Sitcoms have come a long way in terms of LGBTQ+ representation, with recent shows featuring standout queer characters who are no longer the butt of the joke—they’re often the funniest person in the room!
So next time you go to start your thousandth rewatch of Will & Grace—don’t worry, we all do it—try one of these shows instead. Read on for queer-inclusive comedy series to stream this weekend.Happy Endings got off to a just-okay start, with the series focusing on a group of six adult friends—married power couple Jane (Eliza Coupe) and Brad (Marlon Wayans, Jr.); ditzy Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) and her recently jilted ex-fiance, Dave (Zachary Knighton); perpetually single and chaotic Penny (the phenomenal Casey Wilson); and unemployed gay schlub Max (Adam Pally).
The show, which lasted three seasons, eventually found its fast-talking groove and played to its cast’s sparkling chemistry.
