Queer Eye
Via W Magazine
Queer Eye, the modern reboot of its predecessor Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, features a whole new and even more loveable cast of tastemakers (all of whom have their quirks and specializations), and are here to give men the best advice on fashion, grooming, food, culture, and design in the hopes of changing their lifestyles, perspectives, and relationships with others.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Via Huffington Post
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a treat to binge-watch over the weekend or during the evenings because, despite it being predictably cheesy and mildly chuckle-worthy, it’s a breath of fresh air after a tiring and dreary week. We dare you not to laugh out loud to the characters’ crazy antics, especially those of aspiring Broadway star and Kimmy’s relatable roommate, Titus Andromedon, whether he’s smashing cars a la Queen Bey or belting out random lines mid-conversation.

Orange is the New Black
Via Nerdist
Step into Litchfield Penitentiary and the complex and colorful lives of its female inmates, from Piper, a privileged New Yorker, to Sophia, a transwoman with a complicated past. It’s never too late to start binge-watching this great series, especially with the next season coming this July!

Grace and Frankie
Via Crixeo
Grace and Frankie is a warm and light dramedy about two former rivals who forge an unlikely friendship after their husbands reveal that they’re gay and in love with each other. It’s a show that gets better with each season, and there’s something that anyone can learn from and be uplifted by.

RuPaul’s Drag Race

Get ready to have your wig snatched with RuPaul’s Drag Race! This reality series featuring fierce drag queens who lip-sync for their lives is one of the greatest shows we’ve ever been blessed to have.
