What was your overall reaction to Bridgerton?

Kathleen Newman-Bremang: I was hype for this show, and mostly, I enjoyed it. I mainlined the entire thing in one day, but my overall feeling is disappointment. I love a period piece; Belle is one of my all-time favorite movies, and Alyssa Cole is one of my favorite authors. I haven’t read Bridgerton, but I love romance novels set in this era, and I especially love a period piece that we rarely get to see on television: one starring non-white people. But after watching it, I think this show is a perfect reminder of the fact that representation won’t save us. Just sprinkling some light-skinned Blackness in there isn’t enough.

Bridgerton did a lot of hinting or winking at race without actually ever going there. It was almost like they were scared to say it out loud.

Indeed, I'll never sub to that garbage again after I realized, that they only promote some blackwashed garbage instead of good series, that may be found there with some digging.
