April has arrived, and with it, a whole bunch of new (and archival) content on Netflix. We’ve done a quick overview of the queerest and queer-adjacent stuff we’re looking forward to streaming this month. (For a comprehensive list of what’s coming to the platform, go here.) Now, prepare to set your watch lists…

Finally the reunion of 9 to 5 on Grace and Frankie! I have been waiting for this for months since they went on hiatus!

I think you mean Charlie Barnett not Charlie Bennett.

I was too old to care about Abercrombie back in the day. The only thing I remember about it was the nasty smell coming out of their store in the mall, plus I couldn’t understand how anyone could carry around a shopping bag with naked boys on it but it, never bothered me. I must have missed all the lawsuits and the mess surrounding it so I think I’ll watch this documentary. I mean, are they still around?

I was in college during the A&F fad. Everywhere you went you would smell that awful cologne called Woods or something like that. Funny enough I went to a vintage clothing store that was actually selling it. So, I am not old, I am vintage.

I have watched the first 4 seasons of Elite, three times over the past year or so. I am really looking forward to Season 5. Didn’t really like the way Omar was treated in Season 4 when his BF left town. I would rather Omar find someone new, but I’m probably out voted!!

The Omar thing pissed me off so much that I stopped watching season four. I do plan to finish it, but no, you are not alone in feeling that way.

The first season of Elite was just so-so. I waited a long time before watching Season 2 and I am so glad I came back. Seasons 2, 3 and 4 are all quite good and quite gay.
