SHADOW HUNTERS (NOT EXACTLY A BL, BUT GOD! I LOVE MALEC)

I have seen many Malec edits and wanted to check it out but I tried watching a couple episodes of the first season and couldn't get into. Is the show overall good or does it get better?

Well, I didn't really like the further seasons, but the MALEC storyline definitely got better. In my opinion, they became the show's best couple by the end of the 3/4 seasons.

Malec is my OTP! I have spent a lot of time reading & watching Shadow Hunters content just for my fix of Malec.

Oh yaay!

I randomly came across the clip of the wedding from the first season, and then binged the entire series just to watch the MALEC scenes. Now I just skip ahead to watch their scenes because of how often I watch them, and I don't have the strength to binge everything, LoL.

Here are my favorite Western BL Shows/Movies :) 

TV SHOWS:
Queer As Folk (this show I think was one of the first shows featuring gay characters that I watched in my life… it was like an awakening to me)
Pose (love the gay representation in this one and the focus on ball culture)
Six Feet Under (HAS ONE OF THE BEST GAY COUPLES EVER ON TV!!!)
Shameless (IAN AND MICKEY WILL ALWAYS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART)
Heartstopper (A NEW FAVORITE!!!)

MOVIES:
The Way He Looks (cute upon cute!!!)
Moonlight (my favorite out of this list… I have re-watched it many times now and the movie still hits me in my heart every single time)
God’s Own Country (it has that Brokeback Mountain feel but it has a better ending)
Shelter (this one is an underrated GEM!!!)
Being 17 (I found this one randomly and I LOVED IT!!!)
Beautiful Thing (one of the first gay films I watched so it’s a special one for me)

The show is not great overall, but I had to watch it for the Malec storyline. That was the best part of the whole experience. Now I stick with Malec edits.

There is also a movie that was released before the show. It really messes up a lot of the story from the books so I think that is why they canceled future movies and later made the show. But the beginning of Malec is pretty great and the movie isn't terrible if you don't try to compare it to the book series.

I definitely can't watch that whole series again. I only go back for Malec!

I'm currently binging Heartstopper and absolutely loving it. t's been a while since I was in high school, to be honest, but every once in a while I love a good high school love story.

It's such a good show I really loved it you should definitely give it a chance if you don't like it you can always just skip to the Malec parts one of my favourite scenes is when Magnus gets jealous it's so cute they are one of my favourite couples
