Netflix released the highly anticipated season two of the high school drama XO, Kitty, and if you’re like us you’ve probably already binge-watched it. The All The Boys I Loved spin-off follows Kitty as she navigates her new high school in South Korea whilst also grappling with her newfound attraction to women.
While bi representation is becoming more and more accessible on screen, it still can be pretty time-consuming to dig through recommended lists. So here are four shows you should try out if you enjoyed XO, Kitty.
Everything Sucks!
Everything Sucks! is a quirky, nostalgic dramedy that dives into the awkwardness of 1990s high school life, complete with love triangles, camcorder chaos, and a heartfelt exploration of identity. Starring Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney, playing the bisexual character Emaline Addario, the show has been praised for its raw and heartwarming depiction of LGBTQIA identity. Like XO, Kitty, Everything Sucks! centres around the experiences of young queer women who are trying to navigate and understand their emotions.
The Bisexual
If you want something geared towards an older audience, why not try out The Bisexual? This groundbreaking show has been praised for its witty and candid depiction of a bisexual woman in her twenties. Following Leila, the show watches her navigate social expectations and different relationships. The Bisexual offers a detailed look into the nuances of bisexuality and challenges stereotypes.
Degrassi: Next Class
Looking for an LGBTQIA classic? You have to check out Degrassi: Next Class. The show has been providing LGBTQIA representation since 2001, and this teen drama continues to deliver. There are a number of bisexual characters in the show such as Paige and Imogen who serve as examples of great bi rep. In fact, Paige is often referred to as the “bisexual queen of Degrassi”!
Sex Education
While most of you have probably already seen this hit Netflix show, it’s worth a rewatch every single time. Sex Education brought us LGBTQIA representation by the bucketload when it first appeared on our screens. In particular, Ola and Adam showed bisexuality in a way that felt not only accurate but also joyful.
