you mean aside from the 8 the OP mentioned? When We Rise, Runaways, Black Lightning, Star Trek Discovery, Dear White People, Riverdale, The Exorcist, Wynnona Earp, Mr. Robot, Grace and Frankie, Jane the Virgin, Gotham, How to Get Away with Murder, Halt and Catch Fire... these are just like a FEW from the past 3-4 years. do you need more

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, i do need more

Because the fact of the matter is, shows that don't have queer characters are dozens upon dozens. And most shows that have queer characters usually have them in secondary parts if not utterly minor ones. Making it out to seem as if queer characters are represented in a fashion many queer people want (complex with their own plots and stories that don't entirely rely on their sexuality or gender while not entirely ignoring that such things do factor into their lives) is being willfully obtuse.

Black Sails
The Shannara Chronicles

New character in MacGuyver reboot states she doesn't sleep with men or women who she's working with, so bisexual.

But I don't think all or enough shows have enough queer representation and "just watch this show, not the show you like aside from not enough queer characters" isn't really helpful.

Also asexual representation is even more difficult to find, Shadowhunters aside.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

I agree that we need more characters. But a lot of fandom isn't really interested in representation, they're using the issue of representation to support arguments for their favorite ship.

And I'm not certain how surprising people with a late-season sexuality reveal when the characters were never developed with that in mind would be good representation anyway.

Plus what the OP listed, although I'm not familiar with all of those shows.

Also The 100 (the main character, Clarke, plus there is (was when I watched it, so presumably still is?) a male couple). House (Remy/13) and The Good Wife (Kalinda), Person of Interest (Shaw/Root), Grey's Anatomy (Callie/Arizona) if older examples work. Grown-ish, although that is a show in its first season, so IDK how well it will do and if it will get a second season. And I'm sure there are more both that I'm not thinking of and that I don't know of because I don't watch a lot of television.

I disagree with the OP that most shows have queer characters, but it's not like there are none of them.

older fandoms that are worth checking out

Nolan Ross, Revenge, not only in name but shown to have relationships onscreen with men and women.

Micheletto, The Borgias, it didn't end well for his lovers but he was canonically gay.
