Shonda Rhimes' 19th Century Series, Bridgerton

Netflix’s official synopsis for “Bridgerton” reads: “Inspired by the bestselling novels, the series follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) , the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market. As her pursuit of love unravels, the high society scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown casts criticisms on Daphne who has caught the eye of London’s most desirable duke, Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page)."

Most of Shonda Rhimes and producing partner Betsy Beers' projects have featured an IR couple with a black man and this one Bridgerton she gets big kudos from because it (at least)appears the female and male lead are a IR couple and at the forefront.

The one on Station 19 is probably the best one with some steamy scenes.

I am a little more restrained in my praise because of what she did to that IT couple on Grey's Anatomy. She catered to a certain segment of her base and ended that pairing. Considering the chemistry between those two and the high level of interest they were generated among mainstream audiences, that was a questionable decision at best.

As for Bridgerton when I first reported about this coupling my main issue was the idea of a some black family being part of an esteemed British royal house. But at least I thought it was taking place in modern times. Putting it in the distant past however is a step too far for me, something which would take me completely out of my ability to sit back and consumer it without thinking about its believability. Look, the push for diversity and inclusion doesn't need to use such levels of in-your-face appropriation. This is the second time Shonda has done this too. She is so focused on putting black people into these types of "costume dramas", she doesn't recognize how it irritates many people.
