Farscape! I haven't seen it since I was barely even a teenager. I loved the show and it meant a lot to me, but there are a lot of years between then and now so I've forgotten a lot. I've been shocked by how outrageously, flamingly queer it has been. Not like the unacknowledged, and often unintentional, homoeroticism of most genre shows of this era but gay sex only half way into the first season.
The show is just pretty great in general too, I love the Henson puppets and aliens so much. Ben Browder is a great lead with a ton of charisma. Just be warned if there are any topics you'd want to avoid, the show would have a fairly long list of content warnings. It can be very dark and not everything has aged perfectly.
Farscape basically asked, "What if our attitudes toward sex are specific to us and the rest of the galaxy shamelessly gets their freak on?" So you've got a primary antagonist in a gimp suit, one of the crewmembers masturbating on the observation deck with sunlight (on screen, no less), Chiana trying to frell anything with mivonks, and damn near every bar in the galaxy being some sort of BDSM club.
Well it's good that they asked. Western sexual attitudes are so repressed it's disheartening.
You only get one go at life: why the fuck is everyone at home alone watching TV?
I literally just started that again last night!

I love Browder and loved all the Henson aliens. The “oh the dad is gone so I’ll hop on the son” story bit is fucking gross and soured the show a bit for me.
