Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Less Appalachian-horror and more intergenerational blood fueds - transcestors and kind of coming-of-age?? Really moving. If you're looking for representation of autism, trans masc coming-out, unapologetically fat, non-binary friends, aromantic discovery... you'll find that here. Mind the content warnings.
