I heard that they casted a dark-skinned Indian woman to be the lead next season. Since they are following Anthony's love story next season.
That's all good but I am still disappointed. It is easier (for them) to cast a dark skinned Indian woman than a dark-skinned young Black woman. They only prefer us as decoration. SMDH.
A screenwriter friend and I had the exact same points to make about the show. Marina was a mix between the Jezebel and tragic mulatto stereotypes. It was so blatant. Ugh.
Honestly, I dislike how it was trying too hard on the diversity angle. I also dislike the fact that I can't discuss about the show honestly online without being attacked and dragged into the American culture war which I want to have zero part in. I mostly dislike the show because it was campy and oversexed. All these factors just turned me off, and it made watching the show more hard work than I'd like. I'll just take out my worn copy of Pride and Prejudice and watch Colin Farrell.

YES!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this. Bridgerton is trash.

I could feel this coming and had no desire to watch, thank you for your review. Confirmed my gut feelings.
