Hi guys, do you know any shows with relevant lesbian or bisexual characters that are either really good, or just older than 10 years… (The show, not the characters) Alternately, just some shows which are a little more LGBT focused than the “Standart”?

    The Wire. Don’t want to spoil it by saying which one, but a key character turns out to be a lesbian.

    I hate the notion that The Wire counts as an old show! 😁

      Isn’t it made clear from nearly the beginning that this certain person is openly lesbian?

      Overall, I really like how the show deals with it’s LGBT characters. It’s just matter of fact. Even the one little reveal of a certain secondary character is just there and gone, just a little detail on them not necessarily a defining part of their persona within the confines of the story.

        Is it as early as that? I could have sworn it was at least 3 or 4 episodes in. Been a while since I watched it though… [tingles with anticipation] 😁

          FWIW, Cheryl appears in episode 1. I haven’t watched the first season in a couple years so can’t remember if it’s made explicit or left to the audience to fill in the blanks.
