Pride Month: LGBT+ series I've watched

Eyewitness (5 stars)


Love, Victor (5 stars)


Insatiable (3 1/2 stars)


Disposable Teens (3 stars)


Batwoman (4 stars)


Legends of Tomorrow (3 1/2 stars)


Freedom Fighters: The Ray (4 stars)


Heartstopper (5 stars)


Young Royals (5 stars)


Queer as Folk - UK version (3 1/2 stars)


Gotham Knights (3 1/2 stars)



Honorable mentions:

Riverdale - There are gay characters, but the story rarely focuses on them. Hell, Kevin sometimes goes five or six episodes straight where he either doesn't appear or has almost no lines - despite him supposedly being a main character

The Walking Dead - It took five seasons to get a gay character but once they did, they started to introduce several more. But still, I would never consider this an LGBT show.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - You don't see many trans characters on tv, so kudos to them for doing it. But still, he's only a supporting character.

Sex Education - Pretty much every sexuality exists in this show. The main character's best friend is gay. But that's just it. Not the main character, but his best friend.

Supergirl - A main character eventually comes out as gay. But not the main character.

Arrow - It took several years, but they did get some gay characters. Oliver's son, Mr. Terrfic, but the story never really focused that much on their sexuality.

The Flash - There have been gay characters at various points, but never any main characters. Just people that popped up every once in a blue moon. 

Barney Miller - Okay, the gay character was a criminal and was only a recurring character. But considering this was the 70's, it was progressive for its time.
