On this week's episode, we will discuss the Netflix period drama Bridgerton which was written by Chris Van Dunsen and executive produced by Shonda Rhimes. Focusing on the show's character writing, this episode will explore themes of romance, sexuality, marriage, patriarchy, and consent. Zeroing in on the practice of race-bending in historical fiction, we will reflect o the show's supposed race blindness and larger critiques of anti-blackness and colo(u)rism within the series.
