Hey everybody!
So today I'm gonna be going over 20 of my favorite shows and web series that feature
women who like women.
That's what the wlw in the title stands for -- or women-loving women depending on who you ask.
Basically, this is a list of a bunch of really queer shows that you should watch if you're
a girl who likes girls.
I mean anybody can watch these, I just think it's really affirming to see yourself represented in a show.
Lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer -- however you identify, these shows are for you.
And they're roughly in order of my favorite to my least favorite -- but I hate saying
that I have a least favorite because I really like them all, and they're in so many different
genres and formats that can't really be compared.
So just because one show is a little higher on the list than another, that doesn't necessarily
mean I like it more.
This a very rough, broad ranking -- if that makes sense.
And I'll have all of these listed in the description along with where you can find
them streaming.
And fair warning, there aren't going to be any huge plot spoilers here, but there
may be some light spoilers just because you don't always know at the beginning of the
show who is queer -- so me just telling you who the queer characters are or who they have
a relationship with at some point, that might be a little bit of a spoiler.
But it's not a huge one, and it gives you a reason to watch the show.
Anyway! Let's get into the list.
First up is Sense8.
I'm sure you've seen Sense8 by now, but if you haven't, you really really need to.
It's a beautiful, powerful show filled with an amazing, diverse cast that tells stories
all over the world.
It's essentially about 8 people who are all connected to each other and can kind of
sense what the others are doing and help them out with it.
It's hard to explain but so so captivating.
Plus, there's Nomi and Amanita who are two queer girls in an amazing relationship.
And Nomi is trans -- which obviously I'm here for.
Sadly she's the only trans girl on this list, but she is fantastic and if you're
a trans girl who likes girls, like me, I think you need to watch Sense8.
I mean, everybody should watch Sense8, but where else are you gonna see such a positive
representation of a trans girl who likes girls?
Pretty much nowhere.
So next is One Day at a Time, which is a show that I love so much that I actually made a
whole video about it a while back when I first watched the series.
It's a Netflix original that just had its first season and has already been renewed
for a second season, which I'm so excited for.
It's basically a funny family sitcom about a Cuban-American family that also tackles
a lot of really important issues.
They have episodes covering PTSD, alcoholism, immigration, and a lot of other stuff.
Obviously, the storyline that's closest to my heart is Elena, the teenage daughter,
slowly coming out to her family over the later half of the season.
It's one of the best coming out stories I've ever seen on TV, and it will probably
make you cry, but it will also make you laugh a lot.
It's exactly what a sitcom should be.
Next is The Bold Type, which is a relatively new show with just one season, but it was
recently renewed for two more.
It follows three best friends in New York as they navigate life and their jobs at a
women's magazine called Scarlet.
One of those people, Kat, ends up falling for a girl named Adena who is a queer Muslim
woman -- and it's the most beautiful relationship and I love them so much.That kind of positive
queer Muslim representation is so necessary right now.
I just adore this show, and specifically Kat and Adena.
Next is Legends of Tomorrow, which is a goofy superhero show set in the DC universe.
What I love about it is that it doesn't take itself too seriously.
Like it knows that it has a ridiculous premise and is chock full of plotholes as they time
travel around the world trying to fix history -- but it leans into that and it's funny
and endearing and just an easy light show to watch.
Also, along with every other queer girl in existence, I'm in love with Sara Lance,
the white canary. She's such a badass.
She could punch me in the face, and I would love it.
I don't think they ever say the word in the show, but the actress who plays Sara has
said that the character is bisexual.
So if you wanna watch a bisexual spaceship captain superhero kick everyone's ass, this
is the show for you.
Speaking of bisexual spaceship captain badasses, there's also Two from Dark Matter.
Dark Matter is kinda similar to Legends of Tomorrow in that it's a team on a spaceship
flying around trying to solve problems.
The different is that they don't have superpowers, and the whole show is set up around the premise
that they all wake up on the ship without their memories.
So they number themselves off one through six based on the order they woke up, and then
they try to figure out what's going on and who they used to be.
Two takes control pretty much right away and is just the coolest character.
The whole show has a similar vibe to Legends of Tomorrow in that it doesn't take itself
very seriously, and parts of it can be completely weird and goofy, but it still has a place
very close to my heart.
Next is Black Mirror, and specifically the San Junipero episode.
Black Mirror as a series is a bunch of different unrelated episodes that are each about a different
kind of futuristic technology taken to its extreme.
I don't wanna go too in detail about that for San Junipero cause it'd probably give
away too much, but it's basically about two women, Yorkie and Kelly, falling in love
in a small town called San Junipero in 1987.
It's much happier than a lot of the other Black Mirror episodes, and it's really just
the sweetest story.
You have to watch it, if you haven't yet.
Next is the Thanksgiving episode in Master of None.
While most of the show is about Aziz Ansari, this episode is entirely about his friend
Denise -- played by Lena Waithe.
Lena had creative control over the episode and said it was based on a lot on her own
experience growing up as a gay Black woman.
It's a powerful episode, and just so real and well-done.
Lena actually became the first Black woman to win an Emmy for comedy writing for the episode.
Just go watch it -- it's so good.
Next is 195 Lewis, which is a web series about queer Black polyamorous love in Brooklyn.
It follows Yuri and Camille as they try to navigate their newly polyamorous relationship,
and it's subversive because it's really just about radical honesty.
It's not the usual lies and deceit that come into making the drama for a show.
It's a glimpse into that community, and also it's a look at how to navigate being brutally honesty.
Plus it's just beautifully shot, like every frame is gorgeous.
Please go check this show.
Next is Brown Girls, which is also a web series.
It follows two friends in Chicago as they navigate their lives and all the messiness
that comes with it.
Leila specifically is a queer Muslim girl who is just the cutest person on the planet
and is trying to make a living as a writer.
The whole show is just funny but also serious at times, and the dialogue in particular is
just really real and it makes the whole thing feel super genuine, and just like you're
hanging out with these friends as they go about their lives.
It's a must-watch, for sure.
It's also being turned into a full-on HBO show, which I am sooo excited for.
Next is All For One, which is a web series shot in a really unique way.
It's all from a single camera, so it's shot like you're looking out from the webcam,
but the thing that's unique about it is that the main character is always online video
chatting with her internet friends.
So you see their comments pop in at the bottom as you're watching, and it's the funniest thing.
It's basically about Dorothy trying to get into a sorority called Mu Sigma Theta, but
all the antics that go into that are hilarious, and plus, it's super queer.
So there you go.
Next is Barbelle, which is a web series that is still going on.
So as of right now, episodes are so still coming out on Mondays.
Which is annoying, because I want to watch it all right now, but it's worth the wait.
It stars Gwenlyn Cumyn, who also plays Dorothy in All For One, and Karen Knox -- they're
two lesbian pop stars who break up at the beginning of the show, but their contract
stipulates that they have to still be together, so they're basically just trying to navigate
being famous musicians faking a relationship together.
You know, normal stuff.
So far I've really been enjoying it and I think it's super funny.
Next is Carmilla, which I think is required watching for queer girls at this point.
It's about a lesbian vampire.
Like, why would you not watch that?
They also came out with a movie recently, but I haven't seen the movie yet, sadly.
The series itself though is all shot from a webcam point-of-view and is funny and over-the-top
-- and full of vampires and magic and battling evil creatures.
It's just a really fun story.
Next is Almost Adults, which is a movie -- so I'm cheating a little bit here -- but it
stars the same actresses from Carmilla -- Elise Bauman and Natasha Negovanlis
-- and it's just the cutest story about a girl coming out and navigating that with
her straight best friend, and I don't usually watch movies multiple times, but I think I
watched this at least like 10 times.
Idk, it just really got to me. I liked it a lot.
Next is Orange is the New Black -- which I'm sure you've heard of, but if you haven't
started it yet, you should.
It's full of queer women pretty much everywhere, but my favorite duo is Poussey and Soso.
That's about all I have to say about that, though, otherwise we might get into some spoilers.
It's not a perfect show by any means, but I liked it.
Next is the Legend of Korra, which is an animated show that is the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender.
It made history in 2014 when the series finale had the main character, Korra, walking off-screen
holding hands with Asami.
They then turn and face each other, like they're about to kiss, and then it's over.
Sadly, there was no on-screen kiss, but the creators quickly confirmed online that both
Korra and Asami were queer and they ended the series in a relationship together.
I remember watching it live and just crying because nobody had really expected that -- especially
in a kids show that aired on Nickelodeon -- and it was just the most amazing thing.
There's now an official graphic novel that follows their story after the end of the series,
and I got Part 1 as soon as it came out, and it is so gay.
It full-on addresses Korra's relationship with Asami and how she handles telling her
parents -- and it shows that at least one of the other characters in the series is queer too.
I just can't get over how much this show meant to me personally, and I'm so glad
that kids growing up today have this.
And top of the wonderful queerness, the Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender are
both brilliant shows with fascinating characters and surprisingly deep storylines for a kids show.
Next is The 100, which I think is also legendary among queer girls.
There's even a whole convention called ClexaCon, which comes from the couple in The 100, Clarke and Lexa.
It's not all a happy story in The 100, there's been a lot of backlash for certain things,
and I have mixed feelings about it now, but I still like the show and I think that the
characters are important queer representation.
Next is Fresh Off The Boat, which really surprised me recently when one of the side characters
on the show came out as a gay.
Nicole is a high schooler who's friends with one of the main characters, and so she's
not in every episode, but the couple of episodes in season 4 where they address it are pretty good.
Next is Orphan Black, which I still haven't completely caught up on, because it's a
really complex show and there's a lot going on, but Delphine and Cosima have a relationship
-- and that's really all I can say about it.
Plus, Tatiana Maslany is just a phenomenal actress who plays all of these different characters
who are so unique, you forget she's playing them all.
Next is the Shannara Chronicles, which is a cheesy kinda-too-serious fantasy story
about a pretty boring half-elf named Will -- but if you ignore him, and just pay attention
to Eretria, then the series is amazing.
I don't remember them saying "bisexual" in the show, but I'm pretty sure the creators
have confirmed that she's bi.
Either way, she likes girls, and it's great, and she's gorgeous and badass and the best
character on that show.
She even has a girlfriend in season 2, who I'm also definitely in love with.
And last is Supergirl, which has a lot of problems and isn't the greatest show in
the world, but it's trying, and there's a relationship between Maggie and Alex that
I think is good for young queer girls to see.
But they're ignoring the obvious chemistry between Supergirl and Lena Luthor, and I'm
never gonna forgive them for that.
Anyway, that is all of the shows and web series and one movie that I had for you today.
Hopefully there was at least something on here you haven't seen yet, and now you can
go watch some more shows with queer girls.
What could be better than that?
Obviously, this wasn't an exhaustive list, so I'd love to get your recommendations
in the comments below.
And before everyone starts commenting about the L-Word, obviously I know about the L-Word,
and I know it was a very formative show for a lot of people, but I watched the first season
and couldn't really get into it. I'm sorry.
But I would love to here about any other shows or web series that feature women who like women.
