The creators of USA's Sirens and MTV's Faking It explain why they respectively, added asexual and intersex characters to their shows. "We did some research, and we thought that it would be an interesting thing to explore," says Sirens' Bob Fisher. Meanwhile, Faking It boss Carter Covington says of his intersex character: "It felt really fresh. It felt like a way to explore themes I hadn't seen on TV before."

i like Faking It - for MTV it is a pretty good show, mostly because the main characters are so interesting.
