The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself (2022)Ĭast: Jay Lycurgo, Nadia Parkes, Emilien Vekemans, Isobel Jesper Jones, Karen Connell, Paul Ready, David Gyasi, Kerry Kox, Fehinti Balogun, Misia Butler, Liz White, Róisín Murphy, Tim Plesterīased on Sally Green’s young adult novel Half Bad, The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself follows the titular 16-year-old bastard Nathan Byrn (Lycurgo), the illegitimate son of the world’s most dangerous and feared witch whose rather unfortunate birthright lands him smack dab in the middle of an ancient war within the witch community. Netflix boasts a plethora of incredible LGBTQ+ comedies, dramas and thrillers, so we’ve rounded up some of the best that you can stream right now.
Over the past few years, the streamer has built a reputation as one of the most inclusive sources for content, whether it’s originals such as Heartstopper, Young Royale and Glamorous, to network classics like American Horror Story, Pose or RuPaul’s Drag Race.
It’s impossible to deny Netflix’s role in this. In fact, a recent report from GLAAD discovered that the amount of queer characters on our screens has increased by over 100 to a new record. As of 2023, however, representation for the LGBTQ+ community on television has never been better.
No shade to some of these characters of course, because a lot of them paved the way for the positive queer representation we see today. Remember when LGBTQ+ characters were the sidekick? The stereotypical white cis gay who popped up in a recurring capacity for comedic effect? Or if they were the central character, their sexuality would be downplayed and scenes of intimacy would be non-existent? Yeah, we’ll admit: we don’t really miss those days.
