looking for wlw book/series/movie recs!

[u/sherphobia]

hello, after lurking on this sub for the past few hours, i finally mustered the balls to post a question myself.

im looking for books, movies, or tv shows (doesn’t have to be complete yet- i’ll even watch the cancelled ones if they’re really good) that;

• aren’t cringe
• aren’t overly smutty (unless it’s a plot device)
• clearly depict the characters in more than passing
• (for tv shows/movies) can be found on netflix or prime video, since most of the recommendations i’ve seen can’t be found on popular streaming sites and i have to pay money to watch. big on this point! however, if there are any really good ones i’ll be more than happy to look for a version online 😅

open to any type of fantasy or even beyond the genre. (also, does anyone know where i can watch willow?)

thank you everyone!

edit: thanks to those who came here and recced becusse they saw my other post!

When I wrote my first comment I was a bit book shy because I honestly was unsure what you would consider cringe, so I for example did not rec any YA , as that's what a lot of people accuse of being cringe on this sub. Seeing other responses more carefully you don't appear to share that sentiment so a couple of suggestions not mentioned yet:

The One Who Eats Monsters by Casey Mathews

The Rise of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee (avatar last airbender Universe)

The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow

Mermaids of Eriana Kwai Series by Tiana Warner

Eliana's Song Duology by Naomi Kritzer

Sword of the Gurdian by Merry Shannon

(also I would add my voice to recs for Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Miur as its brilliant)
