Bridgerton is one of Netflix's most successful intellectual properties, so we are getting a spin-off about the younger years of Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Sterlitz. Who was played on the flagship series by Guyanese-British lesbian actor Golda Rosheuvel and the younger version will be played by India Amarteifio.
As a tie-in, Julia Quinn (and Shonda Rhimes) have penned a prequel series titled "Queen Charlotte" about the monarch and the tragic love story between herself and George III.
While I overall support the efforts of bringing people of color into period dramas—mainly because they are a significant part of Western European media and therefore, I want talented actors of color to be included. The particular expansion of Charlotte makes me feel a bit uncomfortable because once you get past a certain period with the British Royal Family—or any royal family—slavery becomes a reality. Let's talk about it.

For this review I co-oped my boyfriend in order to get another perspective than wasnt as...bitter as my own. Enjoy! I apologize for the length, but I felt it was the most honest way to put it out. Also as a note about our unpopular opinion on LL: He is not the Luther we could have chosen, but I was more willing to accept this vision than other choices I saw than changes made to Bruce and Clark.")

Ive always been the type of person whose gravitated towards strong female characters and part of the reason I ended up enjoying Horror movies was because of the ladies in them. I enjoy seeing women survive in situations like these and because most of the time it tends to be male slashers and female victims, there is this big phallic issue about the women having to fight and claw themselves away from penetration. There are many, many women who could have made this list, I had to cut it down to 6, so here is what we have!

If i were to ask you to name a popular black science fiction or fantasy author most people can think of two names, if that, Octavia E Butler and Samuel R. Delany. So this video is about giving you both a brief history of black authors in the genre and some books that you may not have read and should check out. So that the next time you think “well if you want diversity you should write your own stuff” you will know just how full of it you are.
