Representations:
- It goes 'Beyond the binary'- Characters move beyond simply good or bad. E.g. Hopper and Steve are more complex although they aren't as main. Screen time is quite equal.
- Novelistic - multiple story lines and characters that stretch over a number of episodes & seasons
- May see flashbacks that explain their backgrounds
- Systemic change - isn't just focused on one individual
- 'Communities facing challenges and dealing with them by embracing or rejecting their own diversity' - Jeff Gomez.
