Heartstopper
Based on the graphic novel by Alice Oseman, Heartstopper became an instant hit since premiering on Netflix this spring. It’s one of the most heartwarming coming-of-age LGBT+ shows in recent memory and it follows a budding romance between a popular rugby player and his shy classmate.
Hacks
Hacks follows a down-on-her-luck comedy writer, who becomes a head writer for the legendary Las Vegas stand-up comedian. The show received praise for advancing bisexual representation on TV and Season 2 even features a hilarious episode taking place on a lesbian cruise.
Our Flag Means Death
Our Flag Means Death is a quirky comedy taking place during the Golden Age of Piracy with a surprising LGBT+ twist. It received praise for featuring several notable queer relationships, including the one between its two main characters—Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard.

Plotline

Critical Acclaim

Future Plans
If you’ve already watched Hacks, and one season isn’t enough for you, we’ve got some good news. HBO Max already renewed it for its second installment, which is expected to see Deborah Vance leaving Las Vegas and going on tour.

Girls5Eva
Executive produced by Tina Fey, Girls5Eva focuses on members of a 90s girl group trying to reunite after one of their old songs becomes a surprise hit. Hilarious and super-nostalgic, this series hits all the right notes and its leading ladies are a match made in heaven.
Hacks
Jean Smart’s career experienced a true resurgence in the last few years, and this comedy series gives her a chance to shine in the spotlight. She plays a Las Vegas comedy diva who’s struggling to attract a younger audience and teams up with a millennial writer in an attempt to come up with fresh, new material.
The Kominsky Method
The final season of The Kominsky Method recently premiered on Netflix and the absence of Alan Arkin’s character was strongly felt. Michael Douglas’ titular hero Sandy Kominsky, on the other hand, had another brush with fame after years of working as an acting coach after failing to find success on his own.
