Churails anon, there is actually a teeny tiny bit of wlw. It’s definitely implied the two women are a couple, they’re just in the background. There’s also a trans character, played by an actual trans woman! They treat her with so much respect and love, it’s wonderful. There’s also a gay storyline, well I don’t want to spoil it. I’m on episode 6 so who knows, everything might blow up by the end lmao

And…another anon? I can’t tell, I didn’t think I’d have two anons telling me about this show but your typing patterns are quite different and this one didn’t identify themselves, also y’all have differing points of view on the gay storyline:

hey the show churails does have a middle aged lesbian couple in it! tho nothing explicit their love is talked about and known to everyone within the group and it also has an ep about a closeted gay man and *****spoilers***** the ending of that sl is a rather violent one

Oh, that’s so interesting about the actual wlw… I feel like, for my years in Pakistan, in the circles I’ve lived in, it would never be discussed, let alone approved of. And yet, actually existing in media! Wild. Sucks about the gay man, though. :/

Trans people…that’s always been somewhat odd, right, like, you see some living so openly and in a way, they’re tolerated, but like, so othered and kept apart, and only tolerated because of that distance. But maybe I don’t have the full picture, I lived such a sheltered, transient life there, I didn’t participate in and pick up on so much. 😮 I’m waiting to watch when I’m more in the mood for something this, well, heavy, but I do definitely have it on the list.

Have you seen the show Churails? I’ve watched the first 3 episodes and I’m really enjoying it. The topics they’ve covered so far are pretty intense but I think they’re doing a good job in not making them unbearable to watch.

I honestly hadn’t even heard of it? Wow…I’ve never seen anything like this from Pakistan, they tend to go so deliberately for the full-blown drama. This is so slick and like…hmm. Obviously they won’t have any gay, right? I’m assuming that going in, lol, which, *sigh*, but yeah, I’m interested! Thanks for the heads up.
