10 TV lesbian and sapphic storylines overshadowed on their own shows
Netflix; Fox Freema Agyeman as Amanita Caplan and Jamie Clayton as Nomi Marks on Sense8; Aisha Hinds as Hen Wilson and Tracie Nicole Thoms as Karen Wilson on 9-1-1. TV audiences love a good ship! Gay and queer relationships are often one of the fandom's favorite parts of a TV show. Whether the couple is canon or not, fans have a lot of fun with fan fiction, fan art, and other ways to express their love. Unfortunately, lesbian and sapphic couples often get pushed to the side by the fandom in favor of male/male ships — sometimes even male/male ships that aren't even canon. There are other times when sapphic ships don't receive enough attention because a show is too packed with other exciting things happening. Here are some of our fan-favorite (but often underappreciated) lesbian and sapphic ships from television. Fox Brittany and Santana on Glee. While Santana and Brittany got plenty of love on Glee, there's no doubt that they were overshadowed on the show by another popular gay couple - Kurt and Blaine. One of the most blatant examples comes in the episode where Santana and Brittany are getting married. The two young women have planned and organized their dream wedding, and then, at the last minute, they decide to invite Kurt and Blaine to get married alongside them, making their special day about another couple. Streaming on Hulu Fox Hen and Karen Wilson on 9-1-1. If you were to ask most people what the most popular same-sex relationship on 9-1-1 is, you'd most likely hear the answer, Buck and Eddie. While Buck did eventually come out as bisexual on the show, he and Eddie are still just friends. The show does, however, have a long-running lesbian couple in Henrietta "Hen" Wilson (Aisha Hinds) and her wife, Karen (Tracie Thoms). Hen and Karen have been together since season 1, and now, they are married and have two children. Streaming on Hulu Fabio Lovino/HBO Mia and Valentina on The White Lotus season 2. Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) was the secret MVP of The White Lotus season 2. While people were being distracted by a family of American womanizers, murderous gays, and a pseudo-uncle-cousin sexual relationship, this lesbian hotel manager had the best storyline of the whole season. At first, Valentina has an unrequited crush on her subordinate, Isabella. When that doesn't work out, she's heartbroken. That's when sex worker Mia (Beatrice Grannò) approaches her, and Valentina reveals she had never been with a woman before. Mia takes Valentina up to one of the hotel's empty rooms, and her life is forever changed. Streaming on HBO Max Netflix Amanita and Nomi at Pride on Sense8. We understand why Lito and Miguel are such a popular ship on this sci-fi show from The Wachowskis, but we also want to share our love for Nomi and Amanita! Not only are they an adorable, sexy, and loving lesbian couple, but they are also one of the few good examples of a lesbian relationship involving a trans woman on TV. Streaming on Netflix Bonnie Osborne/ABC Annalise Keating and Tegan Price in a courtroom on How to Get Away with Murder. How to Get Away with Murder had plenty of sexy relationships and hookups, and one fan-favorite is the relationship between Connor Walsh (Jack Falahee) and Oliver Hampton (Conrad Ricamora). One of our favorite couples from the show is Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and Tegan Pride (Amirah Vann), who joined the show in season 4 and became a regular in season 5. Unfortunately, their relationship didn't get as much screen time as we would have liked! Streaming on Hulu Netflix Lily Iglehart and Ola Nyman on Sex Education. There's a lot of sex and relationships going on in Sex Education. One of the favorites is the relationship between Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Adam (Connor Swindells), an openly gay student and his former bully. We also want to give a shout out to another favorite, though often overlooked, relationship: Ola and Lily! Lily is a strange student who is obsessed with aliens and becomes Ola's chaperone when Ola joins their school in season 2 of the show. Later, Ola has a dream where she kisses Lily, making her realize she is pansexual. Soon, the two start dating, though their relationship isn't without its ups and downs. Streaming on Netflix Paramount+ Dr Tara Lewis and Rebecca Wilson on Criminal Minds Evolution. When Criminal Minds was revived in 2022, it was renamed Criminal Minds: Evolution. The show has over 350 episodes in its 18 seasons, so there are plenty of relationships to love. One of our favorites is the relationship between pansexual forensic psychologist Dr. Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler) and prosecutor Rebecca Wilson (Nicole Pacent). The two characters appear on Criminal Minds: Evolution, and are one of our current favorite parts of the show. Streaming on Paramount+ FX The Countess and Ramona Royale on American Horror Story: Hotel. Of course, each season of American Horror Story is full of wild terrors and steamy sex. Still, we want to give some special attention to Ramona and The Countess Elizabeth, played by two legends: Angela Bassett and Lady Gaga. In the 1970s, Ramona was a blaxploitation film star before meeting Elizabeth. When they met, they started a decade-long relationship, and the Countess turned Ramona into one of her vampires. Unfortunately, so much was going on in this season that their love story got overshadowed. Streaming on Hulu Ryan Green/Paramount+ Cruz and Josie on Lioness. You might think Lioness is all about action and thrills, but one of the best parts of the show is queer character Gunnery Sergeant Cruz Manuelos (Laysla De Oliveira), who works with the Lioness program. In season 2, she's recruited to shadow Josephina "Josie" Carrillo, a US Army Apache pilot with a family connection to a Mexican cartel. What starts as a job soon turns into love for the two. Streaming on Reiner Bajo/Disney Tina and Wolfie on Nine Perfect Strangers. This twisty and dark drama about a wellness retreat led by Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman) has a great queer couple in season 2 that you might not know about! Wolfie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) and Tina (King Princess) are a pair of girlfriends who visit the wellness retreat in the second season. Nine Perfect Strangers has a large cast of talented actors, but this is one relationship viewers should key in on.

Shows Netflix Canceled in 2 Seasons or Less: 'Dead Boy Detectives'
Remember a decade ago when Netflix was the streaming app to watch everything on (and even at one point the only one to get Friends?!) Well, times have certainly changed, because instead of being one of the favorite streaming services, it's gotten a bit of a reputation over the years. For what, you may ask? Chances are you already know what we mean; Netflix is now known for canceling their original series in two seasons or less. First, it was Sense8, then it was the Baby-Sitters Club, and now the two newest victims are Dangerous and That 90s Show. When Netflix cancels a show, fans are often left disgruntled and without closure (99.9 percent of the time, there's an insane cliffhanger we'll never get the answers to!) We're in 2025 now, and it's still looking bleak for Netflix shows. According to What's on Netflix, Netflix bases its decisions on renewals and cancellations on how many people watch the show, if/how quickly they finish whatever is released, and budget constraints. However, fans have been recently calling that methodology out, since many beloved shows get axed for virtually no reason. A version of this article was originally published on Jan 2023. More from SheKnows Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Announced Their New Series & It's Coming to Netflix Sooner Than You Think Best of SheKnows 23 Times Kate Middleton Perfectly Recreated Princess Diana's Iconic Fashion 25 Great Shows Max Canceled in 3 Seasons or Less 24 Great Shows Hulu Canceled in 3 Seasons or Less Territory was about a Lawson cattle station needing an heir, and a huge rivalry hits the breaking point for control over it. It was cancelled after one season due to production timing issues and scheduling conflicts. Starring Noah Centineo, The Recruit was about a CIA lawyer becoming involved in a massive international conflict. It was allegedly cancelled after two seasons due to a decline in viewership and high production costs. Starring the original Scott Pilgrim cast of Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is an even more elaborate cartoon of the movie. Creator Bryan Lee O'Malley confirmed the show would be canceled after one season, per TVLine. KAOS was so cool because it was a modern retelling of Greek mythology, and it starred Jeff Goldblum. Sadly, it was canceled after one season due to low viewership. My Dad the Bounty Hunter was a sweet animated show that followed two children discovering their dad is the biggest bounty hunter in the world, after they enter space. It's a wild ride, and fun for the whole family. However, it was canceled after two seasons, despite being highly-rated and a hit. Starring Sara Bareilles, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps, and Paula Pell, Girls5eva was quite beloved. It was a comedy that followed a one-hit-wonder band from the '90s getting a second shot at fame. Okay, so the show was on Amazon for two seasons before going to Netflix, and then it was canceled after one season on Netflix. While it has three seasons in total, we're still counting it after Netflix suddenly axed it. In Unstable, Rob Lowe partnered with his son John Owen Lowe for the first time onscreen. But, despite their onscreen chemistry, Netflix axed any hopes of season three after the season two release. Per Deadline, the decision came after Unstable failed to break into the Netflix Top 10 for season two. That '90s Show was canceled after only two seasons by Netflix. The show, starring Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith, is a sequel to the hit show, That '70s Show, and follows many of the OG cast's kids in the mid-90s. Smith confirmed there would be no season three, despite rave reviews from critics and viewers alike. Dead Boy Detectives is a great show that follows two boys who decide not to enter the afterlife when they die and instead investigate supernatural crimes on Earth. This show, based on characters made by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, had everything: comedy, drama, supernatural stuff, mystery; and amazing reviews at that. However, Netflix did it again and canceled the show after one season. Black Summer was a horror drama about a group of strangers banding together to fight the zombie apocalypse. It was canceled after two seasons. The beloved show Barbarians is a German historical war drama about the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D. Despite being a hit and critically acclaimed, it only lasted two seasons and was canceled. ODDBALLS is the comedy adventure animated show developed by animator and YouTuber James Rallison of the Odd1sOut. It was canceled after two seasons for an unspecified reason. After one season, The Brothers Sun was sadly canceled. It was an action dramedy following Taipei's most renowned gangster family and their misadventures. Per Deadline, it was canceled due to a low audience. The series Ratched followed the life of Mildred Ratched before the events of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Starring Sarah Paulson, Cynthia Nixon, and Sharon Stone, this thriller show captivated fans instantly when it was released in 2020. However, after four years of no news, it was confirmed in Feb 2024 that it was canceled after one season. Obliterated is an action comedy series that followed a group of special forces trying to track down a terrorist organization in Las Vegas. It was canceled in 2024 after one season. Based on the beloved animated series, the show Fate: The Winx Saga captured a darker spin. The show follows the lead Bloom (Abigail Cowen), who's working to navigate her dangerous powers with the help of her friends. Sadly, it was canceled after two seasons, with many speculating that the budget was too large. Per the News, there's actually going to be a comic that answers a lot of cliffhangers. Fate: The Winx Saga Vol. 1: Dark Destiny was announced and will answer a lot of fans' questions. Invisible City, also known as Cidade Invisivel, is a beloved fantasy show following an environmental police officer who finds a hidden world of mythological creatures with ties to Brazilian folklore. Despite having two successful seasons, Netflix axed the show, and the actors confirmed it, per DailyMail. Captain Fall only lasted one season, but fans adored it because it followed the topsy-turvy adventures of a bright-eyed sea captain who accidentally ends up entangled in a cartel ring. Despite being originally ordered for two seasons, viewership numbers were reportedly low. Farzar followed a group of misfits leaving their home to protect the human race from aliens, but not all was what it seemed! It was allegedly canceled due to the rippling effects of the SAG-AFTRA strike, per Deadline. Wellmania is the show that follows a woman who tries many different well-being living habits to try to reclaim her health. Per TV Line, the star and executive producer Celeste Barber confirmed the show would be ending after only one season, claiming Netflix said it had to do with poor numbers. The fan-favorite fantasy show, Shadow and Bone, which followed orphan mapmaker Alina Starkov and how her superpowers can shape the world after ruin, was canceled after two seasons. While it's unclear why the show was axed, it was canceled with two others potentially due to the strike halting productions. Starring Kim Cattrall, Glamorous followed a makeup enthusiast who was hired as one of the industry's biggest moguls. It was canceled after one season, along the same time it was announced Shadow and Bone and Agent Elvis were canceled. Starring Matthew McConaughey and Kaitlin Olson, Agent Elvis was about the legendary Elvis, but if he became a secret government spy. It was canceled after one season. Based on the comic book character, Warrior Nun was a fantastical fantasy show starring Alba Baptista, who plays an orphaned teen who realizes she has superpowers. Now, she and a group of fights have to band together to hunt demons. It lasted two seasons, but was cancelled before a third was announced. Based on the series by the same name, Lockwood & Co. instantly became a fan-favorite on Netflix when people could follow the psychic detection agency. Sadly, after one season and only four months since it premiered, Netflix has yet again pulled the plug on a potentially iconic show. Netflix has pulled the plug on the steamy romantic drama SEX/LIFE shortly after the second season's release. The short-lived show follows a suburban mother and housewife who finds herself hypnotized by her sexy, wild past when a former flame comes back into her life. In a podcast interview per Variety, the lead actress Sarah Shahi talked about how difficult things were in the second season, saying, 'I'm not going to put it down, but I definitely did not have the support that I did the first season from the people involved in the show. It became a much different thing for me, and I'm not afraid to say that. I struggled with the material. I just felt the thing that it had the first season — I mean, I'm never gonna work for Netflix again now after saying all this, but I can't lie. And it was definitely a challenge.' Another animated series to get the axe by Netflix is the beloved tongue-in-cheek animated comedy Inside Job, which follows a group of wacky coworkers who work tirelessly to keep secrets hidden and conspiracy theories alive. Despite having a die-hard fan base and trending consistently, Netflix nixed the idea of a second season. Cooking with Paris was hot, but Netflix decided it would only last one season, much to the chagrin of loyal viewers who adored seeing Paris Hilton try to navigate the kitchen in style. Based on the ever-so-popular children's book series, Baby-Sitters Club follows a group of young girls who start their own babysitting service. Sadly, it only lasted two seasons before Netflix decided to pull the plug. Starring Kathy Bates as cannabis legend Ruth Whitefeather Feldman, Disjointed follows her wacky journey of hiring her son and his friends to help run her Los Angeles marijuana dispensary. Despite critics hating it, it grew a loyal fanbase, but it didn't save it from lasting one season. Starring Sydney Sweeney and Jahi Di'Allo Winston, Everything Sucks was a coming-of-age series based on high-schoolers in 1990s Oregon, where the A/V club and drama club collide. Along with that, many are dealing with their identity, sexuality, and feeling out of place in high school. Sadly, viewership was low, and Netflix canned it, leaving those loyal viewers on a bunch of cliffhangers. Starring Naomi Watts, Gypsy was an intense thriller following a therapist who gets way too involved in the lives of her patients. Netflix canceled it almost immediately after the first season was released, with many still so confused as to why it got axed so early. One of the biggest cult followings from a Netflix show came from the Emmy-nominated show Sense8. The show followed a group of random people who were suddenly linked mentally and have to protect each other from being hunted by those who fear them. Apparently, Netflix canceled the show due to budget constraints, but fans are still wildly upset to this day. Chambers was the horror show for people back in 2019, which was as sinister as it gets. It followed a teenager who survived a heart transplant, but is plagued by 'sinister impulses.' Despite a dynamite cast and storyline, Netflix canceled it after one season. Along with canceling animated and hit series, Netflix isn't above canceling talk shows as well, including Chelsea Handler's show Chelsea. It was another amazing show of hers where she interviewed celebrities, academics, and professionals. But after two seasons, Netflix pulled the plug. This was one of those shows where Netflix just didn't give it a chance in the first place. Based on the insanely good anime, Cowboy Bebop was in hot water from the beginning, but many became fans of the show after watching it. It followed a group of bounty hunters who continually chase down the galaxy's most dangerous criminals. After three weeks after the series debut, they canned it. Iron Fist was a shocking cancelation announcement, especially since it was a long-awaited Marvel release. It followed a man who gained mystical martial arts skills called the Iron Fist. Two seasons in, and with a lot of cliff-hangers, fans had to say goodbye to another Netflix show. Chances are, your BFF isn't over Dash & Lily getting canceled after one season. The feel-good, romantic holiday series was based on the book of the same name, and despite them working on the second season, Netflix changed its mind. The Irregulars was a must for Sherlock Holmes fans, following a group of street teens who are manipulated into solving crimes for Doctor Watson and Sherlock Holmes. It was a wild ride from the start, but Netflix pulled the plug after one season. Another Netflix Marvel casualty was the show Luke Cage, which followed a man who was unexpectedly given super strength and unbreakable skin. Not only does he have to save his city of Harlem and those in it, but he has to save himself. After two seasons, Netflix canned it. The OA is a fantasy mystery following a blind girl who went missing for years, only to come back fine and with her sight. While it was an under-the-radar show, the fanbase was strong, but sadly not strong enough to dissuade Netflix from canceling it after two seasons due to budget cuts. Starring Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish, Tuca & Bertie was a fan-favorite show following two 30-year-old bird women BFFs navigating everything life throw at them. After one season, it was canceled by Netflix, but Adult Swim picked it up for the next two seasons, only to cancel it again. While it was technically over two seasons, Netflix did cancel it after one, so we're going to count this one. American Vandal was one of the most unique shows to hit Netflix. It was a true-crime satire that grew a total fanbase in no time, but Netflix still thought it was good to cancel it after two seasons. One cancellation that still stings fans to this day is when Netflix abruptly canceled the show Mindhunter ahead of its third season. The intelligent true crime show followed a couple of FBI agents who interviewed serial killers to solve open cases in the 1970s. Along with Inside Job, Netflix also announced at the beginning of 2023 that they were canceling the mystery series 1899 after one season. 1899 followed a group of European immigrants on a steamship to start new lives in New York City but obviously, things went asunder. After one electric season, I'm Not Okay With This was canceled. The fantasy dramedy followed a girl navigating the regular tribulations of high school, along with some mysterious superpowers she can't control. It was originally set to have at least two seasons, but due to COVID hardships, it was scrapped.

Amazon Prime adds seasons of 'cult classic' sci-fi series ideal for The Last of Us fans
Fans say it was a crime that it ended so soon Amazon Prime has just dropped several episodes of a lesser-known sci-fi series that could be the perfect binge-watch for The Last of Us fans. The first two seasons of Jeremiah have now been added to the retail behemoth's streaming service, making the entire series readily accessible for sci-fi buffs to delve into. The brainchild of filmmaker and comic book writer Joseph Michael Straczynski, who also brought us Babylon 5, Netflix's Sense8, and penned the screen stories for Marvel's Thor and World War Z. The series stars Riverdale's Luke Perry in the lead role, alongside Malcolm-Jamal Warner, with Lord of the Rings and Stranger Things' Sean Astin joining the cast in the second season. Set in an alternate 2021, Jeremiah is a lone wolf navigating a world populated by survivors of The Big Death, a plague that wiped out nearly everyone over the age of 13. Now, the children who were young enough to survive are grown up and must decide whether to scavenge from the remnants or build a new world. Jeremiah, meanwhile, has spent over a decade searching for a place known as Valhalla Sector, a potential sanctuary according to his late father. A third season was contemplated by the studio, but Straczynski made it clear he would not participate due to creative differences, reports Surrey Live. Ultimately, Showtime axed the series, shifting away from sci-fi programming. Despite its relative obscurity, the series has managed to maintain a dedicated fanbase who frequently express their affection for it online. This is despite the fact that only a small number of people seem to recall its original broadcast. On the Subreddit titled Forgotten Shows, one enthusiast shared: "Been lurking for a little while, but haven't seen anyone talk about this absolutely AMAZING show (Jeremiah). Luke Perry, Malcolm Jamal Warner, and Sean Astin (in Season 2). Amazing performances, great writing by J. Michael Straczynski. An absolute CRIME we didn't get more of this show." Another Redditor concurred with the initial post, responding: "So many posts on here aren't really forgotten. This one is a bullseye. If I had ever known there was a show with this cast, I'd never have missed an episode. Wonder if I can dig it up somewhere." A third chimed in: "This show is amazing. The second season is even better than the first. Just talking about it makes me want to watch it all over again for like the 12th time." Concerns have been raised that some elements of the show, now over 20 years old, haven't aged well. However, one fan who discovered it years after its initial release raved: "I just saw the first season of Jeremiah and I was completely blown away. What an awesome series!" They continued: "This is another Firefly cult-like classic. Because it was poorly marketed it didn't get the attention it deserved. I would love to see this series take off again! This would be very well received on the sci-fi channel or any other channel for that matter." Another viewer noted that the opening two-part episode may be a hurdle for some, but advised persistence: "The first two episodes, which set up the premise of the series, were the worst. Seemed very derivative and pretty cheesy. But once they got past the series intro it really started to hit its stride. I consider this one of the great under-the-radar sci fi shows out there."
