[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Penelope was made distractingly fat and ugly this season. She looks much better in Derry Girls.

It would have been nice if dress colors had occasionally changed. All that money and the dressmaker organizes each household by fabric color!

I thought the turmeric scene was weird because these Indian girls act completely British ton society at all other times except for the nicknames and bangles. Then all of a sudden they need to incorporate something ethnic? The other non-White characters don’t do anything different, I just thought it was a weird switch. Are we having multiracial characters or not? [/quote]

Agree.  The small random attempts to slide in “Indian cultural norms” was utterly bizarre, distracting and completely unwarranted. These books are about the English regency not Indian culture. [/quote]
uh... I don't know if you've been paying attention, but English regency also didn't have POC in the ton, let alone a black queen.   You guys are missing the thread of mondernity and diversity in the series.[/quote]

The diversity of actors is great. No reason not to have people if different skin tones, hair,  facial features, etc… playing all roles. That doesn’t mean you need to change the basis of the story - the ton in regency England - to include various ethnicities. Open up the acting roles but don’t change the whole story!![/quote]

+1 The book plot is so much better than the series plot. I think opening it up to various ethnicities is great. Those are two separate issues. And the plot changes had nothing to do with making it more suited to different ethnicities.

I disagree.  The bee thing in the book was so cringey!  None of the other plots were in the book at all.  Not very much happens in the boo  at all.  They flirt, they get forced to get married.  They have basically one conversation about trauma and they're magically fixed.[/quote]
