HBO is no stranger to an amazing special, television series, documentary… you name it, HBO has it. That said, there are a ton of bisexual women and lesbians integrated into HBO’s series. Whether it’s an original or a re-upload, we love seeing lesbian representation across the streaming service! If you’re in the mood to support some of your favorite gay women, never fear! AfterEllen has curated a list of our top five favorite HBO series that you must-watch, just for you. Sit back, relax, and grab some popcorn as we take your through some of the best shows, movies, and specials on HBO that are now streaming.
Batwoman
We came for Ruby Rose (lol) and we stayed for the plot! It’s no secret AfterEllen loves the Batwoman series, no matter how it has shaken out, and it definitely is worth the binge if you have an HBO subscription.
Gossip Girl Reboot
Hear us out, while the Gossip Girl reboot was short-lived, fans of the show will love to see lesbians at the forefront as its parent show was rather… lacking in representation. Plus, having a Blair-character being a Black lesbian is absolutely amazing. Just saying.
Nancy Drew
If you’ve been following AfterEllen for awhile, you know we have covered (and we mean COVERED) the Nancy Drew CW series. We can’t help it, we just love it so! It’s got murder and sci-fi mystery, intrigue, and lesbians (past and present!)
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin
Are you a PLL fan? Well, you will definitely want to check out the HBO reboot. The writers of PLL have never shied away from a lesbian storyline, and we love to see it. Drama fans, this one is for you. Especially if you love a high school mystery.
The Sex Lives Of College Girls
The title of the show may be a no-brainer, but The Sex Lives Of College Girls is an amazing show on HBO right now. It dismantles the “lesbian phase” stereotype of college girls while also highlighting just what discovering your sexuality in your early twenties actually looks like. It’s worth the binge, that’s for sure!
