#diverse shows

[dramaticmotionblur]

to anyone who follows me or just comes across my reblogs, i’m sorry (not sorry) for the copious amount of ofmd content you will see from me. my gay little heart couldn’t handle watching s2 when it just came out so it’s only now that i am consuming everything

and yes, i will be hyperfixating on this show for quite some time

Still trying to figure out this reblog thing, but this is amazing and didn't want to lose it. Also, I'm old and legit thought Our Good Shadows was new slang for lgbtq and diverse shows before I figured out it was a fandom triad title like SuperWhoLock.

A simple guide for queer (masc) people in search for some new show to watch!

23/08/29 UPDATE! - I've added Leverage and another question to the table.

List of series for future updates.

I hope you find this useful or at least entertaining, I thought of it while lying in bed half awake at 8am :)

I'm not the first to mention this, but one bit that I thought was really clever in Steven Universe is the ways in which the show subtly justifies the cartoonism of the principle cast always wearing the same outfit for ease-of-animation purposes. The gems are a gimme in that they're all hardlight-projections, and even before that's solidified as a plot point they're otherworldly and superheroic enough that you don't really think to question it. But Steven canonically just owns hundreds and hundreds of those star shirts, which are leftover merchandise from his father's fizzled-out career as a rock star. Into which you can read a whole bunch of other stuff if you really want to, right? And I do want to. It's reflective of Greg's misplaced optimism that he got hundreds of those made in the first place, and it's a benign but visible example of how Steven's life is shaped by the knock-on effects of decisions his parents made before he was even alive. He's got his mother's superpowers and he's wearing his father's shirts.

I just finished seasons 2 and 3 back to back after watching season 1 two years ago and my first thought was I don't remember season 1 being quite this weird and quirky. Maybe it was. It's been a while. My second and main thought was, that the series feels exactly like Steve Martin.

I'm old, so I actually saw The Jerk at the drive-in. We've always been fans. His movies have always had this combination of genuine heart and both slapstick and absurdist comedy (think The Man With Two Brains, Roxanne, All Of Me, LA Story) that is just a delight, and the show pulls it off so perfectly that I honestly can't believe I've been sleeping on it for two years. Also, if anybody asked me to name possibly, the most diverse show I've seen in years, I never would have guessed it would be Only Murders in the Building.

only murders in the building is honestly like The fun little show. it’s so weird and so unlike anything else. the odd trio casting of two incredibly famous comedians in their 70s with Selena Gomez. the main plot revolving around true crime podcasts. the level of complete contrivance and silliness necessary for the entire plot’s existence. certain disability representation i haven’t seen anywhere else on TV. surprise bisexuality. the mystery-comedy-??? genre mix. Jane Lynch as a lesbian lookalike of Steve Martin. the most insane celebrity cameos so sudden and jarring that you get jumpscared at least four times every season. Nice, Hot Vegetables.

Just a reminder that in much of the northern hemisphere there is Good and Exciting Stuff to be found right now (early Summer) in your local ponds and waterways.

What makes White Collar hold up so much better than other police procedurals:

It was part of the "pretty happy shows with gorgeous ensemble casts and a charismatic weird guy" USA network era but it somehow used that to be about stuff that is so REAL

What is justice? Is our system fair? Can you be a criminal and still be a good man? Can you be a good man and still work for the system?

The bad guys are rich assholes, and people defrauding families out of their homes, and unethical pharmaceutical companies. People manipulating energy supply out of greed resulting in blackouts which are showing *harming a dog,* aka how to show something is monstrous in a pg show written by a white person. Class exists in this universe in more ways than having a cardboard concept of a "rich guy."

The bad guys include police, FBI agents, prison staff, judges, senators. Those people cause real harm, obstruct justice, plant evidence, kill people. It's shown how the system protects them and harms regular people.

The harm that causes the main character to go from wanting to be part of the system, to subverting and working against it, is him finding out about an act of police corruption, brutality, and murder--and what's more, that if he became a cop, that's what he could become.

The harm that causes the main character to be outside the white picket fence is that the system failed his family after that act. What happened to Neal's mom? Why did nobody besides Helen step in? They had to check in with US Marshals, did nobody notice this kid didn't have an adult fit to parent?

So Neal turns to found family. And let's be real, heavily polyamory coded found family at that. But he keeps chasing the idea of a girl who will be everything. But he's got all this attachment trauma so he never does. But because found family is real family, even the people who freaking played the characters are still connected a decade later

im sure it was a classic code lyoko continuity error but the idea that the lyoko warriors started a band, put on like 2 performances, and then never mentioned it again is so funny to me. like what a deeply teenage thing to do.
