Trailer for Netflix's "Turn Up Charlie" starring & co-EPed by Idris Elba finally dropped today:





Still looks like potential IR down the line like we discussed in these previous posts.

Yeah, it looks like it develops over time although It also looks as if she was getting married and the white guy kind of figured out something going on and got Irate? She is definitely smitten with Charlie.

This looks funny. Idris got some good things coming out and already going on with Luther.

That kid is going to steal the scenes. lol.

On the other end of the spectrum of the IR we prefer, is a new show premiering next season

About a black celebrity who gets away with murdering his white wife, only to get accused again. Oh and guess who is the executive producer.


Honestly, I don't think this is the TV show we (society) need right now.

And those are the reasons why it will fail. Marcia Clark thinks people aren't sick of her, she'll get a wake up call when they start promoting this show. Especially how the black guy is portraying the character will turn people off the more and more this gets out. The shows ABOUT OJ were different because they were about him. This show is just making it about black men. I bet the questions they dodge or give a suspect answer to are "Why did you make him black?" "Why couldn't he be white?"

Would love it if those questions are brought up! lol.

This is going to tank just like that Fox show about police killings involving a black cop and a white kid.
Who is this for exactly?

I forgot about this shit. This new trailer dropped back in December:

I seen legacies last night. Wasn't able to watch it live on thursday, but the love "triangle" between Alaric, Dorian and Emma took a turn that I approve of when you do the kind of shit Alaric did last episode(even though he was drunk.)

Him quitting is the only thing I don't agree with. Emma and those kids needs Dorian. And even though I agree with Dorian slugging Ric for kissing Emma when he DIDN'T have a slug in his ear that is still his friend and they need to talk about this and sort it out like friends.

And fans agreed! We're tired of these love triangles.

What do you guys think? You agree with the way Dorian handled it?
 
Looks like Nina Dobrev did another round of media interviews a couple days ago to promote "Fam":



Actress Nina Dobrev first major acting role was starring in the teenage drama, "Degrassi: The Next Generation." She's returning to television to star in the new CBS sitcom, "Fam." Dobrev plays Clem, whose life with her fiancé, Nick, is turning upside down when her troubled 16-year-old half-sister, Shannon, moves in with them. Dobrev joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss the stress of performing in front of a live audience.

The star of "Fam" on CBS chats with CBS Local's DJ Sixsmith about her career, working with Tone Bell and her friendship with Drake. #NinaDobrev #FamCBS #Drake

"FAM" is a new CBS comedy that follows Clem (Nina Dobrev), a woman whose vision of a perfect life with her adoring fiancé and his wonderful family is radically altered when her 16-year-old, out-of-control half-sister unexpectedly comes to live with her. As the family Clem chose and the family she has blend, Clem realizes that this happy fam may be the perfection she’s been seeking.

I respect and think quitting was great because we NEVER see black men assert themselves this way. We are allowed to feel betrayal and act on it or at least we should be. Only thing that doesn't make sense is that Alaric didn't know Dorian was with Emma when he kissed her. And side note can we actually get an Indian woman with a traditional Indian name. They all aren't impossible to pronounce, but I digress, I do like seeing a black male who doesn't have to shrink or be wildly violent to make a black male look better.

One major critique I have of this episode and this show in general is that black kid vampire in this episode just takes orders from a weaker human. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Vampires are usually impulsive and only yield to those more powerful or people who a strong emotional hold on them. The Salvatores only respected the Originals and Elana that's pretty much it. Everyone else could kiss their ass when they were going after what they wanted, but this black kid is just listening to Alaric? Why?

Caleb is actually kind of a rebel. He loves and advocates for the vampires and really all of the kids to have their nature be respected and embraced. Did you see his speech about that to Alaric and did you see where Alaric gave him his deal? Caleb, I say by second season will come into his nature as a vampire. I'm liking his development. My new favorite vampire on TV since NBC cancelled Midnight, Texas with Lem.
 
Miles and Cara decided to go on a date at the end of the latest episode of God Friended Me - 3 eps remaining in season 1. The showrunner hinted at a season finale shake up so spread out your apples accordingly.

What exactly is suspicious about it? I don't watch any of those The Bachelor franchise shows, but since ABC is my default channel I often have them on in the background. Being The Bachelorette (& The Bachelor) comes with a lot of media attention, scrutiny, & pressure.

"Bachelor in Paradise" looks like a fun, less serious, less-pressure filled spinoff which can end with multiple couples together & a lot more opportunities for hook-ups.

No shit the females on "Bachelor in Paradise" are more open to BM than on The Bachelorette.

I just 'watched' The .Bachelor pre-proposal 2 hr special tonight (was on in the background).
Haven't watched a lick until tonight.

So according to the sequence, next week he picks his bride.
The Preview shows it's a white chick and a Black chick left.
Colton is a dreamy good-looking White guy with a hot body and the mostly white women tonight were crying hard over him sending them home.

Apparently, next week is the most explosive in franchise history... So much so, that they have to go live over two nights instead of one because of the 'unprecedented' drama.

All l could think was, if this was a BM bachelor and the final 2 women were black and white, it would be the negative viral of Twitter. Like, unending!

I'm curious now how this season and the 'final two' is being played out on SM, lol. I'm hunching very postively.

Yeah, this why I'd be totally fine if they never have a BM as The Bachelor. I don't want to see that cringe-worthy drama playing out on national TV.

First look preview dropped today for NBC's upcoming drama series "The Village":



Looks like there's an IR between Jerod Haynes & Moran Atias' characters. Here are Deadline articles when these 2 actors were cast:

I remember seeing a preview trailer back in January they didn't show that part. The premise doesn't look like something that would interest me. I'll check out the first episode just to see how it goes, but I don't know if this would be something I would be interested in at least at the moment.
