DC\u2019s Legends of Tomorrow<\/em> is back from their winter hiatus on Monday, and the team of superheroes will be joined by a new member, John Constantine. Constantine is a figure in DC Comics, as \u201can alienated, chain-smoking, bisexual, world-weary demonologist,<\/a>\u201d and will have an arc on Legends<\/em> before moving to his own digital animated show on the CW Seed. Constantine will join Sara Lance (aka White Canary), the bisexual<\/a> leader of the time-traveling team as they fight this season\u2019s big bad. DC\u2019s Legends of Tomorrow: Monday, 8pm on The CW. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sundance Now\u2019s first streaming series, This Close, <\/em>debuts on Wednesday. The new dramedy hails from co-creators, actors, and best friends Shoshanna Stern and Josh Feldman. Both creators are deaf, and Feldman is gay<\/a>, and their characters within the show reflect these facets of their identity. This Close<\/em> explores the codependent friendship between their two characters, their struggles at work and different romantic entanglements. A show having a gay<\/a> deaf lead is a huge and overdue step in representation, and This Close<\/em> will break new barriers with these characters. This Close: Wednesday on Sundance Now. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
