Best gay-themed TV series
Carved out of a previous list containing both TV series *and* films. Have not sought to distinguish between BL vs. LGBT series -- the only requirement is the existence of a substantial same-sex romance or relationship.

7. 180 Degrees Longitude Between Us
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Mainly the first two and the last episodes. It gets very ponderous and dull in the middle. But it is also perhaps the only Thai show I did not watch at 1.5x speed. The final episode is brilliant.
