BM/WW IR sightings on TV

[darkcurry]

When they announced the casting of this movie they made it seem like the father wasn't around. He isn't even a part of the main cast. So interesting to see how they do his character on this show.

LOL, NBC just dropped the trailer today for Kenan Thompson's new sitcom "Kenan":

I can't help but chuckle that they conveniently made Kenan's character a widower & thus a single father. Hollywood was still leery about going there when they ordered the pilot early last year.

Judging by the picture he is holding up at the 0:21 mark his wife was biracial.

What were they leary about?

It's kind of awkward to have a show named after him where he is a widow with two mixed-race kids when in real life he also has two mixed-race kids with a white woman who is still alive. lol.

Interesting concept though.

This is more of mom and daughter show no IR romance

The brief scene between the mom and dad of the mixed girl is clearly IR even if their relationship isn't the main focus of the series.

Bridgerton is Netflix's Biggest Series Ever

The crown jewel of Netflix's 2020-2021 season is, indeed, Bridgerton. The streamer released its internal viewer ratings for the Shondaland romance-drama and announced it has become its biggest series ever.

Within the first 28 days since Bridgerton premiered on Netflix Dec. 25, the show has hit a record of 82 million households around the world. Similar to past Netflix ratings, the 82 million households comprise 82 million Netflix accounts that chose to watch at least two minutes of Bridgerton in that time period. Even if there are multiple individual user profiles within one account that watched more than two minutes of the first season multiple times, Netflix only counts that as one household view.

"The show has made the top 10 in every country except Japan — hitting number one in 83 countries including the U.S., U.K., Brazil, France, India, and South Africa," reads a Netflix blog post. "Indeed, the success of Bridgerton propelled the books into The New York Times bestseller lists for the first time, and 18 years after they were first published."

So it surpassed Stranger Things? Really?

lol.

No but seriously like I said it was good, but not my cup of tea personally. But well written and well acted enough for me to finish this season. Some of the storylines were good especially the romance of Daphne & Simon. That was a beautiful storytelling of lovers. And it was the main storyline too. Something we rarely see with bm/ww IR couples in art.

And of course those sex scenes were...

Going all in & finally doing network family sitcom with a Black Father, White Mother, & biracial kids.

On NBC?

I thought that was done before on another network though but just got cancelled.

I can't think of a network family sitcom that has done this.

Netflix Renews Bridgerton for Season 2

https://tinyurl.com/y3c9caqs

I finished this last night. Not exactly my cup of tea like I said it reminded me of TV shows like Downton Abbey and Harlots just obviously with different concepts but it was well written like those shows. I love how they did this IR romance.

With this show breaking records for Netflix I just wonder why they didn't renew for two more seasons like some other record breaking shows.

I gave in & decided to watch the 1st episode last night after seeing YouTuber Xantos Clutch do a video on the show. I was expecting it to be corny & only being able to partially hold my attention. But I was wrong, the show is well-done & kept my full attention.

Lindsey Morgan (The chick that played Raven on The CW's "The 100") is involved in another IR on The CW's new "Walker, Texas Ranger" reboot series "Walker" with Jeff Pierre's character.:

Are you talking about "Fam" on CBS?

Are you talking about "Fam" on CBS?

No. I'm going to try and dig something up when I get time but I think that there was one before but the show got cancelled.

Half way through the 2nd episode of "Bridgerton"....I see Shonda Rhymes couldn't help herself & made the darkskin father of black male co-lead live up to this stereotype:

Has anyone noticed the two most popular and most discussed series on Netflix (Lupin and Bridgerton), both have WW/BM leads?

Are we a seeing shift towards something good?

Nope both are international movies removed from the US
Foreign entertainment has always been on the IR forefront
