The series “His Dark Materials”
It is a fantasy TV series in a multi-world reality in which the protagonists fight a repressive Magisterium which is a religious and political body.
It is based on Philip Pullmans triology of the same name. More details at this Wikipedia post.
There were three seasons in 2019, 2020, and 2022. It got very positive reviews and it was popular.

Not with everyone though.
The triology, “His Dark Materials,” was more direct in what type of repressive religious institution the Magisterium was. There was outspoken Christian opposition to the books. The first in the series was altered. .
The filmmakers obscured the explicitly Biblical character of the Authority to avoid offending viewers. Weitz declared that he would not do the same for the planned sequels. "Whereas The Golden Compass had to be introduced to the public carefully", he said, "the religious themes in the second and third books can't be minimised without destroying the spirit of these books. ...I will not be involved with any 'watering down' of books two and three, since what I have been working towards the whole time in the first film is to be able to deliver on the second and third".[54]

This series was popular. It appears to be fun to watch if you like fantasy series. It isn’t that old.
Amir Wilson starts at 0:30. This trailer is fairly clear in giving an alternative view of Christian mythology where the fallen angels are heroes.
We should promote this series.
Occasionally have a trailer in your social media timeline. You don’t need to watch it yourself. You don’t have to be continously pushing it, but an occasional posting of a YouTube trailer might be good. This is a low effort project that would steadily erode homophobic Christianity.
A young person watching this series will likely later see Christianity for what it is.
It is available for rent on Amazon and it is an HBO offering.
