June, The Month of Love
Written by Kája
June is the month of Pride. We celebrate love, equality and happiness. This month I've looked at TV series about love and the LGBTQ+ community. It's important to know that two people can love each other no matter what gender they are. These shows are about romance, equality and of course about love. They are great for people who love TV that is heartfelt and witty.
Grand Army
Grand Army is a drama TV series based on a true story about five students who study in public high school in Brooklyn. As they go through high school they struggle with cultural racism, sexual identity and bullying. They start to know themselves better and set their new priorities. The tough ones are going to get through it but what about the weaker ones?
I would say that Grand Army is very similar to Euphoria but more realistic - for example In Euphoria they have beautiful makeup and ‘glittery’ scenes, while Grand Army is more normal and believable.

Special
Special is about Ryan, a gay man with cerebral palsy and a life crisis. He lives a bleak life and is scared of verbal communication with his peers. He decides to completely turn his life around by handling adult responsibilities, taking risks and starting to live the life he has dreamt of. This comedy is executive produced by (Ryan) O'Connell who is known for creating The Big Bang Theory. I love this TV series because it shows development and gratitude while being entertaining and fun.

Euphoria
And for HBO viewers I can recommend another phenomenal TV series called Euphoria. It's currently a one-series TV show but the second one is coming soon! Great actors can be seen here, like Zendaya and Jacob Elordi who starred in Kissing Booth.
Euphoria is about a group of teenagers who are all different but share one thing in common - love. Everybody wants it! On this journey many characters explore their sexuality, with some of them facing real-life obstacles like homophobia. I haven't watched this TV series myself yet, but I have heard some great reviews. This show can also be interesting for makeup lovers, there are some great scenes with remarkable makeup work.
