Do you want a story with a cast that's almost completely female? Do you want a story with a girlboss who gets to be big (and unshaved, hee hee), without any stupid morals about how that's wrong??? A cool old lady mentor? Criticism of the church??? Showing cops as the brutes that they are??? A sweet slowburn will-they-won't-they with a short king who grows and changes and becomes a better person for the main character? A boss-ass-bitch princess who comes into the story killing people? A story about a laywoman saving her kingdom?
Sick worldbuilding, amazing adventures, a little dash of spirituality, have i mentioned the girlbosses??? And stakes that always manage to feel high!!! The author studied the subjects of the story so well, and it shows! Strong tension too!!!
You've gotta see it!!!

Are you looking for an incredible series that delves deep into religious trauma and purity culture through the supernatural? Jane Eyre meets The Hunger Games meets Gravity Falls in this awesome series. It features a diverse cast including queer and POC actors as strong female protagonists and queer-coded characters. This series uses its distinct representation of the paranormal as a metaphor to tackle important issues like bodily autonomy, religious philosophy, mental health, and generational trauma. This series also includes some great romance and relationships, such as found family, enemies-to-lovers, and childhood-friends-to-lovers. Plus, if you just can't get enough, there's tons of lore and spinoffs to sink your teeth into. If you love philosophical debate, comprehensive world building, swoon-worthy romances, and/or unique takes on the supernatural, then this is for you!
