Kidding (2018-2020)

Kidding (2018) is a comedy-drama television series created by Dave Holstein and starring Jim Carrey. The show follows Jeff Pickles, a children's television show host, as he deals with the aftermath of his son's death. While the show is primarily a comedy, it also touches on some serious topics, including sexuality.

In Kidding, sexuality is explored through the characters of Jeff and his ex-wife, Jill. In the first episode, Jeff and Jill have a conversation about their sex life, which reveals that they have not been intimate in a long time. This conversation sets the tone for the rest of the series, as Jeff and Jill's relationship is strained due to their lack of physical intimacy.

Later in the series, Jeff and Jill's relationship is further explored when they attend a couples' therapy session. During the session, Jeff and Jill discuss their sexual needs and desires, and how they can better communicate with each other. This scene is important as it shows that even though Jeff and Jill are no longer together, they still care about each other and are willing to work on their relationship.

The show also touches on the topic of sexuality through the character of Deirdre, Jeff's assistant. Deirdre is a lesbian and her sexuality is explored throughout the series. In one episode, Deirdre takes Jeff to a gay bar, where they both learn more about each other and the LGBTQ+ community. This scene is important as it shows that Jeff is open-minded and accepting of Deirdre's sexuality, and that he is willing to learn more about it.

Overall, Kidding does a great job of exploring the topic of sexuality. Through the characters of Jeff, Jill, and Deirdre, the show is able to show that sexuality is a complex and nuanced topic, and that it should be discussed openly and without judgement.
