10 Best BL shows for newbies in USA

I'm creating this list for newbies in the USA that don't know much about the BL genre. This is my favorite of the shows I have watched and highly recommend them.  I'm in the Carolinas and recommend Viki, Gagaoolala, and IQIYI. I've used all three and have had no issues. Youtube has some as well.

    Sometimes Camp is everything! Love this show. It's bombastic, crude, campy, and so much fun! Very adult oriented, especially the LaForte version.

    This is a remake of a prior Japanese BL. I recommend seeing it as well. I prefer this one however due to longer story and characters are more flushed out. Great acting and production value.

    This one is a slow start for me. However once the story began to unfold, I had to find out where it was going to end up. Good acting, directing, and production value.
