Tell Us The Most Underrated LGBTQ+ Shows
For example, I'm obsessed with AMC's Interview with the Vampire. IMO, it updated Anne Rice's original novel in such a fresh way, and I can't wait for Season 3!
And you probably haven't tuned into Doctor Who since Matt Smith left the series, but both Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa's recent runs as the Doctor had some really great (though ultimately heartbreaking, because it is Doctor Who) romantic storylines.
And What We Do in the Shadows is next on my to-watch list!
So, in your opinion, what's an underrated LGBTQ+ show more people should watch? Why? Share your thoughts in the comments for a chance to be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!

15 Everyday Things From Past Decades That You'd Never Do Today
It's always fascinating to consider what ubiquitous aspects of modern culture weren't always so standard. So recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community, "What's something that was so 'normal' back in the day but could NEVER happen now?" The responses were insightful and a major nostalgia trip. Here are just 15 things that really stood out: "Letting your kids outside to do and go wherever they please as long as they're home by dinner. The things we did, the trouble we got into, and the places we went without our parents just 25 years ago, like drinking out of the water hose and eating whatever food our friends' parents had. Like, they really trusted that we could just survive on our own, and I mean we did. But parents these days would have a complete meltdown if their kid leaves their eyesight. That isn't to say I don't understand the fear, as the sheer amount of missing kids or major injuries that occurred definitely warrants the fear. But still, those days could never be relived now." —Anonymous, 36; Ohio "Riding in the bed of an open pickup truck with a half-dozen other kids. Sometimes, we would even sit on the sides." "You can't slam a phone to end a phone call in a furious state of dissatisfaction. Now you press a screen button on your phone. 😂" —Anonymous, old man; Oregon coast "'Smoking' and 'non-smoking' areas in fast-food restaurants — with nothing to separate the two sides." "Growing up in Florida, we could fish in the river and ocean from the beach without a fishing license. Freshwater, we had to have a license. Now to fish, you have to have a license except under 16 and over 65." —Anonymous, 68; Florida "🛫 Walking up to the airport gate without a ticket. Back in the day, you could literally: show up with your friend or family, go through security without a boarding pass, wait with them at the gate, even wave them off as they boarded, and be there when they got off the plane." "Buying my parents their cigarettes. We just went to the store and told them they were for them, and we paid and left. Skipping gleefully home because we got penny candy with the change!! 🤣" —Anonymous, 54; Texas "Making a collect call." "Walking into a room filled with the sound of typewriters." —Anonymous, 56; Oxford, England "We were encouraged by the police to engrave our Social Security number on valuables in case they were stolen." "Seat belts and car seats were not mandatory until the 1980s. Before then, kids could sit wherever and pack in the car (although my parents and most of my friends' parents were sticklers for using seat belts and car seats)." —ktomato "Going days without seeing your parents, especially in the summer, with the only communication being notes written on the back of envelopes on things that needed to be done. When the weather was good, we were outside on our bikes or on foot walking through the woods, out fishing, walking the train track looking for pennies, at a friend's house jumping on a trampoline, or anywhere but home. We came home when it was dark, way after our parents had gotten off work. And they would usually leave the house to go to a friend's to play cards, leaving the oldest child in charge. There would be a note on the table of what to eat for supper, sometimes a phone call if the teenage sister wasn't talking to friends all night, and a repeat of this the next day. The summer between my 4th and 5th grade years, I think I saw my mother a total of three times that entire summer." "Smoking on an airplane." —Anonymous, 35; Washington, DC "I am French, and while I wasn't born yet, I know that wine used to be served to children in kindergarten (and older) until 1956 when it was finally banned for the youngest kids. However, students aged 14 and up were still allowed to drink (including in school cafeterias) until 1981!" Finally, "Questionable first aid tactics. Even just simple stuff like it used to be standard to dump peroxide into open wounds, which we now know slows healing. But also, much more casual attitudes about things like concussions." —casualpizza23 Have another example of something that used to be so very common but would be considered odd to do today?

AMC works really hard to make going to the movies terrible
As streaming media has exploded in popularity over the past few decades, fewer and fewer people have seen the point of getting into the car and going to the movie theater. Despite being a beloved activity that people have adored for well over a hundred years, going to the movies really isn't what it used to be. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Add up the price of a ticket or two, overpriced concessions, the cost of driving to and from the theater - not to mention the high possibility of loud groups of kids who don't mind talking over the entire movie - and it's just not appealing. The pandemic hit movie theaters hard, and although America has recovered, the movie theater industry hasn't. Related: AMC announces generous offer to win back customers Typically it made between 10 and 11 billion a year before 2020, but since then, it hasn't exceeded more than 8 billion, per data from Box Office Mojo. One way theaters coped with getting people back in theater seats was to entice them with limited-edition merchandise like themed popcorn buckets, which actually did wonders for their bottom line. AMC alone raked in $65 million from sales of this merchandise. Now AMC has a new idea to change the theater experience. But unlike its innovative collectible popcorn buckets, this will actually add yet another reason to justify staying home on the couch with Netflix. Image source: Shutterstock We all go to the movies expecting to see trailers before the show starts, and some people even like it that way, knowing if they're running a bit late, they won't miss the main event. AMC has decided this is a good thing, and as of July 1, will now show more pre-movie ads than ever, including "as much as" a whopping five minutes of commercials, as well as a new ad called a "Platinum Spot" that will play before the last few movie trailers you see. Trailers and other promotions can mean the movie doesn't start for 25-30 minutes, according to the AMC website. The advertising decision comes as the result of an agreement AMC made with the National CineMedia ad network, which is the largest of its kind in the U.S. Related: Regal, AMC make a genius move to get people to the theater Back in 2019, AMC declined using these ads, despite the fact other chains such as Regal adopted them, saying it believed that moviegoers would react "quite negatively" to them. But it has since pivoted, saying in a June Bloomberg interview, "While AMC was initially reluctant to bring this to our theaters, our competitors have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance." AMC has had its share of struggles over the past few years. While it's been slowly recovering since the pandemic, 2024 didn't pan out so well, with AMC reporting a decline in revenue in 2024's Q3 and an attendance decline. AMC also announced on July 1 that it had entered into a new agreement with its creditors, which will provide $223 million of new money financing that will be used to refinance its debt. The agreement will also allow AMC to equitize at least $143 million of its current debt, and has the potential to allow the company to equitize as much at $337 million. Commenters on social media did not take well to the news of the new ads. "I would like to warn AMC to expect 25-30 years of me never coming back to their theaters," said X user TexasPharmD. "Just another reason to avoid the movies," X user Laz252 said. "Stop. I like how they want more people to watch movies, but they're also still making the experience worse," X user 360 No One said.
