closet-keys:

cool ideas for gritty realistic television series that don’t involve racist and/or misogynist torture porn or involve dystopian futures or “alternate history where nazis/slave owners won” or involve thematic justification of eugenics through protagonists leaving disabled & injured community members to die: 

• “robin hood” heist thriller set in present day about anticapitalist militants taking down capitalists and redistributing material resources, and how individual families benefit
• following one chosen family of urban disabled & neurodiverse LGBTQ folks as they navigate communal care in a post-revolution world marred by the effects of climate change and disaster, gradually building a solarpunk utopia that will accommodate everyone’s needs 
• following the folks in a local anarchist agricultural community post-communist revolution and how they navigate taking care of each other and unlearning capitalist socialization while simultaneously trying to teach better values to their children
• following the romantic and broader interpersonal life of an indigenous person outside Western settler gender and sexuality systems after complete trans liberation and decolonization 
• following a historian studying the pre-revolution, pre-climate disaster world, with each episode focusing on a single pivotal moment. the series as a whole provides a dramatized template to viewers of how a sustainable communist global community can be built from the ashes of a dying world.
