The past several years have been pretty good for LGBT-focused TV series, with shows like Faking It, Sense8, Transparent and The Fosters garnering critical acclaim and big audiences.
But the TV landscape is littered with gay-themed shows that bombed. Hard.

One Big Happy
2015

But Happy, was a critical and ratings disaster and got canceled after just six episodes.
