one of We Are Who We Are ‘s queerest pleasures that it’s not about definition.
“The Boys” Season 2 Gets Meta About Lesbian and Bisexual Representation
Elena pushes back on all this, saying she doesn’t want to change how she dresses and that actually Maeve is bisexual, but they say that the term lesbian is “an easier sell” because it’s “more cut and dry.”
Taylor Schilling and Roberta Colindrez Are Wives In Hulu’s “Monsterland”
If you’re expecting the gay episode of Hulu’s horror anthology to be like the gay episode of Black Mirror, I must assure you: We ain’t in San Junipero anymore.
“Perry Mason” Has Lesbians, Tatiana Maslany, and Way Too Many Boring Men
I guess what I’m learning about myself is that I’m not quite cut out for these slow-moving, period piece crime dramas. I like my crime shows to be procedural — if there are eight episodes, I want eight crimes. And I like my women front and center, thank you very much.
“Ratched” Review: Part Murder Mommi Delight, Part Complicated Horror Show
Ratched stabs, cuts, bludgeons, and mutilates what was past. The show is brutal, but provides relief for its queer women. Unfortunately, its characters of color and disabled characters are not granted the same care.
HBO Max’s British Dramedy “Pure” Is the First Time I’ve Seen My OCD On-Screen
By pairing a visceral portrayal with thorough descriptions of OCD, “Pure” becomes a teaching tool as well as a delightful dramedy. It’s also just a really good and gay story about a 20-something trying to figure out how to be a good person.
“Lucifer” Season 5A: Everything Is Gay and Everything Hurts
The first half of Lucifer’s fifth season is heaven and hell for the gays.
Season 2 of “Trinkets” Gives Us Adorable Teen Lesbians as a Parting Gift
Between the female friendships and sweet queer romance, Trinkets Season 2 didn’t have to steal my heart because I gave it freely.
Netflix’s “Teenage Bounty Hunters” Is a Godsend of a Queer Romp
It’s all so well done, and between the intense female friendship conversation and a few other things I can’t mention without giving too much away, I felt like I was seeing aspects of my queer life I don’t usually get to see on screen.
“The Chi” Season Three: Easy on the Eyes as a Queer Woman, Hard on the Heart as a Black Woman
With a total of five lesbian, bisexual, queer and trans Black women characters in the main cast, Lena Waithe’s “The Chi” certainly made history this summer. But did making “The Chi” gayer turn it into a better show?
My Top 10 Television Shows: Malic White, Who Loves Scary Women
You can scroll through my top ten shows and know exactly who I am and who I’ve been — a consistently queer, formerly goth, recovering musical theater nerd with a penchant for dry humor and scary women. Sharing this list is like showing you my diary if all my love poems were about Sandra Oh.
My Top 10 Television Characters: Kayla, Who Has Mommy Issues
A prime selection of Mean Moms and Women Who Could Beat Me Up.
My Top Ten Television Shows: Casey Stepaniuk, Your Friendly Neighborhood Lesbrarian
If this were completely honest, it would just be Buffy the Vampire Slayer listed ten times.
My Top 10 Television Characters: Carmen, Who Never Forgets the Women Who Deserved Better
Is it a coincidence that this list of “women I loved who deserved better” is comprised of women of color — and almost exclusively queer women of color? Given the intertwined histories of sexism, racism, and homophobia in this country, I think not.
