'Wordle' today: Get the answer, hints for June 1

Wordle game displayed on a phone and a laptop screen.

It's the first day of summer (or winter for our southern hemisphere friends) and the good folks of Wordle have cooked up a fresh new puzzle for us to solve, as they do every day. If you just couldn't get today's answer and prefer to cut to the chase, you can skip to the end of this article for the solution to Wordle 347.

But for those of you who'd rather work out the answer yourself, keep reading for some subtle clues to nudge you towards the answer, and strategies to help you every day.

Some background: Wordle was originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, but soon went mega-viral. Thousands of people around the globe now play this game each day, and fans have even created alternate Wordle versions inspired by the original. This includes battle royale format Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once

In fact, the word puzzle game has proved so popular that the New York Times eventually bought it, and TikTok creators livestream themselves playing.

Not the day you're after? Here's the Wordle answer for May 31.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that makes you happy. However, if you prefer a strategic approach over an emotional one, we have some ideas to help you select the perfect opening. A key consideration is choosing a word with at least two different vowels in it, plus a few common consonants such as T, S, or N.

I have a friend who starts with PENIS every day, and you know what? Mathematically speaking, he's not wrong. (Though it's not in the original word list, so it will almost certainly never be the answer.)

One Wordle a day is all well and good, but sometimes it just isn't enough. If you want to escape into the world of Wordle for a bit longer, the entire archive of past puzzles is available for you to explore whenever you'd like. Just remember to get up and stretch every now and again, and maybe eat something.

Is Wordle getting harder?

If you've been finding Wordle too easy, there is a Hard Mode you can switch on to give yourself more of a challenge. But in general, we can assure you that Wordle isn't getting harder

Why are there two different Wordle answers some days?

Usually, Wordle solutions are like Highlander: There can be only one. However, occasionally the game will accept two different correct solutions on the same day, in apparent defiance of Wordle law. This aberration is due to changes the New York Times made to the original word list and order after it acquired Wordle earlier this year.

A subtle hint for the June 1 Wordle answer:

It's a sound (and also sounds like another word that's spelled differently).

The June 1 Wordle today is a 5-letter word that starts with...

The letter C!

What's the answer to the June 1 Wordle?

It's...

Best cloud storage services: Back up, share, and collaborate more easily

clouds

Remote based storage is nothing new, but there's never been a busier time for cloud-based services. With the growing trend for more and more businesses working remotely and more individuals than ever storing increasingly large amounts of essential files, it's vital that you have some form of backup and the ability to work collaboratively via the internet courtesy of a suitable cloud storage service.

There are dozens of different cloud services out there, so how do you know what's best for you or your business? We've taken a look at seven of the best cloud storage options, evaluating the services they offer, and finding the best solution for every scenario, no matter your budget.

Why should I store my files in the cloud?

In a word, security. Your personal PC or Mac likely contains a lot of valuable files. These might be photos of loved ones, important documents relating to your studies, or vital tax documents that you don't want to lose. Whatever the files may be, they're essential to you, so it makes sense to have copies in multiple locations. That's even more crucial for businesses, given that losing vital files could cost them a lot of money as well as credibility amongst their customers. It's undoubtedly essential to back up data on other physical hard drives, but a cloud-based storage solution means that someone else is keeping them secure and safe. A cloud backup can make a world of difference if something awful happens at your physical location, such as a fire or burglary.

What should I look for in cloud storage solutions?

Cloud storage options can be confusing. When it comes to maintaining stored files, what do you need? Do you simply need a secure place to leave your files, or do you require collaboration tools so that other users can make adjustments?

Collaboration tools might sound like something only a business needs when editing documents, but it can be useful for families to be able to join together to add photos to a folder for a special event. If you're planning on storing multiple media files, consider file size limits and storage space requirements. For personal use, free cloud storage can be the best option too, giving you many of the benefits and none of the bills. We've covered all the main reasons why you might want to use cloud storage below, and have outlined our top picks for the best cloud storage services.

Bo Burnham has released one hour of 'Inside' outtakes

A screenshot of Bo Burnham in The Inside Outtakes.

It's been a year to the day since comedian Bo Burnham released his Netflix special Inside, unleashing a deluge of pandemic isolation feelings alongside viral songs about Jeff Bezos and white women's Instagram accounts.

Now the Eighth Grade writer and director has published over one hour of Inside's unused material. It includes new music, sketches, and plenty of existential staring.

"I've spent the last two months editing together material that I shot for the special but didn’t end up using," Burnham wrote in a tweet announcing The Inside Outtakes.

You can watch it here.

Filmed between March 2020 and May 2021, The Inside Outtakes will probably make more sense if you watch Burnham's Netflix special first. At the very least, the repeated choral strains of "Jeffrey Bezos" will have some context. Though on the other hand, Inside didn't have much in the way of a coherent narrative anyway.

How HBO's 'The Time Traveler's Wife' is different from the book

A woman stands in a library holding photos in one hand and a cassette tape in the other.

Massive spoilers ahead, as well as triggering content.

Audrey Niffenegger's 2003 novel The Time Traveler's Wife has been adapted to the screen twice: as a film in 2009, and now as a TV series on HBO.

The story of The Time Traveler's Wife — a science-fiction romance spanning decades — is extremely tricky to adapt. Clare Abshire (Rose Leslie) meets her future husband Henry DeTamble (Theo James) when he has involuntarily traveled back in time, at which point she is 6 and he's 36. The novel tells the story of their relationship out of chronological order, including their first meeting in the "present" and their marriage.

As with any adaptation, screenwriter Steven Moffat's new version of The Time Traveler's Wife has to make some adjustments. But which ones work, and which ones fall flat? Here are the biggest changes from the novel so far. Beware: the list includes spoilers for the show and the books.

A new framing device

Right off the bat, the first episode of The Time Traveler's Wife hits us with a structural change. The series opens with Henry and Clare recording videos of themselves speaking directly to camera about their relationship to time travel. This framing device isn't in the novel, but Moffat uses this direct address in order to lift some prose directly from Niffenegger's novel, specifically from the prologue. Why are they making videos? Who are they speaking to? Only time will tell.

We're updating this whole story

The TV version of The Time Traveler's Wife takes place from the 1990s to the present day, whereas the novel takes place from the 1960s to the early 2000s. This decision is likely to make the story feel more relevant, but it will be interesting to see how (and if) more modern technology impacts the story.

The fight about Ingrid

Definitely the biggest change between the book and the show in the first episode is Clare's reaction to finding out Henry has a girlfriend, named Ingrid (Chelsea Frei). Clare finds Ingrid's toiletries in Henry's bathroom and fights with him, calling him an asshole and storming out of his apartment. Only an intervention from Henry's older self makes Clare consider seeing Henry again.

In the book, Clare's reaction to seeing Ingrid's stuff is a lot milder. She thinks, "Whoever you are, I'm here now. You may be Henry's past, but I'm his future." Henry explains the situation with Ingrid and apologizes to Clare, and that's that. Show Clare's reaction might be a bit more realistic than book Clare's, but the fight also puts Henry and Clare's relationship on a far more antagonistic path.

Henry's baby teeth can time travel?

Moffat adds some new time travel lore to The Time Traveler's Wife. In the show, parts of Henry's body, such as his baby teeth, are able to time travel separately. The first episode also explores this idea with the double whammy of a time-traveling pool of blood and a time-traveling pair of detached feet. These moments, all show-only creations, foreshadow the darkest moments of Henry's future. On the other hand, they raise some questions about what other bodily... fluids of Henry's are just time traveling willy-nilly across the world.

Henry and Clare keep fighting.

Episode 2 of The Time Traveler's Wife features 20-year-old Clare and 28-year-old Henry still arguing about Henry being a jerk and cheating on Ingrid. They keep fighting, and Clare even tries to change the future and get away from their date. However, since the future's already set in stone, the date goes on anyway.

While Clare and Henry begin to make up this episode — with Clare even admitting she's been horrible to Henry too — the choice to make them so antagonistic from the start really sours their relationship. Where's the care for each other? Where's the tenderness? Henry and Clare's love story is already embroiled in discomfort given that they met when she was 6 and he was fully grown. Why make it even harder to root for them by making them both so relentlessly mean? This whole sequence just feels like Moffat mistook an argument for playful romantic banter. Sorry, it doesn't work.

A message from the past

The main focus of The Time Traveler's Wife's second episode is showing just how much the death of Henry's mother Annette (Kate Siegel) impacted him. We see the fateful Christmas car accident play out a few too many times if you ask me. Later, Henry watches his younger self (Jason David) try to warn his mother about the accident in a show-only scene that emphasizes how Henry is unable to change the path.

Henry and Clare's second date culminates in a trip to the Newberry Library, where Henry plays Clare a recording of one of his mother's performances. He asks Clare if she has anything she'd have liked to ask his mother while she was still alive, at which point Henry reveals that Annette answers Clare's question — "How does any couple get together?" — in the old recording. Annette tells future-Clare that couples don't get together. They get together for a short amount of time, but relationships always end. And that's okay because it's better to have been happy for a little while than not at all. Sweet, I guess?

While this speech is new to the show, it sets up the tragic end of Henry and Clare's relationship and continues to play with the mechanics of time travel. It also allows two very important people in Henry's life to interact in a way they normally couldn't have.

The Time Traveler's Wife makes the worst possible book-to-TV show change in Episode 3

When it comes to Episode 3 of The Time Traveler's Wife, there are a number of small book-to-show changes I could talk about. But I only want to focus on one change, which is the incomprehensible decision to add a rape to the show that isn't in the book.

In Niffenegger's novel, 16-year-old Clare goes on a date with a jock named Jason. When she chooses not to have sex with him, he beats her and burns her with a cigarette. Clare enlists Henry to beat him up for her, telling him what happened, including the fact that Jason didn't rape her. In the show, Clare tells Henry the exact same thing. However, the scene then cuts to future Clare, talking straight to camera as part of the show's new framing device, saying, "Of course he raped me." From that point on, the rest of the episode barely registers.

To put it mildly, this is a wildly irresponsible and disgusting adaptation decision. Jason's assault of Clare in the books is already vile, yet the show traumatizes her further for no good reason. Depictions of rape and assault on-screen need to be handled with care. The Time Traveler's Wife does not do that. If anything, it frames Clare's rape as a shocking revelation and then has the audacity to make her assault about Henry, with Henry's reaction to Clare's injuries leading to him revealing he's her husband in the future. The rest of the episode treats the rape, and the fact that Clare never tells Henry about it, more as background noise. However, it's impossible to forget it, no matter how much The Time Traveler's Wife tries to move on with business as usual.

Steven Moffat, I want to know what prompted you to make this choice. What about the source material made you think, "I should add rape to this"? Did you think it would make for more impactful television?

I can assure you, it does not. It's jarring, it's a slap in the face to people familiar with the novel, and it needlessly puts a character — who has already gone through a lot of pain — through even more. Of all the changes you could have made when adapting Niffenegger's novel to the screen, this one shouldn't have even been on your radar. It's ridiculous that it crossed your mind, and it's ridiculous that it made it to air.

The Time Traveler's Wife airs on HBO and streams on HBO Max.

We'll be updating this list weekly with the release of every new episode of The Time Traveler's Wife, so be sure to check back in to learn more about the differences between the book and the show.

The best short-ass movies on Prime Video for when you need fast and fun entertainment

An animated green ogre talking to a donkey in a field of flowers.

These days, every time you click the play button on a movie or head to the theater, you're in for the long haul. Need a pee break in the middle of Dune? Better hope you're streaming, or you'll miss something important. Do your eyes hurt halfway through The Irishman? Sucks to suck; pay attention. Are you falling asleep during The Northman? That's what you get for turning 30. Pete Davidson was right: what happened to all the short-ass movies?

Well, we found 'em. The best short-ass movies (under 90 minutes) on Amazon Prime Video. Now, you can enjoy a movie without having to dedicate legit hours of your life that you can't get back. You are welcome.

1. Shrek

A meme-worthy masterpiece still celebrated 20 years after its release, Shrek is one of the most iconic kid movies of all time. It perfectly balances fairytale characters and gross-out gags with a sweet story about loving yourself and never judging a book by its cover. Everyone's favorite grouchy green ogre, Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers), reluctantly quests to rescue Princess Fiona (voiced by Cameron Diaz). Along the way, he encounters trusty sidekick Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy), fights a dragon, and monologues about onions. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter (*)

How to watch: Shrek is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

2. Paranormal Activity

The indie film that ushered in a new age of horror, Paranormal Activity brought fresh life to the found footage subgenre. With $15,000, 7 days to shoot, a singly set suburban home, and a pair of actors game to play, writer/director Oren Peli created a demonic story that had audiences howling in terror. Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat star as a young couple who should be in the newlywed phase of moving in together. But in the dark of the night, something keeps creeping into their bedroom. Compared to the sequels that would follow, this first outing might seem tame, even with the flashy alternative ending it got upon studio acquisition. Yet, Paranormal Activity is still deeply chilling. Peli set up an expectation with the long shot of the bedroom, training us to watch for threats, even when the heroes could not in their slumber. And each time that threat comes, it brings goosebumps. —Kristy Puchko, Deputy Entertainment Editor (*)

How to watch: Paranormal Activity is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

3. Office Space

Mike Judge has always had a knack for finding the pulse of things. It's Idiocracy that (understandably) tends to get the most credit in our post-Trump world, but 1999's workplace comedy Office Space is similarly perfect.

Starring Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston, the intensely quotable laugh-fest is wall-to-wall with iconic examples of comedy. Everything from Lumberg to the trials of Michael Bolton; from the Red Stapler to the ignoble death of an uncooperative printer. Office Space beautifully, and hilariously captures the mundane tortures, inane logic, and cathartic escapes of an unsatisfying office job. As true and accurate now as it was back then. — Adam Rosenberg, Senior Entertainment Reporter (*)

How to watch: Office Space is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

4. Guava Island

Rihanna and Donald Glover lead in this darkly joyous musical movie journey. A vibrant blend of contemporary tracks and timeless storytelling (with just a sprinkling of FX's Atlanta-esque style), Hiro Murai's Guava Island tells a tale of oppression and resistance always worth revisiting. If you haven't seen it before, make the time. At just 55 minutes, it's a steal. — Alison Foreman, Entertainment Reporter (*)

How to watch: Guava Island is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

5. The VelociPastor

You read that right. The VelociPastor, a low-budget B-movie about a pastor who can turn into a dinosaur, is indeed one of the best short-ass movies on Prime Video. Completely self-aware of its ridiculous premise, The VelociPastor basks in the glory of bad special effects and campy dialogue, moving from "so bad it's good" territory into "this might be the raddest movie I've ever seen" territory. Follow along with the titular VelociPastor, Doug Jones (Greg Cohan), as he embraces his newfound power — and also fights a group of cocaine-dealing ninjas. It's the perfect way to spend 75 minutes. — B.E.

How to watch: The VelociPastor is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

6. The Iron Giant

The Iron Giant holds up. The Incredibles director Brad Bird's feature debut from 1999 is all about a skyscraping robot from beyond the stars. If you squint really hard, this story — of a stranded alien and the pre-teen boy who helps him — has a lot in common with E.T. But Steven Spielberg's puppet never fought back like the Iron Giant.

Vin Diesel lends his signature gravelly voice to the film's eponymous star, teaming up with the 9-year-old Hogarth (Eli Marienthal) and local junkyard owner Dean McCoppin (Harry Conick, Jr.) as government forces close in. Featuring a dazzling mix of traditional and computer-generated animation and a killer cast that also includes Jennifer Aniston and Cloris Leachman, The Iron Giant is one you don't want to miss. — A.R.

How to watch: The Iron Giant is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

7. Saint Maud

If religious horror is what your dark heart desires, then your prayers are answered with Saint Maud. Critics heralded writer/director Rose Glass's feature film debut as a horror masterpiece, and it's easy to see why. Morfydd Clark gives a riveting and nerve-rattling performance as Maud, a hospice nurse who's tasked with caring for the body. But her bigger goal is to save the soul of her decadent new patient. Amanda (Jennifer Ehle) doesn't believe in God, but does believe in a good time. Her sensuality concerns and enchants Maud, pulling the two into a bond that will turn bitter and brutal. Weaving real religious rituals into the seductive spin of psychological horror, Glass creates a descent into hell that is a twisted delight to watch. — K.P. (*)

How to watch: Saint Maud is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

8. Pass Over

Spike Lee directs this filmed performance of Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu's intelligent stage retelling of Waiting for Godot, this time featuring two young Black men, who riff on culture, escape, and the invisible chains that lock disaffected people in place. Both provocative and profane, the Pass Over movie features the original off-Broadway cast (all of whom eventually followed the show to Broadway) in electrifying performances that mine humor and heartbreak from Chinonye Nwandu's excellent text. — Alexis Nedd, Senior Entertainment Reporter

How to watch: Pass Over is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Our Flag Means Death treats the near-ubiquitous queer romances of its cast with humor, respect, and often stunning tenderness, culminating in one of TV's most satisfying slow-burn relationships. —Alexis Nedd, Senior Entertainment Reporter

Where to watch: Our Flag Means Death is streaming on HBO Max.

2. Legendary

A ballroom in full swing

What it is: A reality competition series centered on voguing and ballroom culture.

Why we like it: With dance icon Dashaun Wesley serving as master of ceremonies, Legendary explores the high-stakes world of ballroom — a once-underground LGBTQ subculture dating back to the 19th century. Across two seasons, hyper-talented dance teams or "houses" come together to meet the performance and fashion challenges of judges Leiomy Maldonado, Law Roach, Jameela Jamil, and Megan Thee Stallion. Yes, it's an essential preservation of LGBTQ culture, but it's also one of the most jaw-droppingly spectacular reality series out there. The talent on display is dynamic and inspiring — so much so, you'll probably end up doing some voguing of your own. — Alison Foreman, Entertainment Reporter

Where to watch: Legendary is streaming on HBO Max.

3. Everything's Gonna Be Okay

What it is: A dramedy series that centers on an Australian man (creator Josh Thomas) raising his American teen stepsisters in the wake of their father's death.

Why we like it: Starring as neurotic but lovable Josh Moss, writer/actor Josh Thomas playfully pitches himself in a fish-out-of-water scenario, where culture clashes, generation gaps, and sibling rivalries collide to comedic and heart-hitting effect. Far from a one-man show, Everything's Gonna Be Okay also explores the inner life of Josh's boyfriend (Adam Faison), anxious little sister Genevieve (Maeve Press), and music prodigy Matilda (Kayla Cromer), who is on the autism spectrum. Through their journeys, this brilliantly empathetic comedy explores coming of age, queerness, asexuality, and the true meaning of family. —Kristy Puchko, Deputy Entertainment Editor

Where to watch: Everything's Gonna Be Okay is streaming on Hulu.

4. Schitt's Creek

What it is: A sitcom about a rich family forced to move to a rural town.

Why we like it: Apologies for being the thousandth person to tell you to watch Schitt's Creek...but like, just watch Schitt's Creek? Not only is this series one of the most all-around delightful viewing experiences in modern memory, but it also offers a moving and nuanced look at LGBTQ love that actually lets a gay couple serve as the main romantic storyline. Dan Levy and Noah Reid will charm the absolute socks off of you, so enjoy every minute of their characters' perfect romance. —A.R.

Where to watch: Schitt's Creek is streaming on Netflix.

5. The Owl House

What it is: An animated show about a human girl who gets stuck in the demon realm, where she learns magic under the tutelage of a charismatic witch.

Why we love it: Zany and epic in equal measures, The Owl House is a celebration of individuality that joins other animated shows such as Steven Universe and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power in breaking new ground in LGBTQ representation. The show's main character, Luz Noceda, is unapologetically queer and in a blossoming romance with her former rival, Amity. The Owl House also makes history by introducing Disney's first-ever nonbinary character: bard Raine Whispers. While the show's end is nearing, there's no understating the impact it's had on audiences. Seriously, its devoted fanbase makes it trend on Twitter any time a new episode comes out. That's the power of Lumity. —Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Where to watch: The Owl House is streaming on Disney+.

6. The L Word: Generation Q

What it is: A reboot of the popular aughts dramedy The L Word.

Why we like it: From 2004 to 2009, The L Word dazzled fans with its captivating — and, for the times, groundbreaking — drama of a lesbian friend group living in Los Angeles. In 2019, Showtime brought the beloved title back with The L Word: Generation Q, which features a more modern set of characters but shares the same caliber of juicy plotlines as the original. Stars Jennifer Beals, Katherine Moennig, and Leisha Hailey return, alongside newcomers Arienne Mandi, Sepideh Moafi, Leo Sheng, Jacqueline Toboni, and Rosanny Zayas. It's a ridiculously fun watch that continues the series' legacy of increasing LGBTQ visibility through a metropolitan lens. —A.R.

Where to watch: The L Word: Generation Q is streaming on Showtime.

7. RuPaul's Drag Race

Best TV shows to watch for Pride Credit: VH1

What it is: A reality competition show determining who will be “America’s Next Drag Superstar.”

Why we like it: RuPaul's Drag Race brought the art form of drag to the mainstream, providing a platform to queer artists all across America and the world. Ever since its 2009 premiere, Drag Race has increased the visibility of LGBTQ stories and issues: Contestants on the show candidly discuss everything from fighting for marriage equality to being HIV positive. Drama may occur (this is a reality show, after all), but there’s a persisting sense of support and cherishing found family throughout. Plus, you'll be in awe of these queens' talent and the sheer versatility of drag. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Where to watch: RuPaul's Drag Race Seasons 1-12 are streaming on Paramount+; RuPaul's Drag Race Seasons 10-14 are streaming on VH1.com.

8. Love, Victor

What it is: A dramedy about coming out in high school spinning off the popular film Love, Simon.

Why we like it: This TV spinoff from 2018's queer romantic comedy Love, Simon stars Michael Cimino as Victor, a new student at Simon's high school. He's a star athlete, a model son, a great friend...and he's beginning to think he might be gay. 

Love, Victor is pitch-perfect high school drama with all the sweeping musical cues and whispered secrets that entails, and its connection to the original movie is incredibly sweet — Victor reaches out to Simon (now graduated) on Instagram for advice, and the franchise's OG romantic hero periodically offers him advice on how to deal with life at Creekwood High. —Alexis Nedd, Senior Entertainment Reporter*

Where to watch: Love, Victor is streaming on Hulu.

9. Dead End: Paranormal Park

What it is: A new animated series that follows a trans boy and his friends, who work at a haunted theme park full of demons, goofy to diabolical. (Imagine Dollywood meets hell!)

Why we like it: Based on Hamish Steele's fantastic graphic novel DeadEndia, Dead End: Paranormal Park promises to blend comedy and horror with what it means to come of age trans. Having left behind a family who doesn't support him, Barney (voiced by Zack Barack) finds a rich community among his new friend Norma (Kody Kavitha), his crush (Kenny Tran), a mischievous demon (Emily Osment), and his loyal pet pug (Alex Brightman), who has acquired the ability to talk and do magic! —K.P.

Where to watch: Dead End: Paranormal Park is streaming on Netflix, starting June 16.

10. Sense8

Young people celebrate
Best TV shows to watch this Pride Credit: Segolene Lagny / Netflix

What it is: A sci-fi drama about a powerful and diverse group of people with a special connection.

Why we like it: Science fiction has the power to break storytelling boundaries whenever and however its creators see fit. Sense8 did that in all the ways that matter. This diverse, LGBTQ-inclusive story of "sensates" (people emotionally and psychologically linked to one another) reimagined the boundaries of human connection and made countless viewers feel seen. With just two seasons, fans could never get enough of Sense8, but at least Netflix made good on that finale — delivering a lasting legacy to streaming-kind. —A.F.*

Where to watch: Sense8 is streaming on Netflix.

11. Steven Universe

Best LGBTQ TV shows to watch this Pride Credit: Cartoon Network

What it is: An animated series about a half-gem, half-human boy being raised by the Crystal Gems, the last remnants of an alien rebellion that saved the world hundreds of years ago. 

Why we like it: Steven Universe is a seamlessly progressive and wholesome show that uses its characters and framing to casually interrogate gender and sexuality while telling a story about love, family, and growing up. From the all-female Crystal Gems' queerplatonic and romantic relationships to Steven's comfort with exploring his own gender expression, Steven Universe makes highlighting the vast and beautiful spectrum of queer love look easy. —A.N.

Where to watch: Steven Universe is streaming on HBO Max and Hulu.

12. Orange Is the New Black

What it is: A dramedy about women incarcerated at the fictitious Litchfield Penitentiary.

Why we like it: Created by Jenji Kohan, Orange Is the New Black did as much for diversity behind the camera as it did for diversity in front of it. This award-winning series, partially based on a memoir of the same name, began as a character study of a privileged bisexual woman serving a short sentence in a minimum-security prison. But the series soon fanned out to include important meditations on Black Lives Matter, immigration, trans rights, and more. That these stories were told with authentic voices in the director’s chair and writers' room makes them all the more special.

Where to watch: Orange Is the New Black is streaming on Netflix.

13. Euphoria

What it is: A drama about teenagers growing up in modern California.

Why we like it: Not for the faint of heart, Sam Levinson's Euphoria takes the teen drama to terrifying new heights. Starring Zendaya as a young addict and Hunter Schafer as her just-as-troubled love interest, this neon-soaked series profiles the increasingly strange world in which children grow up. Equal parts glitter and grit, this sprawling narrative encompasses numerous LGBTQ plotlines, as well as more personal stories of sexual self-discovery. Supporting performances by Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Sydney Sweeney, Angus Cloud, and more make it a must-watch. — A.F.

Where to watch: Euphoria is streaming on HBO Max.

14. Harley Quinn

The Joker threatens Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn.
Credit: HBO Max

What it is: An animated Batman spinoff series that follows Gotham City's Harley Quinn as she re-evaluates her life following a cataclysmic break-up with Joker.

Why we like it: Harley Quinn is a show with hidden delights. Kaley Cuoco anchors the whole thing as Harley herself, but her main crew — Poison Ivy (Lake Bell), Clayface (Alan Tudyk), Doctor Psycho (Tony Hale), King Shark (Ron Funches), Sy Borgman (Jason Alexander), and Frank the Plant (J.B. Smoove) — is where we find the show's heart. Constantly surprising viewers with complex, nuanced considerations of life and love while also delivering gigantic laughs, Harley Quinn's combo of wild plot twists, tender handling of queer relationships, and riotously hilarious send-ups of the classic Batman rogue's gallery easily make it one of the best things you can watch on HBO Max right now. —Adam Rosenberg, Senior Entertainment Reporter

Where to watch: Harley Quinn is streaming on HBO Max.

15. We're Here

Three drag queens strike a pose

What it is: A reality makeover show where members of a small town's queer community are transformed into drag performers.

Why we like it: We're Here showcases the often untold stories of queer people living in rural towns across America, using drag to amplify their voices and proudly assert their presence in places where they aren't always accepted. It's a heartfelt celebration of self-expression and community, and it makes it clear that drag is for everyone, no matter your gender. To top it all off, hosts Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O'Hara, and Shangela Laquifa Wadley put on a phenomenal drag show at the end of every episode. What's not to love? —B.E.

Where to watch: We're Here is streaming on HBO Max.

16. Grace & Frankie

What it is: A sitcom about two gay men, their ex-wives, and their children.

Why we like it: The world is a better place because of Grace & Frankie. This beloved Netflix sitcom came into our lives in spring 2015 and has provided a sparkling well of comfort viewing ever since. Sam Waterston and Martin Sheen star as a closeted couple in their '70s who, after years of hiding, decide to come out. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda play the pair's burned ex-wives, whose journey of self-acceptance and friendship anchors the rest of the series. Unceasingly heartwarming, Grace & Frankie has spurred important conversations across generations, imbuing what could have been a stale story with progressive ideology and genuine love. —A.F.

Where to watch: Grace & Frankie is streaming on Netflix.

17. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts

Children on a landscape of post-apocalypse.

What it is: An animated series about an optimistic young girl braving the dangers of a post-apocalyptic Earth overrun with mutated animals.

Why we love it: It's not often that you hear a character say "I'm gay" in an animated show aimed at younger audiences, but that's exactly what happens in Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. Early in the show's first season, Benson, one of the series' leads, comes out to Kipo in a remarkably sweet scene. His later romance with another human survivor is equally lovely, as is the show's embrace of queerness. Plus, this series has gorgeous animation, a killer soundtrack, and frogs who wear snazzy suits. Why aren't you watching, already? —Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Where to watch: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is streaming on Netflix.

18. Pose

Best LGBTQ TV shows Credit: FX

What it is: A drama set in New York City's ballroom scene of the 1980s.

Why we like it: Because Pose focuses on the Black and Latino LGBTQ community in the middle of the HIV/AIDS crisis, every single character has reason to believe that their world is ending.

For some of them, the world does end. But in the middle of their crisis, which was exacerbated by a lack of government response and social rejection by the medical establishment, the men and women of Pose find time to form families, experience joy, dress up, sing songs, and generate unyielding beauty amongst themselves and the people they care about. Pose is hopeful because its characters are hopeful, and their example is always a shining one. —A.N.*

Where to watch: Pose Seasons 1-3 are streaming on Hulu.

19. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

She-Ra and her friends ready for a fight.
Best LGBTQ shows to watch this Pride Credit: Netflix

What it is: A reboot of the popular '80s cartoon She-Ra: Princess of Power.

Why we like it: Who knew a reboot of an animated show from 1985 would end up so unabashedly queer? Winner of the 2021 GLAAD Award for outstanding kids programming, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power reintroduces audiences to Adora (Aimee Carrero), a powerful teenage warrior capable of saving life on planet Etheria. Across five seasons, viewers watch as Adora takes on the Horde, an evil army of which her best friend Catra (AJ Michalka) is a part. An action-packed adventure with gender fluidity applied across the board, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is the kind of show so many LGBTQ adults wish they'd had growing up. —A.F.

Where to watch: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is streaming on Netflix.

20. She's Gotta Have It

What it is: A dramedy series from Spike Lee about an ambitious New York City artist.

Why we like it: Based on Lee's 1986 movie of the same name, She's Gotta Have It lives up to its ferocious title. DeWanda Wise stars as Nola Darling, a Black queer woman living her life with effervescence and tenacity. It's not perfect, but it is very fun — and contributes substantively and positively to the onscreen representation of women in non-monogamous relationships. —A.F.*

Where to watch: She's Gotta Have It is streaming on Netflix.

21. Peacemaker

John Cena is the Peacemaker.

What is it: John Cena's oxymoronic villain from 2021's The Suicide Squad gets a spinoff series wherein peace is rarely the answer.

Why we like it: Superhero movies aren't known for nuanced critiques of hypermasculinity, which isn't always a bad thing. (Sometimes you just want to watch a dumb hunk fight a bunch of baddies). Peacemaker's protagonist, however, is a villain to his peers. The cognitive dissonance between Christopher Smith's unhinged savior complex and his insisting that his racist, abusive, and traumatizing upbringing forged him into a great American hero is a fascinating example of using television to extend on-screen universes. Throw in John Cena's delicate performance as an out bisexual supervillain trying to make good; Freddie Stroma performing acutely romantic worship as Peacemaker's sidekick, Vigilante; and Danielle Brooks leading as the queer daughter of a big-time DC movie character (to say who is a spoiler) — you've got a show that every superhero fan needs to see. As long as they're over 18 and don't mind heads exploding all over the place.—A.N.

Where to watch: Peacemaker is streaming on HBO Max.

22. Feel Good

What it is: A British dramedy about a lesbian romance.

Why we like it: At the heart of Feel Good is the painfully intimate relationship of Mae and George, played by Mae Martin and Charlotte Ritchie. The two-season series started in the UK on Channel 4, but was later picked up by Netflix, bringing these characters' charming romance to the global stage. You'll fall in love with their warmth as well as imperfections, relating to them about universal themes of shame, acceptance, and fear against a backdrop of whip-smart dialogue and beautiful acting. —A.F.

Where to watch: Feel Good is streaming on Netflix.

23. Dear White People

What it is: A dramedy chronicling the lives of Black students at an elite college.

Why we like it: Based on the 2014 film of the same name, Dear White People explores issues of social justice through the lives of Black students at Winchester University. It's a well-to-do undergraduate school that doubles as the perfect backdrop for the series' biting satire, which takes aim at everything from racial inequality to sexual assault. As a matter of queer representation, Dear White People broke barriers by including multiple Black LGBTQ characters in its main cast and following up with authentic storylines that are just as praise-worthy. —A.F.

Where to watch: Dear White People is streaming on Netflix.

24. Generation

Three young piece hang out

What it is: A teen drama about identity and sexuality in 2021.

Why we like it: From uneven pacing to clunky scripting, HBO Max’s new series Generation is hugely imperfect as a series. Still, there’s no denying the show has dazzling elements with shining LGBTQ representation. For one thing, the lead performance of Justice Smith as an out-and-proud gay jock named Chester is ridiculously watchable. What’s more, the lesbian romance between characters played by Haley Sanchez and Chase Sui Wonders is straight-up swoon-worthy. Enjoy this one for what it does well, especially since we don’t know about a Season 2 yet. —A.F.

Where to watch: Generation is streaming on HBO Max.

25. Sex Education

What it is: A YA dramedy about the students of Moordale Secondary School.

Why we like it: When it comes to onscreen sex and relationships, Sex Education provides critical representation across the board. Created by Laurie Nunn, this coming-of-age Netflix dramedy centers on students at a UK secondary school struggling to understand their emerging identities. This show depicts not just homosexual and heterosexual relationships well, but also considers asexuality with care and grace. Stars Asa Butterfield, Ncuti Gatwa, and Emma Mackey are instantly likable, with their magnetic performances backed by a diverse cast of uniquely relatable characters. —A.F.

Where to watch: Sex Education is streaming on Netflix.

26. Elite

What it is: A Spanish-language thriller following the students of Las Encinas.

Why we like it: Elite has a massive fanbase scattered across the globe, but if you're an English speaker, it's possible you haven’t watched the Spanish series yet. You should absolutely right that wrong this Pride Month. Full of LGBTQ relationships you'll want to root for, Elite is as inclusive and sex positive as it is soapy and ridiculous. Come for the promise of solid LGBTQ and polyamorous representation, stay for the ludicrous drama you will binge from start to finish. —A.F.

Where to watch: Elite is streaming on Netflix.

27. Queer Eye

What it is: A reality makeover series rebooting the popular Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Why we like it: Since premiering their show in 2018, Tan France, Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Jonathan Van Ness, and Antoni Porowski have become internationally recognized gurus of lifestyle improvement. Rebooting a concept first done by Bravo in the early aughts, this new Fab Five offers modern viewers their expertise in areas ranging from cooking to grooming, along with their insight into what sometimes holds us back from living our best lives. Queer Eye isn't a perfect show by any means, but its feel-good vibes and positive fanbase make it one we'll always come back to. —A.F.

Where to watch: Queer Eye is streaming on Netflix.

28. Work in Progress

A person looks put out
Best LGBTQ TV Shows Credit: Showtime

What it is: A comedy about a queer woman struggling with mental health.

Why we like it: In her semi-autobiographical comedy, Abby McEnany plays herself at her lowest point. Convinced she's responsible for killing her therapist, Abby begins a painful journey of self-reflection that leads her to conclude her life isn't worth living. But when a handsome trans man, played by Theo Germaine, enters her life, an uproariously funny and uplifting chain of events occurs. You'll love the honest advice this series gives about finding reasons to get up everyday. —A.F.

Where to watch: Work In Progress is streaming on Showtime.
