**Please note: some of the 2020 shows have yet to air.
This list comprises of shows (and some Netflix movies) with black actors as the lead or mostly black cast.
I know some disabled people don't like the term "differently abled" but I'm using the term to include people who may, for example, have dwarfism or have a heavily scarred/deformed body (part), but wouldn't consider themselves "disabled" in any way. If there's a better way to word this, let me know! Excluding characters with mental illness or terminal diseases, they have their own lists. I'm always open to recommendations! See https://trakt.tv/users/bangiras/lists/read-me for ways to contact me if you don't have a Trakt.TV account.
These are shows I want to try but they have not ended. So they stay on this list until they end so I can binge them.

i'm tired of googling "Black leads on netflix" or any other streaming platform. so i made this list :information_desk_person_tone3:♀
my hope is that i'll see just how many shows there are where Black voices are centered. and i also hope it'll take me a shorter amount of time to find something to watch where a Black person isn't a secondary character or a guest on the show.
here's to the diversity of Blackness

In an attempt to sort my ethnicity/race lists better, I've created separate lists for African-Canadians/USians, Afro-Caribbean people, and indigenous/minority African people, all listed below.
I know that Africans have a complicated history, especially when it comes to genealogy/heritage, but hopefully this decision is more helpful than having a catch-all list for everybody. Let me know if I've made any mistakes!
