'We're Here'

Following in the feel-good footsteps of the original "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", "We're Here" follows a trio of drag performers — Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O'Hara and Shangela — as they visit small towns throughout America, recruiting and training locals to put on a one-night-only drag show while spreading a message of individuality and self-acceptance.

HBO
This historical drama focuses on the life of Anne Lister (played by Suranne Jones), dubbed "the first modern lesbian" for courageously living as an openly gay lesbian in Yorkshire during the early 1800s, based on Lister's 5 million-word diary, much of which was written in code.
'Sort Of'
CBC Gem
The recent winner of a Peabody Award, this critically acclaimed Canadian comedy follows the day-to-day life of gender-fluid Sabi Mehboob (Bilal Baig), a nanny by day and bartender by night who feels perpetually in transition in every aspect of their life, from career to family to sexuality.

'The Kids In The Hall'
Prime Video
The accompanying documentary for this new reboot of the iconic Canadian sketch comedy series makes a solid case that "The Kids in the Hall" was the first mainstream comedy series to bring a proudly queer sensibility, most notably with Scott Thompson's proudly flamboyant Buddy Cole character. That tradition continues as the Kids return — older, wiser and just as hilarious as they were in the '90s.
'Queen'
Netflix
In this Polish series, a new addition to Netflix, Sylwester (Andrzej Seweryn) is a famed tailor and legendary drag queen who leaves his longtime home in Paris to return to his small hometown in Poland, where he tries to reconnect with his long-estranged daughter — and winds up rallying the locals to mount a drag production that will raise enough money to save the coal-mining town from ruin.

'RuPaul's Drag Race'
