Fear Street Part 1: 1994

Literally traveling to hell and back for the love of your life sets the bar pretty high for romance. Based on R.L. Stine’s YA horror novels, the Fear Street movies center around a supernatural curse haunting the town of Shadyside, Ohio. In the first entry, we’re introduced to Deena (Kiana Madeira) and Sam (Olivia Scott Welch), who split up when Sam moves away to a different town. Although Deena is heartbroken, when her ex is seemingly haunted by an evil specter, she’s willing to do anything to save her.

Charmed

Mel, Niko, Jada

There’s nothing more bewitching than sapphic representation in the form of a lesbian love triangle. In the Charmed reboot’s first season, middle sister Mel (Melonie Diaz) is a college student activist practicing her witch spells on the side. Her longtime girlfriend Niko (Ellen Tamaki) is a police detective who’s almost a little too good at solving crimes. Mel and Niko might seem like a match made in heaven, but things change when Jada (Aleyse Shannon), a witch, of course, joins the fold to brew up a little relationship drama.

Sense8

Nomi and Amanita

From chosen families to trans representation, the Wachowski-led series is a celebration of queerness. It follows the lives of eight strangers who have the power to telepathically experience each other’s lives. Among the group is Nomi Marks (Jamie Clayton), a trans “hacktivist” who uses her abilities to jump through government loopholes to obtain documents for her trans friends. Nomi’s girlfriend, Amanita (Freema Agyeman), is a cisgender lesbian who tags along for the adventures.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow

Sara and Ava

The Legends, a group of outcasts and misfits, already have enough on their plate trying to operate and maintain the world’s timeline. No wonder Legends leader Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) just wants to protect her team and has no patience for any bureaucratic bullshit. Tensions rise when Time Bureau agent Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) comes along to enforce the rules that Sara doesn’t have time for, but the heated energy between the women quickly grows into something more. Everyone knows there’s nothing hotter than enemies who eventually become lovers.

Wynonna Earp

Waverly and Nicole

There’s a reason the phrase “bury your gays” exists: An overwhelming number of queer characters are killed on-screen. According to a 2016 tally by GLAAD, 25 queer women died on TV that year alone. In that same year, though, came Wynonna Earp, Syfy’s supernatural Western, which worked hard to change the game. In it, Waverly Earp (Dominique Provost-Chalkley), the title character’s younger sister, dates town sheriff Nicole Haught (Katherine Barrell). While things aren’t always smooth-riding for them, no queer characters are killed off, as showrunner Emily Andras had vowed not to do. Also? Waverly and Nicole are a testament to the fact that writing complex and dynamic lesbian characters who don’t fall under the male gaze is not only possible to do, but also makes for compelling, impactful viewing.

Black Mirror

Yorkie and Kelly (“San Junipero”)

Black Mirror is known for its unsettling — and often downright disturbing — cautionary tales about how technology ruins lives. But its “San Junipero” episode is a respite from the series’ haunting themes, proving that heaven is a place on earth where queer love can thrive. Yorkie (Mackenzie Davis) is a shy and introverted woman who meets party girl Kelly (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) at a San Junipero nightclub. Their budding romance grows as the two women travel through consciousness and time to be with each other. With flashing neon lights and an ’80s-infused soundtrack, “San Junipero” is a nostalgic and romantic tale about exploring sexuality and finding love.
