A succession of intimate stories follows people making choices about desire, family and the lives they want to lead. Within the anthology, Sian and Violet discover that attraction does not erase their different temperaments or the influence of a protective parent. Elsewhere, Amy’s anticipation of a date with Kay becomes a struggle with thoughts that threaten to overwhelm the evening. These women occupy the center of their own episodes rather than serving as background to somebody else’s romance. The British series moves across a wider LGBTQ ensemble, so its sapphic stories are best approached through the specific installments that give them space, humor and emotional consequences.
