    This seems unlikely considering the massive number of popular teen romance shows happening, such as Heartstopper. It’s just that any sex scenes need to have actual depth behind them when they happen, not just random sex out of nowhere.

      I’d be a sucker for meaningful queer sex and romance that actually looks and feels as it does in real life. I just rarely even really relate to the on-screen happenings for most.

      Or, hell, even some good and sensual BDSM type play would be probably very welcome. I don’t know if I’ve seen any of that yet.

        There’s some BDSM dom/sub kinda stuff in Billions. At least in the first few season, tapered off in the later seasons because of story developments. But it even had a place in the story since the character was a public figure and didn’t want it to be public knowledge.

      Yeah I wouldn’t even agree with the depth, it’s not like all the braindead yet-another-american-high-school-dramas with no substance ever went anywhere, no plot, no nothing, just the same regurgitated melodrama and idiocy dressed for yet another generation. Even shows that would be actually great apparently need to have some bullshit drama and gratuitous sex in it for absolutely no reason at all.
