The discussion surrounding the meandering plot of a fan-favorite series just reminds me of how much I dislike reviewing a show when only a handful of episodes are sent out in advance. If the back half of that season is a letdown, well…

As a longtime

fan, I'm so excited to be recapping #QueenCharlotte over at

@Collider

! First up, Episode 1, which features the sweetest garden meet-cute:

collider.com

'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' Episode 1 Recap: I Think I Wanna Marry You

The 'Bridgerton' spin-off begins in high fashion, with a garden meet-cute and a shift in society.

Why, why, why are publications still doing this in 2023? Sure, these authors put their work on the public internet, but they did so in a specific context—to be read by other fans intentionally seeking their work, not to be patronizingly highlighted by New York Magazine. 🫠

History repeats itself. In 2007, UK and Canadian writers JUMPED at the opportunity to cross the picket line on a US show. I hope actors will join the picket line and refuse to film like Steve Carell did when The Office tried to continue production. cbc.ca/arts/commotion

there are no stupid questions here. at this time we're not asking people to boycott any platforms. boycotts (like strikes) take a lot of work to organize. right now our focus is on an effective strike that stops ALL WRITING & shows the studios they cannot function without us

I don't think folks understand that TV writing is far from over when the script is turned in. There's on-the-set rewrites, ADR, etc. Just because your favorite show has their scripts written doesn't mean they're done, by any means.
