‘Tales of the City’, which is both brilliant and eccentric, had a team of queer writers dedicated to show that not every queer individual’s journey is the same, just like not every cis/het person’s journey is same. The leading cast included Laura Linney as Mary Ann Singleton and Olympia Dukakis as Mrs Madrigal, who were also part of the 90s cast, along with Elliot Page as Shawna Hawkins, Paul Gross as Brian Hawkins, Murray Bartlet as Micheal ‘Mouse’ Tolliver, Charlie Bennet as Ben Marshall, Garcia as Jake Rodriguez and May Hong as Margot Park. Tales Of The City: Celebrating Being Queerīased on one of Armistead Maupin’s ‘Tales of the City’ book, this Netflix show is loosely inspired by the final three books and is a sequel to the original TV adaptations of the 90s.
