Devious Maids (2013)

Devious Maids features Adrian Powell, a prominent character whose multi-season arc explores his journey from a closeted man to openly embracing his gay identity. While his sexuality is often intertwined with the show's dramatic and comedic tone, his eventual self-acceptance and pursuit of an authentic, loving relationship with another man result in a net positive portrayal.

Devious Maids features Daniela Mercado, a transgender character whose identity becomes a central plot point for her mother, Carmen. The show depicts Carmen's initial struggle with acceptance, followed by a resolution of unconditional love and support, portraying Daniela with dignity and agency.

The show consistently portrays Christianity, particularly Catholicism, as a source of comfort, moral guidance, and cultural identity for its main characters. While individual characters may exhibit flaws or hypocrisy, the narrative generally treats the faith itself with respect, often showing characters turning to prayer and spiritual reflection in times of need.
