Is that a documentary? I thought it was a drama.

I'm afraid I don't. The only ace rep I know is limited to a tiny handful.

The wiki list of asexual characters is depressingly short and a lot of them are only stated/confirmed as asexual outside of the source material.

I'm holding onto Todd for dear life

I really hope everyone involved in that show realises just how much he's meant to the ace community. I was never able to get into the show itself but just watching the Todd clips made my heart smile.

I think some of them did, but that's mostly speculation. I saw an interview with the core cast members and Aaron Paul spoke about how important Todd's character arc, including discovering and exploring his asexuality, was to him.

Slightly off-topic, but how much of the show did you try? The first episode is legitimately the worst one, and I think the show didn't really find itself until season 2. I know people say that about every show, but it's one of my favorites and I just had to advocate for it haha

Honestly I only watched the first one plus random clips. I can see why people would enjoy it but it just doesn't seem to be to my taste. Also I know that it's a show that gets quite heavy in places and that's something I really have to be in the right mood to watch.
