First time I noticed Kandyse was on Battle Star Galactica. I was done with that show after she left.
Mod
I really really hated with a fiery passion how they treated her character on that show. The fans gave her a really hard time, which was also infuriating just because they saw her as a roadblock to their fave pairing (tale as old as time with BWs in love triangles and not being end game, sigh).
I remember back in the day, there used to be an official BSG forum and we made sure to support her in the thread to show how much we appreciated her. I think she appreciated it. A friend of hers used to pop on and relay her thoughts and stuff. I think I even sent her one of my books long ago, and she sent me a thank-you photo, which was pretty epic of her. She's a sweetie and I wish she had more roles and notoriety because she was always a joy to watch. Same with Antoinette Robertson and Nadine Ellis. They all should have been in more leading lady roles because they have the talent, looks, and it factor.
That Sense and Sensibility looks great!! I'll definitely be watching it too support it.

I hated it as well; but what they did helped to bolster my decision to never support a show/movie/book if a poc is not in it, and if in it, not treated right. I don't care what hollywood or the nyt says of how good the item is. if we do not demand we will never be seen or heard or read.

Epic! Glad you enjoyed it! :-D And sounds good! I wish we could have a watch party or something but I'm not sure how to approach that! If I find out, I'll have to let you guys know.

Ah thank you.
There is a movie with interracial romance with POC actors. The genre is thriller, but it has interracial romance. It is called Cinnamon on Tubi TV.
Just watched My Last Day Without You on Tubi and it was cute! I really enjoyed it.
Domino Day on BBC 3 may have some interracial relationship. Not quite sure.

In other news, Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been renewed for s2! The burn is going slow but but we’re one step closer to see it all play out.
This trailer for Black Tea just came across my radar.Not something you see everyday and probably wouldn't from a mainstream Hollywood. African woman and Chinese man in China the dialogue is all Chinese. Looks beautiful.

Oh wow! This does look beautiful! Looking forward to it. :-)
Not sure if this fit's in with the TV discussions, but for any who plays videogames "Banishers Ghosts of New Eden" has a bw/wm couple as the main characters. Theres also a full gameplay of this game on Youtube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysOgX...

Oh heck yeah! And it's an RPG? I'm definitely looking into this one! Thanks for posting it, Shalom!

CW has a new show called Wild Cards. It stars a male actor (Giacomo Gianniotti) who was a doctor on Grey's Anatomy and the female lead is someone new to me (Vanessa Morgan). I can feel the chemistry between the two. While it isn't off the charts, there is definite something there. I like the showhttps://youtu.be/XKW-9ORTvC4?feature=...
Mod
I have watched the video. I don’t see Wild Cards lasting past the first season. Just from the video, Vanessa’s character is annoying and I can’t stand annoying women in anything.
Enjoy the show.
Sense and Sensibility that @CaliGirlRae mentioned above thread is set to air tomorrow 2/24/24 on Hallmark. Here is a nice video from the BTS team that made it. Fun fact: The costume designer is Kara Saun who was on the very first season on Project Runway and came in second place. I loved her that season!

How cool is this! This makes me so much more excited for the premiere. :-)

I love Percy Jackson. One of the best live action shows I've watched in a while.
Mod
This looks good!
Mod
I still have to watch Percy Jackson, but I'm so looking forward to it!
Btw, I just saw from the video that Tina posted author Vanessa Riley was a Regency consultant on Sense and Sensibility! So cool! I have her regencies on my reading list and I need to move them up a bit.
Anyway, this is a gentle reminder that the movie premieres in a few hours so tune in if you can! I'm hoping we give Hallmark some nice numbers to show how much we enjoy seeing BW leads on their channel!
I'm not going to do a watch party because I'm on the West Coast, and I think a lot of people will be all over, so our time zones will sadly be off (and I'm usually the last to see the showing)! But if you are on Twitter, they have a hashtag going (#senseandsensibilty) for watching throughout the showings. I won't be on Twitter because it's a cesspit, but I will be watching with my ma, who wants to do a phone viewing party. :-)
I'm super excited to watch.
Thanks for the reminder!! I'm definitely tuning in tonight to give Hallmark some numbers.
So far Sense and Sensibility is very good. One surprise... I had assumed that the main cast, the Dashwoods were black. But all the female characters are black. And there are quite a few IR marriages.
That surprised me too! I was like, more melanin??? Bring it on! Haha
Mod
I really loved it. Watched it twice because I couldn't get enough. The costumes, the acting, the beautiful scenery and whimsy. Loved it so much. I really hope it comes out on DVD. I need it on my movie shelf. :-D
I want to watch it again. I was doing waaaay too much compare and contrasting to the other one with Hugh Grant. hehe It was fun to see how they improved on some points. But the second time around I just want to bask in all the black magic!
Shana wrote: "That surprised me too! I was like, more melanin??? Bring it on! Haha"Right? it took me a minute because we we first saw Fanny, I thought she was white because her brother was white. But then I saw her in full face and I'm like... naw, Fanny is black! I did look up the actress to be sure and.. yeah, she is.
And then we meet John Middleton, who is white, but lo and behold his wife is black. As was the Steele sisters. heh.
Reminds me that if they ever do a tv adaptation of Ben Aaronvitch's Rivers of London series, if they stick to the books then all the female rivers would be black women and all the male rivers would be white men.
Hahaha Riiiiight!! I kept thinking, there's something bout that Fanny.... Lol
This is the first time I'm watching Sense and Sensibility, because I have never read the book. Marianne is obnoxiously naïve and dumb, and I can't stand her character. I like Elinor though. Deborah Ayorinde is flawless in the purple outfits.
The costumes in this Hallmark movie is on point.
I second that! The outfits were fire!!
Shana wrote: "I second that! The outfits were fire!!"I wish they hire this costume designer for The Little Mermaid, 'cause wtf was Halle wearing in that movie.
Mosaic wrote: "This is the first time I'm watching Sense and Sensibility, because I have never read the book.

And yup that is basically Marianne's character in a nutshell. LOL.
Mosaic wrote: "Deborah Ayorinde is flawless in the purple outfits"
Yes! There was one lavender one she wore during hte first Steele sisters visit. I mentioned it on twitter and Deborah Ayorinde nicely responded that it was her favorite. Actually I had great interactions with Deborah Ayorinde and Vanessa Riley on twitter during the watching b/c I live tweeted. Vanessa has a producer credit on the show and also was a background character during the ball scene.
Mod
Right? it took me a minute because we we first saw Fanny, I thought she was white because her brother was white...."
Wait Fanny was black? I thought she was a WW! Wow. Though Mrs. Ferrars got on my nerves, I was tickled when she ordered Fanny to sit heh.

Definitely worth a second viewing! And probably many more! I would love both versions on my shelf. They're officially my fave versions.

Same. I like Pride and Prejudice but only the BBC and 40s versions but Sense and Sensibility has always been my fave (Emma kind of annoys me).
I know most don't like Marianne (my mom even griped about her on the phone during our viewing), but I kinda get where the girl is coming from, considering what time they're growing up in and the constraints of the time. Mix teen boy crazy years with your worth being hinged on who you marry and how slim the chances are it being someone you care about and you've got Marianne. I got a soft spot for her. Loved Elinor/Deborah's portrayal. And Margaret was adorable.
I totally missed Vanessa in the ball scene! She posted the pic on her FB and now I want to go back and see it again to spot her. Her dress was so lovely!
Yea, Marianne is super annoying, but I give her a bit of grace. She was very sheltered and a bit spoiled. But within the context of the time period, I feel like she was trying to break out of the duty mode she saw in her mother and older sister, but didn't have any discipline to do it in a non-annoying way. Lol
For those of us Richonne fans, the first episode of the Rick and Michonne series 'The One Who Live' aired. And it was so much more romantic that I'd ever suspected it would be. It makes me excited for the rest of the series.Also, here is a lovely 40 minute interview with Andrew and Danai doing an entire walk down memory lane of Rick and Michonne;s entire relationship from start to finish. The actors themselves act like an old married couple. Even so much that Andrew is jealous that she kissed another actor on screen. They are funny and charming together.

So Yeah, the Rick and Michonne 6 episode series 'The Ones Who Lived' had it's finale tonight... and it would do romance novels proud. They are down bad for each other, sexy, in love and complete and total bad-asses. And they get a real HEA. I will watch this on repeat!

Wish I could’ve kept watching for them but it was getting a lot with all the deaths. I needed a break and never actually went back.
I stopped watching not too longer after that. I just couldn't stomach Negan. But there is enough context and flashbacks. I think you only need a some familiarity with the world. And Youtube is honestly great with video compilations of just their relationship. A newbie can watch this:
https://youtu.be/DAceTBkdLv8?si=tyCrf...
and get the background on them and drop into the new series. Sure they'll miss all the various incarnations of Rick (The Ricktatorship, Farmer Rick, Crazy-Feral season 5 Rick, Stern-resolute Rick, Can't we All just Get along Rick, and They don't know who they fucking with Rick, e.g.) but you get enough to learn.
I feel like this was a show gift to Richonne shippers and only Richonne shippers.

Also, Cruel Intentions (remake) on Amazon will have interracial romance. The main cast include Savannah Lee Smith, who was in Gossip Girl spin off.
How to Date Billy Walsh on Amazon Prime is teen interracial romance movie, starring the actress who played Kate's younger sister in Bridgerton season 2.

I used to watch Merlin. It ended in 2012. It’s on Tubi, Roku, Pluto and Plex. King Arthur and Guinevere were played by Bradley James and Angel Coulby, who were also dating in real life.
Merlin played by Colin Morgan caught my eyes. I like nerds.
