Films about women-loving women have come a long way. If before they were taboo, or else strictly told through the male gaze, now they're near-ubiquitous, with queer folk increasingly reclaiming and telling stories of their own. The result is a colorful tapestry of cinema that gives us a look into how rich and enduring this specific gay experience is.

The good news is apart from being prevalent and critically acclaimed, a lot of these movies are accessible too, with many being available to stream on Netflix. The service surprisingly has a good number of quality lesbian films, so from intimate documentaries like A Secret Love to powerhouse dramas like Carol to romantic comedies like The Half Of It,  you're sure to find something to love in their catalog. We list the very best and most worthwhile of them below. 

 

It's 2023, and representation has never been more diverse and abundant in cinema. This year alone, we've seen tropes be subverted (as in Cassandro, the story of the first out wrestler) and genres reimagined (as in the lesbian horror film Bad Things). The fluidity of love is examined painfully in Ira Sachs' Passages, while longing has never felt more tender in the much-celebrated All of Us Strangers. And more optimistically, comedies like Bottoms and Red, White & Royal Blue offer a light-hearted take on the unique LGBTQ+ experience. This is all to say that we're spoiled for choice, so in this list, we try to narrow down your options to only the best the year has to offer so far. Below is a hopefully helpful guide on the very best queer films of 2023 and where you can stream them right now. 

As one of the more accessible live TV streaming platforms out there, Sling TV doesn't seem to run out of deals. It may be joining other services in upping its monthly prices, but Sling makes up for it with all sorts of discounts and free trials, like the ones we've listed below. The current deals include Sling TV slashing the prices of its plans in half and bundling in NBA League Passess with significant markdowns. In this regularly updated article, we're gathering the best Sling TV deals available right now to help you cut down on unnecessary costs. 

These days, VPN and internet usage go hand in hand. As hackers, phishing scams, and data breaches get more aggressive, it only seems reasonable to protect yourself with a VPN, which encrypts traffic and hides IP addresses. And if you're easily bored with what Netflix and other streaming services have to offer, it doesn't hurt that a VPN allows you to visit other countries' content libraries. For instance, the beloved series FRIENDS may have left Netflix for Max in the US, but it's still a streamable Netflix property in many parts of the world, including the UK, Australia, and India. And even though Hulu isn't available outside of the US, you can use a VPN to continue using your account even if you're away from home. 

VPNs are so ubiquitous, in fact, that there are so many—perhaps too many—options out there. To help you choose the best fit for you, we gathered the best VPN deals and discounts that are available right now. Some of these are available for a limited time only, so make sure you check them out while they last.

Streaming services have no business being as expensive as they are now, but as prices continue to skyrocket, we thought it was worthwhile to look at phone and streaming bundles that are available right now. As it turns out, most mobile carriers throw in a free subscription to major streaming services depending on which plan you choose. In fact, you might already be eligible for one of these bundles without knowing. 

Since it's in the process of launching its new +play platform, Verizon currently offers the most bundles out of all the carriers. T-Mobile is also worth shouting out thanks to its longstanding Netflix on Us bundle, while Cricket's Max bundle is a lifesaver for former AT&T customers who lost their Max subscriptions. 

You can read more about the mobile plans and the bundles they offer in our guide below.

If you're not one to subscribe to streaming services and would rather pay a one-time fee for something you really like, then you probably want to know what's available to rent right now. Along with Amazon and Vudu, your best bet at finding the newest shows is on iTunes. Though they helpfully line up their bestsellers and categorize titles, we're here to let you know which among the 2023 releases are truly worth tuning into. 

Below you will find our recommendations for the best shows of 2023 on iTunes. These recommendations are all highly rated by viewers and acclaimed by critics. They were also watched and vouched for by one of our writers.

Ever since HBO came out with dramas like The Sopranos and Sex and the City in the early aughts, it firmly established itself as the channel to watch for prestige drama. Decades later, with its streaming iteration Max, it continues to produce TV shows that enjoy the sort of explicit, unrestricted creative freedom you won't normally see in network contemporaries. That could be why HBO shows like Game of Thrones and The White Lotus are the major successes that they are now. 

Max subscribers can always rewatch these titles, but if you're looking for newer and fresher titles, we gathered the best 2023 TV shows you can stream right now over at Max.

It's almost always true that you get what you pay for. In the world of live TV, that means the most expensive streaming services are also the most comprehensive packages. With prices that range from $70 to $105, the services below all have local channels, live channels, and on-demand content that cover sports, news, and entertainment. They also have cloud DVR storage—unlimited, in the case of YouTube TV—and multiple screens for big households—unlimited, this time in the case of DirecTV Stream. 

There are slight variations when it comes to who they're best for. For example, Fubo Elite is best suited for sports fans, while Hulu with Live TV is best for families with young ones. DirecTV Ultimate, as the most expensive, is best for both sports- and family-oriented viewers. All, however, are made for those who want it all in one neat package.Whatever it is you're looking for, you can read more about the most complete live TV streaming services in our list below.

Most of the Grand Slam tournaments air on ESPN (NBC has rights to the French Open) while a lot of other events tennis fans look forward to, like the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup air on the dedicated Tennis Channel. So if you were to cut the cord, what service would you go for? In this list, we round up your best choices. All-around services like DirecTV Stream Ultimate and Fubo will be worth their price if you're a hardcore sports fans, in general, since they carry all these channels and more, no add-ons needed. But if you're on a tighter budget, Sling Orange is nearly half the price of comprehensive live TV streaming services while offering ESPN and, if you're in a serviceable state, local channels like NBC. The Tennis Channel comes with NFL Redzone, among others, if get the Sling Sports add-on. You can read all about the best services to watch tennis sans cable in the list below.
