Disappointingly dropped by Disney+, this spin-off of 2018’s gay, high-school romcom Love, Simon will air on Hulu in June. Narrated by the film’s titular character, played by Nick Robinson, the TV version is also set at Creekwood High where we find Victor (Michael Cimino) struggling to adjust to both a new school and his sexuality. Likely to be as light and as funny as the original film, the series is a great outlet for teens facing any kind of angst, and for the rest of us who love a good drama.
7. Feel Good — Netflix, All 4, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play (out now)
Canadian comedian Mae Martin’s new vehicle is a fidgety, anxious comedy about a UK stand-up comedian (Mae) who falls for George (Charlotte Ritchie), a well-meaning but closeted queer. The show tackles serious subjects such as internalised homophobia, mental health and addiction but with a remarkably light touch. Co-starring the reliably brilliant Lisa Kudrow, Feel Good could do for Martin’s career what Insecure did for Issa Rae’s. The only complaint? At just six 25-minute episodes, it’s too short. More soon, please.
8. Little Fires Everywhere — Amazon Prime (out now)
It’s still a thrill for us LGBTQ+ people to tune into the latest ‘must-watch TV’ and discovering not one, but two lead queer characters. Adapted from Celeste Ng’s 2017 bestseller, this 1990s-set Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington double-header picks apart homophobia, motherhood, mental health, class and race and does it so very well. This is slightly bonkers, but utterly gripping television.
