What is up YouTube, it's your girl Evelyn and today I want
to highlight some upcoming shows and films featuring queer lady characters.
So sit back, enjoy the video and if there are any
upcoming shows or films I've missed please let me know in the comments.
*Take Me To Church by Hozier playing*
'Pray Away' is a documentary that chronicles the rise of religious based gay conversion therapy.
"I personally came out of the homosexual lifestyle."
"And we're just saying that if you want to change, there is a way to do it."
What makes this documentary so fascinating is that it's told by
the people who actually administered the therapy.
"We had guys that attempted suicide because they felt guilty that they couldn't change."
"How could you do that to your own people?"
'Pray Away' is a difficult-to-watch but very necessary documentary and
I recommend you guys check it out if you can.
It's available to stream starting August 3rd on Netflix.
*The L Word Theme by Betty playing*
"The L Word: Generation Q is returning for its second season and judging by the trailer,
O ur girl Bette is still fully on her BS.
"Oh yeah that's right, I have no one. I'm gonna die alone."
"Come here."
You love to see it.
In addition to Bette behaving badly
Tina gets a Rosie
Finley gets a black eye
And Shane gets a puppy.
Personally, I'm most looking forward to the 'Sophie, Finley, Dani storyline resolution.
So make sure to let me know in the comments, who do you think Sophie picked ?
*I Don't Want to Be Right by Luther Ingram playing*
You can stream The L Word season two premiere, August 6th or catch it August 8th on Showtime.
*Loser by Beck playing*
The darkly funny and supremely messy 'Work in Progress' is finally back with its second season.
"Turns out there's a reason why I can't get out of bed.
It is not just because I'm a lazy loser. This is also a medical diagnosis."
"Women really can have everything."
"AMEN!"
This is a show I featured in my 'Best Shows You're Not Watching' video
And I still feel like this is one of the best shows people aren't watching.
But I can also understand why.
It's not glamorous and sexy like Showtime's other show about queer women.
Not to mention, the main character's flaws don't always make her quirky and relatable.
Sometimes they just make her difficult to like.
The show is at times cringey and other times profound but ultimately
it's just a show about a flawed human who's trying to survive her life.
You can catch the season two premiere of 'Work in Progress' August 22nd on Showtime.
*Dress by Taylor Swift playing*
'Brand New Cherry Flavor' is Netflix's latest supernatural
horror
mystery type of show
About a young woman in 90s Los Angeles who starts killing people... for some reason or another.
It's based on a book of the same name that apparently includes a lesbian tryst
So the show may be gay.
You can check out 'Brand New Cherry Flavor' August 13th on Netflix.
There is nothing Ryan Murphy seems to love more than a tortured lesbian.
*Everything About You by Ugly Kid Joe playing*
I have no idea if the 10th season of American Horror Story will include any queer ladies,
but our girl Sarah Paulson is back this season so even
if there are no fictional lesbians at least there's a real life one.
AHS season 10 premieres August 25th on FX.
'Cruel Summer' is a teen thriller that takes place in the 90s
and unravels the mystery of a popular girl's disappearance.
The show features four queer characters, Mallory, Kate, Ben and Vincent
Who all have their own complete storylines and
spoiler alert the lesbians get a happy ending.
You can currently watch 'Cruel Summer' on Freeform.
'American Horror Stories' is a spin-off of American Horror Story but instead of
telling a different story each season it tells a different story each episode
and the first two-part episode is about tortured lesbians.
So far the new show seems to be aimed at a younger crowd which is a little weird.
Because if there's one thing AHS is NOT for
it's children
You can catch the first two super gay episodes of 'American Horror Stories' on FX.
'Gossip Girl' is back and she's bagged her a lesbian.
According to Buzzfeed, there is a character named Monet who's gay.
So there you go.
You can catch the 'Gossip Girl' reboot currently streaming on HBO Max.
*Something New By Chloe Diana playing*
If you've been following the channel for a while then you
know there's nothing your girl loves more than a good documentary
And 'Misha and the Wolves' looks like an amazing documentary.
It's about a woman named Misha who wrote a Holocaust memoir that took the world by storm...
Except, it might not be true.
I know literally nothing else about this film but it sounds absolutely
intriguing and I can't wait to watch it August 11th on Netflix.
'Reminisce' is a mind-bendy, time travel-ish, sci-fi film.
It takes place in a future world so depressing people would rather live in the past.
And they can via a waterproof oculus. My guy Hugh gets addicted to the
oculus and becomes obsessed with a sexy lady from the past and...
Shenanigans ensue.
You can catch 'Reminisce' on HBO Max and in theaters August 20th.
Last but not least is CODA which stands for Child Of Deaf Adults
And it's about a young woman who's a CODA.
She wants to leave home to pursue a career in music
but feels guilty for abandoning her family who rely on her for so much.
I'm sure CODA is a great film but honestly
I just need to use my Apple TV Plus subscription.
CODA drops August 13th on Apply TV Plus and in theaters.
That is it for the list, thank you so much for watching!
And make sure to keep an eye on the community tab
because I'll be dropping a channel update in the next few days
To let you know what's coming to the channel and what's not coming to the channel.
So be on the lookout for that and I'll see you in the next one.
