4. I watched every episode of Gentleman Jack.

I can say that ultimately, I found it unpleasant to watch (although the art direction and acting are fantastic). It was somehow both anxiety-producing (so much rushing about) and boring at the same time.

It had nothing to do with depictions of same-sex relationships. I also stopped watching, for one reason or another, Handmaid's Tale, Outlander, and for a season, Westworld.

Queer TV is cancelled for the same reason any TV is cancelled: not enough people watch it.
