Stranger Things (2016) | Season 1

[latinposeidon]

Just take a minute to think about the shows that have been cancelled / cancelled then taken up by another channel in the last couple days:

- Brooklyn Nine-Nine: includes a possibly bisexual main character, several badass Latina women, one who is canonically bi, a gay black captain, and a black sergeant that tackles police brutality and corruption. Tackles racism, addiction, and homophobia and shows both healthy Male and female friendships where they show each other how much they love and care about each other with no toxic masculinity/pointless girl on girl hate. Has amazing cold opens and jokes throughout

- Lucifer: includes a pan main who isn’t ashamed of his sexuality, a single mother, a pan South African woman, a genius Hispanic girl with insecurity issues and mental illnesses, and a black guy. Mostly about family, both blood and chosen, how families aren’t always perfect and how hard it can be to get over people’s preconceptions about you. Also shows police corruption but is still quite light hearted

- Wayward Sisters: includes a widowed single adoptive mother, a divorced woman who would have also acted as a mother, a teen girl most likely with Stockholm’s syndrome, an orphan who watched her father leave her and mother die (I think), a black girl whose father practically disowned her for accepting that she’s psychic, and a Hispanic (edit: Native American) girl with mental illnesses who struggled with addiction. Hinted at a wlw subplot and seemed to be actually willing to go down that route. Showed how people grieve over the people they care about and that it’s good and healthy

And then shows like Big Bang with stereotypical characters and that makes fun out of the autistic character gets renewed season after season. It’s almost as if the audience wants diverse shows but the channels just want to keep making money off repetitive unfunny shows whose only diversity is through stereotypes. Huh. Shocker.
