Ten years ago, it would\u2019ve been difficult for us to compile a \u2018Best Of\u2019 list with 10 queer television shows, let alone 20. Thankfully, the small screen has evolved over the past decade (much quicker than film, we should add) and now we\u2019re finally witnessing three-dimensional LGBTQ+ characters leading their own dramas and comedies \u2013 even in the realm of animation and horror, genres that have notoriously failed to provide representation for the queers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2021 was perhaps the best year for queer entertainment yet, with RuPaul\u2019s Emmy Award-winning drag empire expanding in the brand in new international territories, while queer masterminds such as Russell T. Davies and Ryan Murphy continued to educate audiences on historical LGBTQ+ figures and real-life events that have shaped queer life and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here, we list our 20 best LGBTQ+ shows of 2021, from returning fan-favorites to limited series\u2019 and new dramas that have made Gay Twitter explode \u2013 Young Royals, we\u2019re looking at you. The list is in alphabetical order, but we\u2019ve given a special shoutout to our TV Show of the Year at the end of the list. Without further ado\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
9-1-1: Lone Star (Season 2)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Rob Lowe, Ronen Rubinstein, Rafael Silva, Sierra McClain, Jim Parrack, Natacha Karam, Brian Michael Smith, Julian Works, Gina Torres<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second season of Ryan Murphy\u2019s breakout procedural drama continued to solidify its status as one of the most diverse and inclusive shows on the air, thanks to Ronen Rubinstein and Rafael Silva\u2019s Tyler Kennedy \u201cTK\u201d Strand and Carlos Reyes \u2013\u00a0 who continue to be fervently championed on social media with the Brangelina-esque \u2018ship\u2019 name \u2018Tarlos\u2019 \u2013 Brian Michael Smith\u2019s trans male firefighter Paul Strickland and Natacha Karama\u2019s Muslim hero Marjan Marwani. Season two added even more emotion and chaos into the mix \u2013 as well as lava! \u2013 and managed to separate itself from Angela Bassett\u2019s parent series with an eclectic roster of diverse personalities and storylines.\u00a0Bring on season three!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Dickinson (Season 3)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Hailee Steinfeld, Adrian Blake Enscoe, Anna Baryshnikov, Ella Hunt, Jane Krakowski, Toby Huss, Amanda Warren, Chinaza Uche, Wiz Khalifa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apple TV\u2019s profoundly creative re-telling of the life of Emily Dickinson came to a bittersweet end this year with its third outing. Seeing the return of Hawkeye\u2019s Hailee Steinfeld as the title poet, the final batch of episodes takes place during the Civil War; following Emily and her loved ones \u2013 including her\u00a0soulmate<\/em>\u00a0Sue Gilbert (Ella Hunt) \u2013 as they reckon with death, lust, and personal complexities. Season three cemented Dickinson as Apple TV\u2019s most bonkers creation to date with its mix of realism and fantasy, as well as its blend of the 19th century and present day. Mrs. Dickinson (Jane Krakowski), Lavinia (Anna Baryshnikov), Betty (Amanda Warren), and Henry (Chinaza Uche) are given much more to do, adding more depth to their characters in the process, while the final stretch shows Emily become the poet she was always destined to be. We\u2019re\u00a0devastated<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s come to an end, but with a gorgeous finale like that, we can\u2019t stay mad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Dragula (Season 4)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>The Boulet Brothers, Dahli, HoSo Terra Toma, Saint, Sigourney Beaver, La Zavaleta, Jade Jolie, Bitter Betty, Merrie Cherry, Koko Caine, Astrud Aurelia, Formelda Hyde<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Filth! Horror! Glamour! The Boulet Brothers returned for another spine-chilling installment of their cult competition series this year following a year\u2019s hiatus with their largest ever cash prize at \u2013 wait for it \u2013 $100,000. Created and hosted by the iconic duo, horror hosts Dracmorda and Swanthula, the new season proves, once again, why Dragula is one of the most inclusive competition series on air with a deliciously diverse line-up of \u2013 in their words! \u2013 \u201cuglies\u201d \u2013 again, their words! \u2013 including drag queens, trans women, and AFAB performers. With its move to Shudder \u2013 AMC Networks\u2019 premium streamer for horror, thriller, and the supernatural \u2013 Dragula is on a whole new level of glam and gore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Elite (Season 4)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Itzan Escamilla, Omar Ayuso, Ar\u00f3n Piper, Miguel Bernardeau, Claudia Salas, Georgina Amor\u00f3s, Manu Rios, Carla D\u00edaz, Martina Cariddi, Pol Granch<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fourth season of Netflix\u2019s fan-favorite Spanish teen thriller is the series at its queerest, with fan-favorite couple Omar (Omar Ayuso) and Ander (Ar\u00f3n Piper) \u2013 known affectionately as \u2018Omander\u2019 \u2013 becoming a throuple with the arrival of Manu Rios\u2019 bold new character Benjamin. Although we had reservations about the departures of series mainstays Mina El Hammani, Danna Paola Lucrecia, Ester Exp\u00f3sito, \u00c1lvaro Rico, and Jorge L\u00f3pez, our fears were put to rest with the arrival of some more highly attractive, drama-filled teens \u2013 played by Rios, Carla D\u00edaz, Martina Cariddi, and Pol Granch \u2013 who challenge the status quo at Las Encinas. Good news: Elite has been renewed for a fifth\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>sixth season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Feel Good (Season 2)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Mae Martin, Charlotte Ritchie, Lisa Kudrow, Phil Burgers, Adrian Lukis<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mae Martin earned universal acclaim for the second and final season of Feel Good, a semi-autobiographical dramedy based on their life experiences in contemporary Manchester. Following on from the events of season one, Mae is admitted to rehab and confronts their traumatic past after receiving a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder, while coming to terms with their non-binary identity. Season two is a stunning depiction of sexuality, gender identity, addiction and will leave viewers wanting more from the incredible<\/em> Mae Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Generation (Season 1)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Justice Smith, Nathanya Alexander, Chloe East, Nava Mau, Lukita Maxwell, Haley Sanchez, Uly Schlesinger, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Chase Sui Wonders, Martha Pimpton<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
With an ensemble cast led by Detective Pikachu\u2019s Justice Smith, HBO Max\u2019s Generation (stylized as Genera+ion) follows a group of Gen-Z high schoolers exploring their sexualities and identities in a conservative Orange County community. Due to similar themes, the series was (unnecessarily) compared to other shows of its kind, such as Euphoria. Generation, however, is a lot sillier and boasts a more carefree (and accurate) approach to teenage life. It\u2019s messy and cringy \u2013 but whose teen years weren\u2019t? \u2013 and thankfully, queer as hell. Sadly, the series was axed after just one season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Gossip Girl (Season 1)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Jordan Alexander, Whitney Peak, Tavi Gevinson, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Johnathan Fernandez, Adam Chanler-Berat, Zion Moreno, Savannah Lee Smith, Jason Gotay, Todd Almond, Laura Benanti, Kristen Bell<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
As is the case with most reboots, remakes, and revivals (all the \u2018r\u2019s), the new iteration of Gossip Girl was met with polarising reviews when it landed on HBO Max earlier this year. Despite its mixed response, primarily from the \u2018Is Hollywood out of original ideas?\u2019 crowd, the salacious teen drama succeeded expectations when it became the streamer\u2019s most-watched original series in its debut weekend. A large part of the reboot\u2019s success has been credited to the fact it more accurately reflects New York, as well as the world we live in today, with prominent queer characters such as lesbian HBIC Monet de Haan (Savannah Lee Smith), pansexual bad boy Max Wolfe (Thomas Doherty), transgender stylist Luna La (Zion Moreno) and innocent bisexual Aki Menzies (Evan Mock). The beauty of the series is that there\u2019s no elements of homophobia in the storyline, and all the aforementioned teens are accepted without question. Whether you wanted the reboot or not, Gossip Girl \u2013 the 2021 edition \u2013 is the inclusive teen drama we\u00a0originally<\/em>\u00a0deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Hacks (Season 1)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Jean Smart, Hannah Einbinder, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Christopher McDonald, Paul W. Downs, Mark Indelicato, Poppy Liu, Johnny Sibilly, Megan Stalter<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
HBO Max\u2019s brilliant new series follows legendary Las Vegas comedy diva Deborah Vance (Jean Smart)\u00a0as she reluctantly teams up with a witty Gen-Z writer (Hannah Einbinder) to revive her career. Megan Stalter, who received viral fame thanks to her instantly iconic \u201cHi gay!\u201d Pride Month video, co-stars as Kayla; the nepotistic yet endearingly incompetent assistant to Ava\u2019s manager who steals every goddamn scene she\u2019s in.\u00a0While the comedy-drama, created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky, has been lauded for its leading performances and hilariously fresh script, it\u2019s also won rave reviews from LGBTQ+ critics and viewers for normalizing the queer experience \u2013 particularly with Einbinder\u2019s leading character, Ava Daniels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Halston (Limited Series)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Ewan McGregor, Rory Culkin, Rebecca Davan, Sullivan Jones, David Pittu, Krysta Rodriguez, Gianfranco Rogriguez, Bill Pullman, Kelly Bishop, Vera Farmiga, Maxim Swinton<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fourth in a string of Netflix releases from LGBTQ+ mastermind Ryan Murphy, Halston stars Ewan McGregor as the iconic gay designer of the same name who rose to international fame with a worldwide fashion empire that became synonymous with luxury, sex, status, and fame in the 1970s and 1980s New York. Although McGregor\u2019s casting was met with controversy (straight actors playing gay debate etc), the star delivers a career-best performance as the ringleader of \u201ca bunch of queer and freaks and girls who haven\u2019t grown up yet\u201d. It\u2019s not a perfect series, by any means, but it\u2019s a fascinating take on the fashion business, creating an empire and one of the industry\u2019s most revered designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Legendary (Season 2)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Dashaun Wesley, MikeQ, Jameela Jamil, Law Roach, Leiomy Maldonado, Megan Thee Stallion, Johnny Wujek, Tanisha Scott, Jamari Balmain, House of Miyake-Mugler, House of Balenciaga, House of Comme des Gar\u00e7on, House of Oricci, House of Tisci, House of Icon, House of Milan, House of Luxe, House of Prodigy, House of Chanel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Legendary lost some of its intensity in season two without a live audience, due to COVID restrictions, the HBO Max series finally found its identity with a brand new format heavily focusing on the five elements of vogue. As the first real competition to shine a light on ballroom culture, Legendary delivered in spades with opulent high-fashion ensembles and fierce routines, while also diving into the unique \u2013 and often, emotional \u2013 backstories of its diverse roster of entertainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The Other Two (Season 2)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Helen Yorke, Drew Tarver, Case Walker, Ken Marino, Molly Shannon, Josh Segarra, Brandon Scott Jones, Wanda Sykes, Gideon Glick<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Co-creators and writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider returned this year with a funnier, queerer and more outlandish second season of their satirical comedy The Other Two, which follows Dubek siblings Brooke (Yelen Yorke) and Cary (Drew Tarver) as they come to terms with their 13-year-old brother, ChaseDreams, rising to superstardom. With Cary no longer lusting after his straight roommate, the aspiring actor treads new queer ground this season with Grindr hook-ups, gay clubs, and his first boyfriend, while highlighting the various hiccups a queer person experiences when coming out later in life. Our gorgeous ally Brooke remained \u2018hot, cool and killing it\u2019 as she found a new career avenue as a music manager, while mother Pat took on a more starring role as she hosted her own talk show, The Pat Dubek Show \u2013 to hilarious (and disastrous) effect. Shout out to supporting players such as Streeter (Ken Marino), Lance (Josh Segarra), and Shuli (Wanda Sykes) for never failing to bring in the laughs in one of the best ensembles on television right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Pose (Season 3)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Mj Rodriguez, Indya Moore, Dominique Jackson, Billy Porter, Hailee Sahar, Angel Bismark Curiel, Dyllon Burnside, Jason A. Rodriguez, Sandra Bernhard, Jeremy Pope<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like all Pose fans, we resisted the conclusion of FX\u2019s beloved LGBTQ+ series. With only two seasons and 18 episodes under its belt, would just one more season with these characters be enough? The answer is still fat no, but we have to give props to co-creators Steven Canals and Ryan Murphy for delivering a pitch-perfect send-off for the House of Evangelista; staying true to Pose\u2019s uplifting ethos with hope and inspiration for LGBTQ+ people of color, particularly for trans people. As per, the cast earned 10s, 10s, 10s across the board for their performances \u2013 especially Porter and Rodriguez, with the latter making history as the first transgender woman to earn an Emmy Award nomination in a major acting category for her role as Blanca Evangelista.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Positive (Limited Series)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Jonathan Blake, Marc Thompson, Jay Hawkridge, Garry Bushell <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To coincide with World AIDS Day, Sky Documentaries released a three-part docu-series using testimonies from some of the earliest HIV patients and real-life heroes to tell the tragedies \u2013 and triumphs \u2013 of Britain\u2019s 40-year battle with HIV and AIDS. Positive chronicles the prejudice, intolerance, and homophobia of Britain at the time of the epidemic, before examining a society that\u2019s increased its understanding of sexual and gender identity. While the HIV\/AIDS epidemic has been dramatized for various movies and TV shows over the years \u2013 more recently in Russell T Davies\u2019 It\u2019s A Sin, which received universal acclaim and resulted in a significant increase in HIV testing when it launched earlier this year \u2013 it\u2019s rare for a docu-series to chronicle the entire crisis and brings it up to date, making Positive an essential and educational watch for all viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Pride (Limited Series)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Susan Stryker, Alia Shawkat, Ceyenne Doroshow, Margaret Cho, John Waters, Connor Paolo, Raymond J. Barry, Angelica Ross, Barry Livingston, Mark Saul, Christine Vachon, Fenton Bailey, Marquise Vilson, Mx Justin Vivian Bond, Paul James Jordan, Zackary Drucker, Michael Musto, Brontez Purnell<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In PRIDE, six renowned LGBTQ+ directors explore \u201cheroic and heartbreaking\u201d stories that define America as a nation. Spanning six decades on the country\u2019s struggle for LGBTQ+ civil rights, the mini-series uses interviews and archival footage of pioneers such as Christine Jorgensen, Flawless Sabrina, Ceyenne Doroshow, Susan Stryker, Kate Bornstein, Dean Spade, and Raquel Willis. Unlike other documentaries of its kind, Pride isn\u2019t a one-sided affair solely focusing on the efforts of white gay men. Instead, Pride commits to accurately representing the tremendous accomplishments of lesbians, bisexuals, and, especially, trans people of color. It\u2019s a raw, heartbreaking, and inspirational dive into how far we\u2019ve come and the change that still needs to come to fruition in order to achieve full equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK (Season 2)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Alan Carr, Graham Norton, Asttina Mandella, A\u2019Whora, Bimini Bon Boulash, Cherry Valentine, Ellie Diamond, Ginny Lemon, Joe Black, Lawrence Chaney, Sister Sister, Tayce, Tia Kofi, Veronica Green<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following a year without Drag Race UK due to concerns over COVID, the series returned in January and bing, bang, bong\u2019d the hearts of viewers around the world. Never has a season boasted as many shock eliminations, from the likes of Joe Black, Asttina Mandella, and Ginny Lemon; particularly the latter, who sashayed away from the stage mid-performance and failed to return. In the words of Tayce, \u201cThe cheek, the nerve, the gall, the audacity, and the gumption!\u201d The runways were also turned up a notch thanks to the likes of A\u2019Whora and Bimini Bon Boulash, as well as the lip-syncs smackdowns. We can\u2019t forget RuPaul\u2019s now-iconic rant about H&M, COVID\u2019s interruption halfway through the series \u2013 which resulted in Veronica Green contracting the virus \u2013 and the takeover of the United Kingdolls. Now that it\u2019s over, we\u2019re not UK Hun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
While Sex Education initially focused on the lives of Otis (Asa Butterfield), Eric (Ncuti Gatwa), and Maeve (Emma Mackey), the third season saw the Netflix teen comedy turn into an ensemble piece as it further explored the backstories of fantastic supporting characters such as Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood), Ruby (Mimi Keene), Lily (Tanya Reynolds), Ola (Patricia Allison), Adam (Connor Swindells) and newcomer Cal (Dua Saleh), among others. Three-dimensional characters, we\u2019re here for it! Sex Education also ramped up the sex and cringe-factor, while also continuing to deal with issues such as consent, sexuality, identity, and sexual assault. With its blend of quintessential British comedy and hard-hitting issues, Sex Education is still one-of-a-kind three seasons in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Special (Season 2)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Ryan O\u2019Connell, Jessica Hecht, Punam Patel, Marla Mindelle, Augustus Prew, Patrick Fabian<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another queer series went too soon (seriously, why so many?), Netflix\u2019s second and final season of Special focuses on Ryan O\u2019Connell\u2019s semi-autobiographical character, Ryan, a gay man with cerebral palsy who continues to explore the world and go after the life he wants. Thanks to the long run time, O\u2019Connell crafts an even more hilarious and heartfelt season than the first with exceptional character growth and the honest, as well as accurate, depiction of having a disability in modern-day society. Although we\u2019re disappointed Ryan and his adventures won\u2019t return for another season, we couldn\u2019t think of a better way for this groundbreaking story to end.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Transitioning Teens (TV Special)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Charlie Craggs<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this one-off special for BBC iPlayer, trans activist and author Charlie Craggs meet trans teens from across the country who have taken their transition into their own hands due to the NHS\u2019 unfathomably long wait for a gender identity clinic appointment. The 43-minute episode examines transphobic media coverage including the UK\u2019s reporting on puberty blockers and the weaponization of \u2018detransitioners\u2019. It\u2019s a heartbreaking but necessary education on Britain\u2019s issue with the trans community and how young trans people feel abandoned by the healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Swedish teen drama Young Royals took the internet \u2013 and LGBTQ+ community \u2013 by storm when it premiered on Netflix earlier this year. Set in the fictional elite boarding school Hillerska, the show follows Prince Wilhelm of Sweden (Edvin Ryding) as he finally gets an opportunity to explore his true self and find out what kind of life he really wants. Viewers were enamored with the heartwarming romance between Wilhelm and fellow student, Simon Eriksoon (Omar Rudberg), with both stars becoming overnight sensations, and its modern love story confronted by centuries-old royal tradition packaged up for a Gen-Z audience who have a thirst for an era of Tumblr fan-fiction. Season two is coming, and it will hit Netflix next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
TV SHOW OF THE YEAR: It\u2019s A Sin (Limited Series)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cast: <\/strong>Olly Alexander, Omari Douglas, Callum Scott Howells, Lydia West, Nathaniel Curtis, David Carlyle, Keeley Hawes, Shaun Dooley, Tracy Ann Oberman, Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Fry<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following a group of friends in 1980s London who grow up in the shadow of the HIV\/AIDS epidemic, It\u2019s A Sin received widespread critical acclaim when it premiered on Channel 4 earlier this year. Not only that, it also broke record after record for the streaming service as it became their most binged box set ever. Thanks to Russell T. Davies\u2019 harrowing \u2013 and at times, hilarious \u2013 script, the stunning performances of the main cast (particularly Olly Alexander, Omari Douglas, and Lydia West), and for educating audiences on a vital period in LGBTQ+ history, It\u2019s A Sin isn\u2019t just the greatest LGBTQ+ drama of 2021, it\u2019s one of the greatest LGBTQ+ dramas in history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
