As a gay person, I’m glad it’s there. You don’t have to watch it. (Though maybe you should, so it will become normalized to you.) Heck, I don’t watch all of them, because many are crap, just like many non-LGBT shows.

But don’t think for a second that you get to shove us back into the closet just because you don’t like being reminded that LGBT people exist. We do, we always have, and we’re not going anywhere.

They're just jealous because they aren't one of the cool kids.  ;)

Calm down guys, I don't find it appealing - it IS mostly crap, but don't make me spell it out... it is JUST the opinion of me, a stranger, and I DO think it is crap, but you DO NOT have to agree, any more than I have to side with you that it is "good".

There, we are all mutual strangers, so why my views should concern other strangers is beyond me... you liking it is fine by me (and why wouldn't it be!) ; most TV is crap anyway, so yeah... watch what you want, it's your life :)

I said the programmes are trash, not that you are. Take it easy  :)

Of course not all TV is good, but I think it’s completely wrong to say that TV is mostly trash “these days” (implying that it used to be better). I think the exact opposite is the case, and I am not alone in saying this: the last 10-20 years are being described as a “golden age” of television because the best TV that’s being made now is spectacularly good. (Who cares what the average quality is — there’s not enough time in the world to watch it all, so we may as well focus on the best of the best only.) The Sopranos and the Wire are often cited as the first of these top-quality shows, then Breaking Bad, and (to list some favorites of mine) Schitt’s Creek, The Good Place, Black Mirror, Sense8, Heartstopper, Squid Game, Dark, Orange is the New Black, Altered Carbon, La casa de papel, and numerous others.

Something that I think is awesome about Netflix is that they bring to the world stage the best of TV shows from around the world. Before that, very few shows from anywhere other than Hollywood made it very far from their countries of origin. (In particular in USA, there was extremely little foreign TV.) I am absolutely delighted to get to see shows from around the world, with high quality subtitles. (Netflix’s translation quality standards are far above industry-standard for non-children’s programming. I say that because Disney’s dubs are olympic-class.)

What I think is unusually bad now is the movies: Hollywood has apparently forgotten that it is in fact possible to make a movie that isn’t based on Marvel or DC Comics characters.
