So true, Justine!
If you let Lucius tell it, the only reason his son is throwed off is because of his interracial relationship. But fans of the show know he can be a little rigid about all his thoughts. lol

Cookie called him right. A shame she didn't see this a lot earlier.

I'm sure he will beat the trail, just unsure who will be thrown under the bus in the process. Any ideas?
There's a new series coming out on netflix, Marvel's Daredevil and Elektra is played by Rosario Dawson, so that should be fun.

There is nary a book that I don't read the last chapter to find out if I am satisfied with the ending before continuing to read it. With shows I don't pay any attention to the following week's cuts or consider what's going to happen in the next week's episode. I notice I am usually wrong and shows do not tend to be written with consistency. So I have no idea. I am ticked off that Lucious' ALS was a misdiagnosis though. That left almost the same bad taste that Shonda did when Olivia told Fitz to earn her. He earned her and then that twit Shonda split them up again.
The Red Road is a sundance show that's similar to Banshee, staring Jason Momoa (need I say more?). It features a couple Native American man/WW relationships.

It's good so far. Pretty dark. I'll always ship Daredevil and Elektra, but I love Rosario Dawson and Claire is a cool character.
I was anti the new Daredevil show just on the strength (Ben Affleck flashbacks...boo).But if Rosario Dawson is on the show may have to tune in...love her! Gotta support WoC on TV.
Mod
I'm IN LOVE with the Daredevil show, almost finished with it and dreading the end. I'm seriously addicted. I only wish there was more racial diversity among the main characters, like if Karen and Claire swapped actresses. I know they're trying to keep it old school for fans, but since I wasn't a fan before now, it doesn't matter to me. That said, I'm still obsessed. I haven't been this taken by a show since Fringe.

Yes, I know it's really dark, but I think that's what I love about it. I agree with you lol Elektra and Daredevil are the ultimate power couple. I wonder who's going to play her. And Charlie Cox is amazballs so, he does no wrong in my book :)
There's a new show called iZombie and there's a great partnership (nothing sexual at all) between Detective Babineux (black) and Liv (white).
Mod
High five, Codie!

Can I admit I am super squeamish about zombies? I'm like a scared little rabbit. :)

Lol High five! & I think everyone is a bit squeamish about zombies, however I can't say that a zombie apocalypse seems a tiny, teeny, weeny bit fun...or does that make me crazy? Anyway, perhaps a different supernatural creature would be more to your liking lol :D
I’m not sure if someone mentioned this, but there’s a show called Scrotum Recall on netflix that awesome and it features a various amount of relationships, some of which are IR = BW/WM. The girl from Misfits is a main character (UK version)
"Sleepy Hollow" stars Nicole Behaire, Tom Mison. (BW/WM)."Being Mary Jane" stars Gabrielle Union, James Lee Taylor (BW/WM).
There is an IR married couple on The Bold & The Beautiful. However, they ruined it by making the female character transgender.
A new IR couple on tv, hope this get to be a series! >> ‘Grey’s Anatomy’s Jerrika Hinton To Star In Shondaland ABC Comedy Pilot ‘Toast’http://deadline.com/2016/03/jerrika-h...
And she's paired with Jono Kenyon (yum).

Sounds good hopefully she does this right because I've stop watching "How to Get Away with Murder" and "Scandal"
Just watched the movie "Something Unexpected" based on the book by Tressie Lockwood. The reviews have been so so but if you are a fan it is just okay. It is a low budget film but I give it an A for effort. The cast is full of unknowns but they do a decent job even though parts of it is just frustrating due to the sound, there are scenes in which you can't understand what they are saying so you have to turn up the volume. So if you have about an hour and a half to kill check it out. Saw the movie on Amazon.
IDK if someone's mentioned it yet but The Family (abc I think) BW/WM (view spoiler). Sooo good you should totally check it out.
Mod
It's on Amazon Instant Video? I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Here's another movie I came upon on Amazon Instant Video. The name of the movie is "Last Night" starring Judi Blair and Danny Gavigan. It is about a woman leaving Washington D.C. to be with her boyfriend in North Carolina but on her last day she meets a guy and they spend the day together going around town. She has doubts about her move and so does her boyfriend. The movie basically takes place in 24 hours. It was a decent film and all the characters learn something about themselves. Also has anyone heard about the new movie "Loving" about Richard and Mildred Loving? I saw a post yesterday and the film comes out in November and they say that this film is a more accurate version than the one with Timothy Hutton and Lela Rochon.

ooh Cassandra, thanks for letting us know!! I'm going to look out for these movies!!
http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/marve...Just found out that they have an interracial superhero tv series in the works.
Does anyone watch sense8? I recently binged it, and I really really like the storyline and tension with Wolfgang (German by way of Russia) and Kala (Indian).
I binge it last year waiting for next season. I just love and hate the show. The chemistry between the whole cast is amazing. Sadly one cast member has been recast. The guy from Africa
Oh no, he was good. I wonder who's gonna be his replacement. Mike and Molly featured a BM/WW with Carl and Molly's sister. There's also BBC television series Death in Paradise, which showcases a male-female partnership - they're detectives (BW/WM). Outisders on WGN - I'm not up to date but there was a BW/WM relationship between Sally-Ann and I always forget his name. Oh, there's also the new show Preacher which features my girl Ruth Negga from Love/Hate and Misfits as a main character and possible love interest. There's also Feed the Beast, new AMC series which is gonna has a past BW/WM and a possible WM/SW. House of Lies which is a BM/WW I believe.

Yeah....=/ Alas, actors in real life are not the same as the characters they play. There was behind-the-scenes friction between his actor and Lana Wachowski. Here's hoping his replacement is as good! It seems like we're going to have to wait till next year before we see the next season...
I second #TeamSasil on the Outsiders! haha one of the guys from the mountain named Hasil (WM) is in a relationship with Sally-Ann (BW) in a "romeo and juliet" type fashion. And they are actually a pretty adorable couple and I've rewatched their scenes on youtube since the season ended like 5 or 6 times.I'm only a little obsessed
Their coupling made me really happy, especially after the debacle that was Sleepy Hollow >.< haha The Outsiders just got renewed for a second season as well which is rad!

ABC did not pick up that pilot so it isn't going forward. Too bad because it looked cute.
But they did pick up Still Star Crossed also by Shondaland. It takes place after Romeo and Juliet commit suicide and the Montagues are black and the Capulets are white.

After the mess she made with Scandal, I'm no longer comfortable investing any time in any of her shows.

Is anyone watching The Expanse? Holden and Naomi (played by Steven Strait and Dominique Tipper) are absolutely great and so hot, both are really flawed and complicated characters, with mad chemistry. It's a really slow-building and absorbing show, pretty hard science fiction but still really great - I highly recommend.
I watch The Expanse and The Outsiders, I am really enjoying them, especially because of the relationship mentioned.I love Iris and Barry together, love the flash.
Anyone watch, DC's Legends Of Tomorrow, there is an IR, (BWWM) relationship there too, the female is Vixen's grandmother. Yeah, it's complicated to explain. :)

I watch all these, but I am surprised by how much I love Legends of Tomorrow. Even outside of Nate and Amaya, the show is bonkers fun. But Nate & Amaya are really sweet together. So glad they acknowledged their feelings for each other for real and will be a couple going into next season.
Sally Ann and Hasil are the breakout couple of the Outsiders Super popular on social media. And I have to say this season Hasil's hair is glorious, LOL. But I want them up on the mountain!!
Oh yes, I was doing a happy dance when Nate and Amaya, finally revealed their feelings to each other too. I feel like I waited forever for that to happen. For awhile there I thought she would end up going back to her time. You're right though, the show has gotten interesting despite their relationship, alot better than last season.Sally Ann and Hasil, what can I say, I love them and his hair does look really good this season.
Do you know of any other shows that have an IR relationship?
The Good Fight. it is a spin off of The Good Wife but set in a black law firm. But you have to pay $$ because it is only on CBS' all access channel. Luca (played by Cush Jumbo) is a BW lawyer, very gorgeous and she has her boo played by Justin Bartha. Asher and Michaela on How To Get Away With Murder got together toward the end of season 2 and became a full fledged couple this season. They took me by surprise I thought they were a terrible match but man have they become charming and in the finale they exchanged ILU's.
Nova and Calvin on Queen Sugar He left his wife for her.
Lovesick on Netflix has a lot of different IR pairings, but Evie (played by Antonia Thomas) and her BFF Dylan are star-crossed they each pine for each other at different times an even hook up once.
Dark Matter Season 2 has a BWAM romance between Nyx (played by Melanie Liburd) and Number 4. But ... I dunno... it isn't looking good I am not sure if Nyx is coming back next season.
And even though it is animated series Archer the funny spy series (all seasons are on Netflix) has Archer and Lana who have an on again off again romance. They have a kid together at the end of season ... 5? Fair warning Archer is very risque & explicit.
Travelers on Netflix also features BWWM, it's an odd match but the show is pretty good. Chewing Gum is hilarious and it's very diverse and interracially driven. BWWM
Iron Fist is a WMAW
I think the new Netflix series 13 Reasons Why features an interracial couple. I'll keep you posted.
Hey Tina, I have been watching the good fight. I forgot all about it,that's one show that started with a bang.
I know about Dark Matter, I hear that relationship is a bust, damn shame that.
I did not know about, Queen sugar, I will have to check that out. Wasn't there a book of the same name?
Yeah, I tried Archer, it's a little too much for me. :)
Hey Codie, I think i caught a few episodes of Travelers, I'll have to catch up, and I'll definitely have to checkout, Chewimg Gum, I love comedies, I will also check out Iron Fist.
Is the show, 13 Reasons Why, already showing?
Thank you both so very much for taking the time to recommend these shows, I truly appreciate it. :)
I also rec Travellers. Good premise, very interesting science fiction.Also it'll be interesting to see if Iron Fist/Luke Cage follows comics canon, Danny Rand and Misty Knight are supposed to get together just as Luke Cage and Jessica Jones are actually a married couple in the comics.
Definitely continue Travelers - it gets better as it progresses if you enjoy science fiction/ time travel. Chewing Gum is really cringey lol but good
Yes, it's finally available! I'm really excited to start it.
I'm glad I could help :)
I forgot to mention Marco Polo features a WMAW
Tina
They probably won't, although that would be so awesome! Fingers crossed they get to it later in the seasons.
I love Sci/Fi so I'll continue watching it, and I will also check out, Marco Polo.I would love to hear what you think of, 13 Reasons Why.
Thank you both again, so much, some great recommendations here. :)
Chewing Gum is ridiculously awkward but absolutely hilarious if you don't mind more "raunchy/rique" humor. I just finished binge watching the entire second season last night.Also idk if its already been mentioned but Into The Badlands technically has an AMBW couple (its a little complicated right now lol). Plus I just highly recommend this show because its got an awesome multicultural cast and really awesome action. But as a warning it is gorey...so that's something to be mindful of.

They killed of Raza on Elementary. If you were to only watch TV or movies,you would come away with the view that an IR is hazardous to one's health.
