Anna Madrigal (Tales of the City) is the most character. She's trans in the 1970s. She's the kind of landlady that hates most landlords and dotes on her tenants like her children. She grows weed and gives a baggie to every new tenant and smokes with them in her parlor with fancy snacks. She dresses in gorgeous clothes. She's was raised in a brothel. She's a rock for her queer San Francisco community and someone they can always go to for help. She helps snoopy sheltered Ohio straight girls achieve sexual liberation, keeps gay boys out of too much trouble, and falls in reciprocated love with straight men. She makes sure bad people get what's coming to them but fuckups get another chance.

Armistead Maupin really hit it out of the park with her. Still can't believe this story was first printed in the newspaper. And Olympia Dukakis was so great in the role for television. We can look back now and say a trans actor would be better, but in 1993 they were totally shut out of the industry and I'm grateful they didn't cast a man like everyone else did at the time.

#13 Tales of the City (2019)

Plot: About 20 years since we last saw her, Mary Ann Singleton returns to Barbary Lane for Anna Madrigal's 90th borthday. Though it feels like coming home, it's not as easy as to just step in and be loved by all. While Mary Ann tries to reclaim the trust of the people she left, Anna struggles with dark shadows of the past that comes back to haunt her. It's time to tell the family what happened.

Years: 2019

Seasons: 1

My story: I've never heard about the original series or Armistead Maupin's books until I stumbled upon this series at Netflix around release. It fast became one of my all time favourites and taught me some very important queer history. Parts of it still makes me cry. It's one of my go-to comfort series.

Teachable moments: This is a natural and sophisticated depiction of queer everyday life. More than anything it shows the meaning and importance of chosen families.

Best character: Anna is a 90 years old transgender with her own home and chosen family in the middle of San Francisco. She've done what many haven't, not only did she survive, she also build a life for herself. Watching the series we know it wasn't all on good grounds, but it really pushes us to reflect on morality, ethics and doing what you have to in a very hard situation. Can we really judge Anna for what she did?

Best episode: "Days of small surrenders" (E8). Whenever I start another rewatch, I long for this episode. It's the most important episode and it's so beutifuly made. I'm really dragged into the story and it's like I'm walking side by side with Anna in the 60's.

Best quote: -"We're sitting on top of layers and layers of queer people sediment.." -"Of years" -"No, decades" -"And you know like every minute 30 000 dead skincells shed of a person and seep into their living space, that's like 1.8 milion an hour. So this place is probably more Anna and Michael, than Anna and Michael are." -"Wow" (Ani and Raven)

Fun fact: Three actors reprise their roles through all installments of Tales; Laury Linney as Mary Ann Singleton, Olympia Dukakis as Anna Madrigal and Barbara Garrick as DeDe Halcyon. Paul Gross plays Brian Hawkins in the first installment in 1993, but doesn't return to the role until the 2019 revival. In the other two, Brian is played by Whip Hubley.

If you like this you might also like: The 2019 Tales of the City is the revival of three earlier installments; Tales of the City (1993), More Tales of the City (1998) and Further Tales of the City (2001-2002), which are adaptations of Armistead Maupin's books (9 in total). You don't have too see the earlier ones to understand the revival, but it helps to understand the story even further. Others you might like are Looking, Queer as folk, Hollywood and Glamorous.
