It’s too cold! Cozy up with these 5 recent queer shows you may have missed instead
Why brave the elements when you could be under a blanket watching some queer TV?
Baby, it’s way too cold outside. Temperatures are plummeting around the country and sure playing in the snow can be fun, but after the novelty wears off (see you in 15 minutes, Mary) it's time for a little cozy indoor entertainment.
Instead of braving frostbite, pop some popcorn, warm up some cocoa, grab your designer throw (and a cutie to cuddle up with), and catch up on those recent queer shows you may have missed when it was too nice outside to stay in!

Three years ago he was recruited to take part in a dangerous heist, and despite all the odds he pulled off and disappeared into a new life in America, complete with a hot soon-to-be husband and two adorable kids. But of course, this nuclear family is about to blow up when his past comes back to haunt him, this time wearing a mask and assassinating his co-conspirators.

Ok, to be fair this just started this week, but having seen the first episode of this series, like the first season of the hit show, is going to be one you don't want to miss out on. Plus it stars two out queer leads: Jodie Foster and Kali Reis as the titular detectives.
This time around the True Detective story follows the dual mystery of an indigenous woman’s unsolved murder and a group of scientists that disappeared into thin (very, very cold air) that just may be connected. Despite a seething rage bubbling below the surface between the two detectives, they are going to have to team up to confront the evil in their tiny Alaskan townWhere to stream: On MaxWho doesn’t love a period piece, am I right? Especially a feminist take on a classic bodice ripper? The Buccaneers is based on Edith Wharton’s final, unfinished novel about a group of young, wealthy American women who head over to England in search of husbands. While the British upper crust may turn thier nose at the girls' 'new money' and American culture they are eager for their fortunes. And wouldn't you just know it, there are a couple of Sapphic girlies in the mix adding another layer of romantic taboo — and frankly is the best and healthiest couple in the mix. The series has just been renewed for a second season, so now is the time to get into it!
