Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin. Everyone is correct, this is a superbly written classic about queerness and shame. I love a book that tells you the terrible ending at the very start and then flashes back and unspools what led to it. Also this absolutely insane burn from Jacques to David after he ghosts Giovanni and then everyone horrifically collides in the bookshop hit me hard--"One book," he said, finally, "that you can surely spare yourself the trouble of reading is the Marquis de Sade."

In TV, I watched Shrinking (seasons 1 & 2). Obsessed with Harrison Ford in this. I feel like they gave him the character info and then basically told him to be himself. Also I particularly love Gaby. Jessica Williams' line delivery is perfection.
