8. Transparent • Amazon
Amazon’s surprise hit centers around the patriarch of a large Jewish family as he transitions to being a woman later in life. Sound familiar? On top of being incredibly well written and acted, with Jeffrey Tambor in the lead role, the show’s creator Jill Solloway has made a point of hiring a number of trans cast, crew and writers.
9.Pretty Little Liars • ABC
Pretty Little Liars is your typical teen nighttime soap guilty pleasure fare which is why we love it. We also love that Shay Mitchell’s character Emily, happens to be a lesbian and suffers all of the broken hearts, relationship drama and near death experiences that everyone else does.
