Romance and Gender

I loved watching Birgerton, so it was definitely enjoyable to talk all bout it. Besides talking about all the aspects that we loved, we also talked about the messages that Brigerton presented.  I definitely did not think about Birgerton’s implications on race and gender when I was watching it, so it was really interesting to look at the series in a different light than a romance tv-series. The discussion brought up really interesting views on Daphne and Simeon’s relationship. When I watched the series, I viewed their relationship and actions in rose-colored glasses.

  1. Although I did not attend this event I would have loved to hear about the takeaways from the discussion on race and gender roles in a series that is set during a time where those two topics were very controversial.
