Yeah, I'll be interested to hear of that as well. I don't have Netflix, but I do have its stocks. So folks, I encourage everyone to get Netflix channel please... :-)
Emotonal wrote: "Anyway, could you tell me just how raunchy/risque that show is?"In Chewing gum, the main character, Tracey, grew up in a rigidly religious household but she isn't really religious. She's a virgin and really wants to have sex. The first season is about her trying to lose her virginity.
There is cringe humor, lots of frank sex talk, there are quite a few scenes of people having sex, there is a scene with a erotic toys party.
S2 features one of the most explicit episodes of the whole series, that takes place in a sex club. Lots of public and open sex on display.
I binged S2 in one night and it was good, felt like it explored a few more serious themes than S1. There is a really funny (but really fucked up episode) about a white guy who seriously fetishizes black women and is a bit of a black culture vampire. It was an interesting take on the theme, done very comedically.
Justine, I do watch The Good Fight and Expanse and like them both.Well, I have to say, Chewing Gum, is not for me. I hate gratuitous sex and it sounds like the main theme of the show, I don't mind the sex talk, within reason but the sex all over the place would make me roll my eyes, cringe alot. so yeah, I'll pass.
I don't even read erotic, sexually explicit books, because it says nothing, gives me a headache, makes no sense and boor me. you know some people try to call that being a prude because I have no interest in reading about or watching people having and if that's the case, I wear that mantle proudly.
We are all different people who enjoy different things, life would be so boring if we all were the same.
Thank you for all your recommendations though, It's truly, truly appreciated.
Kai:)
It's a shame you didn't enjoy it but I understand. It's not for everyone and surprisingly enough I hate sex scenes in television and erotica for novels. They're usually the parts I skip/fast forward for the sheer lack of substance and overall importance to the general plot. There was just something different about CG for me idk. lol glad you gave it a go and weened it out. Hope you enjoy the other shows mentioned.

Chewing Gum isn't for me either. I just don't find it funny
Codie, your other recs. were great. Thank you.It's something how someone would find meaning in something they usually don't.
If you or Justine thinks of any other show, please let me know.
Thanks:)

Emotonal,
It's not on now, but there used to be a show on Syfy called Eureka. The show went for about 5 seasons or so.
The leads Colin Ferguson and Salli Richardson were in an IR that happened in the last two seasons, but you could see that Colin had a thing for her from the very first moment he met her. Unlike Scandal or other shows, once they became a couple, they stayed a couple, got married and became a family.
It's quirky with lots of science stuff, but a fun watch.
You may be able to get it from Netflix or purchase the DVDs.
I have that show, thank you for reminding me because I totally forgot about it.I freaking love that show, it was so funny, everyone played their part so well. I am watching that tonight.
Thank you again:)

Just thought I'd mention that this season of Chicago Med (season 2, just ended) has had a BWWM couple - surgeon Connor Rhodes (played by Colin Donnell) has been in a relationship with epidemiologist Robyn Charles (played by Mekia Cox).And Season 3 also seems to have the pair going on, as well as a Black Woman Asian Man pairing - nurse April Sexton (played by Yaya DaCosta) shared a kiss with chief resident Ethan Choi (played by Brain Tee) in the season finale.
I caught the finally of that show, chicago Med, and plan on watching next season too. The ending was kind of sad for one because of mental illness, I'm still excited to see where the Black Woman, Asian Man pairing goes.

I'm curious to see how that South African doctor will try to be a home wrecker between her and Connor next season now.
April had a tough go this season and it's nice to see her with a good guy like Ethan
And LOL, yes, in case it's not obvious yet, I am gaga about this show! :)
The south African Doctor is something else.Yeah, I want to see April happy too, especially with Ethan because you're right, he is a good guy, in fact a great one.
I don't blame you being gaga over this show. It is a great series and I cannot wait for the next season. :)

Oh, and Will & Natalie finally admitting they have feelings for each other! I was so sad for Nina, though, because she clearly loved Will dearly, and he made a mess of breaking up with her.
There is so much unanswered questions, now I'm really inpatient for next season.I think there are somethings that I missed but have them all recorded. I am going to re watch the second season and of course be back with more comments.

I know this is a bit late. I'm a newbie. lol. But I literally went through this entire list to see if anyone posted about Hasil and Sally-Ann. I legit binged watched both seasons of Outsiders in two days and fell in love with Sasil. Their chemistry is unreal. That was some great casting.
I actually rewatch their clips on youtube as well.
It's so sad that the series got cancelled. And it was now starting to get really good at the end of season 2 :(

Yeah, I read that it was being shopped around as well. I really want this series to be picked up cause Sasil baby needs to happen. And that end with Hasil was a really good cliffhanger. They really dropped the ball by cancelling Outsiders.

And y'know Sasil is only half the reason I watched this show. They were the reason I started watching Outsiders as I kept seeing their vids pop up on YT when watching Richonne (TWD) vids, but I must admit that the whole concept of off-the-grid mountain folk and a major enviromental fight is what really kept me glued.
Seems that this channel has a problem with cancelling their original shows as I've heard that Underground has also been cancelled, as has Salem.
F**kwits.

Honestly Sasil is 100% the reason I watched Outsiders. I found out about Sasil cause I was watching one of those IR tv couples vid on youtube and all I saw was this rugged tattooed man and this sweet, innocent looking girl and I had to find out what show they were on.
I didn't even know those other two shows were cancelled. I admittedly watched Outsiders online so I never followed up on their other original shows. I only ever saw the trailers for Salem and Underground and they both looked decent.
I'm pretty sure it was a money issue with the network that caused them to cancel those shows, which is sad cause they had a good bit of viewers and fans and Sasil was like social media royalty.

Rant coming. But is anyone else highly miffed about the cancellation of "Still Star-Crossed" ?! I was really looking forward to all the Rosaline/Benvolio/Escalus and Livia/Paris action. It's super depressing :( This year has been rough for me with a lot of my favs getting the axe. I really was enjoying the show. The costuming was gorgeous, acting was top notch, and I really enjoyed the casting. I am a huge fan of historical dramas and it was nice to have one that included people of color...that didn't have to do with slavery for once. Here's to hoping that hulu or netflix picks it up.
Came across a movie on Netflix called War on Everyone. Alexander Skarsgard and Tessa Thompson are a couple in it. It was surprisingly funny for a movie about dirty cops.Speaking of Skarsgard reminds me of Big Little Lies on HBO. It is excellent. Zoe Kravitz has a fairly significant supporting role and is in an IR marriage in it.
Finally Dear White People (the series) on Netflix is fantastic! So funny and smart. Also the main character Sam is in an IR relationship that is a major plot point.
Thanks Tina for recommending War on Everyone, It was a dark, corrupt cop movie but hilarious too. I am such a fan of Alexander Skarsgard after reading Liane Moriarty's Pretty Big Lies and watching the limited HBO series under the same title. Of course one can't forget Skarsgard as the broody vampire, Eric Northman in True Blood. Tina wrote: "Came across a movie on Netflix called War on Everyone.

Thanks for sharing. I'll add this movie to my Netflix queue. As for Big Little Lies I saw all five actresses during the Emmys and was happy to see Zoe, but I later saw the show poster that didn't include Zoe so I thought her part was very small. I'll definitely check it out now.
I only watched the first episode (so far) of Dear White People and my favorite quote from the show ... "Is she Rashida Jones Black or Tracee Ellis Ross Black"? ☺

Thanks for the recommendation. Watched it today with my husband and both of us really enjoyed it. Dark and funny.
I was almost ready to quit Riverdale until a couple episodes ago where it became clear they were about to set up an Asian Man/Black Woman pairing in Josie McCoy (as in Josie and the Pussycats, and played by Ashleigh Murray) and Reggie Mantle (played by Charles Melton).They've only had a couple of scenes so far, but hot damn.
There's also another potential Black Woman/White Man pairing in Toni Topaz and Jughead Jones, but the fandom is too crazy to let it prosper so I doubt it'll go anywhere.
There’s a YouTube show called “Black Girl in a Big Dress” that features some interracial elements.
Lifetime is doing what Hallmark can't seem to figure out and has a Christmas themed Rom-Com with some diversity. Tatiana Ali and Brendan Fehr will star in Wrapped up In Christmas to air on 11/25 on Lifetime Movie Channel.

Not a big fan of 'The Chick in Jeopardy Channel' but this looked really cute. So yes, I'll be turning in.

Yes, Tina! Hallmark is well known for using African- American actors as fillers or should I say sidekick, best friend or just a quick walk by character. Lifetime is trying to add diversity but they tend to fall right back in the same trap.
TheFountainPenDiva wrote: "Not a big fan of 'The Chick in Jeopardy Channel' but this looked really cute. So yes, I'll be turning in."I was amazed this was Lifetime. I thought for sure Hallmark had finally seen the light.
I had to check to see if I even had Lifetime as a channel because I can't think of one thing I've watched on it in recent years. But yeah, I am totally gonna watch thi cuz it looks cute.

The new season of Black Mirror on Netflix has an episode that features and IR couple called 'Hang the DJ.'If you aren't familiar with Black Mirror it is a futuristic Sci Fi anthology series where the episodes all have sort of twist to them. Most of them are a little dark but two Hang The DJ is romantic. As is another episode from season 3 called 'San Junipero' which features an IR lesbian couple.
Taken on Fox has returned. The first season had an IR relationship, but the show has been rebooted for the second season and the IR relationship is no more. Funnily enough, I like the characters in season 2 better than those in season one... Anyhow I don't think it will be a show with a long life.
I think this is a total 3-hankie tearjerker, but Netflix has Irreplaceable You starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Michael Huisman (almost unrecognizable without his sexy facial hair) as a couple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKnQV...
Thank you,Tina. Just add to my watch list on Netflix
Thank you. I will have to watch this. It looks like a quality movie
Altered Carbon Netflix series features an AMBW relationship in flashbacks and a WMLW(Latina). Not done the series yet but It's very Killjoys-esque.

I understand the concept and the whole resurrection (well more like installing your soul into new body-thing) but the starting story is too slow for me and I find it difficult to keep up with the sad (but not so sad story) about the hero's background
Lex Scott DAvis has been cast as the lead in an ABC drama pilot entitled 'For Love'. “For Love” is described as an epic love triangle set against a grounded, secret world of magic in present day New Orleans. In the show, protagonist Hope Castille (Davis) is shocked when she gets a call from her fiancé–five years after he was killed.Davis is black and the actors cast as her former fiance and new love interest are both white. Here's the article.
Also there is a show on Netflix called Everything Sucks set during the 90s primarily folowing a bunch of high school students that features an IR romance between the mother of the main character played by Claudine Mboligikpelani Nako and the principal of the school.

Dirk Gently was a bit too strange for me, but I did not see the first episode. I may have to go back to the beginning...
Don't have HBO
Along with The Expanse on SYFY there is also Killy Joys (Hanna John-Kammen/Luke MacFarlane)

About, Into The Badlands, I freaking love that show. I was so worried that they wouldn't have a second season. It is right up my alley because I'm mainly into BW/ and other race pairings, though I'd give any pairing a chance.
It is a little complicated right now, as you say, but I hope they reunite soon and all goes well. I will really be pissed if the producers decide not to put them back together and come up with some bull to justify that decision or, sticks her with that crazy fool
she is stuck with right now fearing for her and her baby's life.
I swear they better not pull that crap.
Anyway, could you tell me just how raunchy/risque that show is?
Thanks:)
