When you’re watching reruns as background noise or zooming through a new series to see how it ends, binge-watching is perfectly fine.
But with this week’s curated collection of queer television shows from the Blade’s vaults, binge-watching is not allowed. Take the time to savor the writing, the acting and the design and to discuss what you’re watching with family and friends. “Gentleman Jack” (HBO) is a rollicking portrait of Anne Lister, an English landowner often descried as “the first modern lesbian.” Like any cash-poor landowner, Lister decides that she needs a rich wife and sets her sights on Ann Walker, a local heiress who’s been dazzled by Lister’s charisma for years.
