Elliott, Orianne (MW) Work In Progress
Work In Progress, created and produced by Tim Mason and Abby McEnany, who is also the star of the show, was produced by showtime and released in 2019. It follows stand up comedian Abby, who calls herself a "fat, queer dyke" and her struggle with mental illnesses like OCD and depression. She plans to kill herself in 180 days, tracking each day by throwing away an almond until there are none left. However, she meets and starts dating a trans man, Chris, who is played by Theo Germaine, (also seen in Netflix's The Politician) and he gives her a new lease on life. This show has great representation for the LGBTQ+ community, and hits on topics that aren't talked about often but in a light-hearted, comedic way.
