6. Josh and Arnold — Please Like Me
Josh had to go through a few relationships to find out that he needed to be single, and, sadly, his relationship with Arnold was one of them. This Australian show Please Like Me is comedic, but it also discusses the hardships of adulthood and finding yourself.

This couple has been blowing up in the LGBTQ+ community. The Wilds is a new show on Amazon Prime, and it does a good job of showing the troublesome relationship between religion and coming out. We want more!

Mae's journey toward sobriety takes a bit of a detour as she starts a new relationship with George. Feel Good fast-forwards through their honeymoon phase and focuses on the realistic challenges they face.
10. Theo and Trish — The Haunting of Hill House
Despite the darkness in Theo's history and her emotional unavailability, she can't stop returning to Trish. The Haunting of Hill House doesn't make a big deal of her sexuality and her coming out "story" is iconic.
11. Frankie and Bianca — Workin' Moms

15. Fabiola and Eve — Never Have I Ever
The support Fabiola receives from her friends when she comes out is ideal. Once she comes to terms with her sexuality in Never Have I Ever, Fabiola finds her first crush Eve, and they hit it off.
