The sci-fi show chronicled eight different characters from around the world, connected mysteriously. Two of them were LGBT; trans lesbian San Franciscan Nomi (played by trans actress Jamie Clayton) and closeted Mexican TV star Lito (played by Miguel Angel Silvestre). Both characters have partners, as well.

Describing too much about the show would be hard without spoilers. It was written by J. Michael Straczynski and created by Andy and Lana Wachowski, who were behind the innovative Matrix trilogy. Lana is one of the most prominent trans women in Hollywood.
