The 43 Best LGBTQ Shows and Movies Now on Max, from And Just Like That to Six Feet Under
It’s safe to say a lot of people had a lot of problems with the switch from HBO Max to Max, but there was at least one upside to the streaming shakeup. Now, it’s easier than ever to find the excellent queer stories floating around Warner Bros. Discoverys platform.
During its lifespan, HBO Max never had an LGBTQ tag to filter its offerings and assist subscribers find stories about the queer community more easily: a surprising travel for a streamer named after the channel that brought us boundary-breaking works like “Six Feet Under” and the miniseries adaptation of “Angels in America.” That’s been remedied on Max, which features an “LGBTQ+ Voices” collection. You do have to scroll quite far down the homepage to find it in the collections carousel, but when you perform, it makes searching for the queer films and shows on the streamer considerably easier.

In this list of Homosexual TV shows, we point out shows that have broken ground, enlightened, and entertained.
Weve arranged the list into four categories: shows that were big TV firsts, or featured TV firsts; shows that center on LGTBQ characters or experiences; shows that feature Homosexual characters and stories, but where that isnt necessarily the primary
The 16 Best LGBTQ+ TV Shows Of
Queer passion will thrive no matter what, even in a capitalistic nightmare.
Severance, the Apple TV+ mystery about an office filled with workers who cannot remember (and are severed from) their outside lives, quickly became one of the foremost shows of the year for a myriad of reasons. A haunting tale of grief, human will, and the horrors of the office job, the show had a surprising queer romance burgeoning that just added to its brilliance.
If John Turturro and Christopher Walken being one of the year's leading couples was on your bingo card, then donate yourself a stamp; otherwise, you probably have heard a lot about Severance, which eagerly pulls anyone ready to dive down the office hallway horrors it has waiting in store.
Most shows are eager to throw everything at you, but Severance holds its breath, letting the tiny pieces of life in the show make for some of the year's most compelling television.
