"I watched two very hyped new shows: Pluribus from Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan, about Carol (played by Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable person on Earth who must save the world from happiness; and The Beast in Me, a buzzy hit where sad Claire Danes has to figure out whether her new neighbour is a killer. One is an alien apocalypse misery romp, one is a prestige grief-mystery,"
"Coming from me, a lesbian of Some Bitch status, Bitch Lesbian is a term of endearment We have come some distance with inclusion of queer characters in TV shows (although it ebbs and flows), but it is very rare that we get a lesbian lead. So it is some sort of a Christmas miracle that I get two shows with a lesbian lead. But it's even more rare that the two lesbian leads are representative of an important part of my community Bitch Lesbians."
A holiday included catching up on many television shows and some nature viewing. Two hyped new shows, Pluribus and The Beast in Me, featured lesbian protagonists. Pluribus, from Vince Gilligan, centers on Carol (Rhea Seehorn), a miserable woman who must save the world from happiness. The Beast in Me follows a grieving Claire Danes as she investigates whether her new neighbour is a killer. The person identifies as a lesbian who actively seeks queer stories and cherishes depictions of women kissing. Lesbian leads remain rare, and these two programs present an assertive, unlikable "Bitch Lesbian" archetype that the person celebrates as meaningful representation.
