Heartstopper 

Where do I begin with this one? Being one of the breakout shows of 2022. This British show is all about coming of age and falling in love with the one you truly feel at home with. Stream it exclusively on Netflix.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 

This animated masterpiece blends queerness, magic and technology. This tale is all about finding yourself, loving yourself and accepting yourself. We follow Adora as she gains the mystical power of She-Ra to fight on behalf of a rebellion against her best friend Catra and the Horde. Streaming exclusively on Netflix.

Sense8 

An eight-person character study. Full of bombastic action and representation for many types of sexualities, identities and nationalities. Directed by the Wachowskis — the same creators of the Matrix franchise — this show explores what it is like to not only be yourself but to also be connected with others. Stream it exclusively on Netflix.

Peacemaker

Look, I know it’s not the usual type of show placed into these lists, but Peacemaker (played by John Cena) is bisexual, so it counts. My partner got me into this show, especially with how much we loved “The Suicide Squad.” Also including a lesbian relationship in the show with a badass team fighting against aliens, the KKK and each other. This superhero show is not for the faint of heart. Streaming exclusively on HBO Max.
