Having been tracking Girls the HBO show because I’m a big fan, love TV shows centring female characters who are funny. I’ve been reading a few post saying the shows been criticised for not being very ethnically diverse, personally I don’t think it needs to be? I mean I can’t wholeheartedly relate to all of the characters because I’m an 18 year old Zambian/British girl, but basically the story lines are deeply based on things that happen to most girls. Relationships, careers, sexual stuff (as in body processes) and it just talked about candidly and openly, and also it’s really funny. A nice multicultural cast is lovely, but it’s not needed as long as you can relate on a basic level right? And it’s written really well also, so I think the characters would be strong whatever their ethnicity. Love this show, so yeah just thought I’d share my views.

I love girls, ok.

But look, the lack of diversity is incredibly problematic. Just like a lot of other shows. A bearable storyline/plot/etc doesn’t change that. WE LIVE IN A DIVERSE WORLD. Diversity/various cultures should be expected, not overlooked.

  • The fact that it takes in BROOKLYN and they use just a smidgen of poc extras is ridiculous. 
  • There are tons of lines in there that are totally questionable/scream white privilege
  • There aren’t even any poc with mild storylines. It’s just a completely white circle
  • The show would be 10x better if there were poc, because it would give poc women to relate to.
  • It’s dismissive of the fact that woah, poc women have lives like this too

Starring: Elliot Knight, , , Marama Corlett, , , Junix Inocian
Rated: 6.5/10

Classics will always be ripe for reimagining as producers look for new hits, and after the success of Game of Thrones, and even Merlin, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that a few people consider Sinbad ready for a new era with a slightly darker take on the roving sailor.

Newcomer Elliot Knight stars as Sinbad, a young, street-wise pauper who dabbles in fighting and thievery with his younger brother Jamil, played by Devon Anderson. Sinbad is destined for trouble though as he wins a brawl in the opening scene that mistakenly ends with his opponent’s death. This might not be so bad if it was not for the fact that his opponent was the son of Lord Akbari, played by Naveen Andrews, one of the city’s most powerful men.

To pay back the blood debt, Akbari locks up Sinbad and murders his brother in front of him. While Sinbad does manage to escape, when he returns home to his grandmother Safia, played by , she curses him to roam the seas until he atones for his brother’s death.

Thrown out of his home, the curse leads Sinbad to a new group of cohorts, including the doctor, Anwar (Dimitri Leonidas), Norse trader Gunnar (Elliot Cowan), the lady, Nala (Estella Daniels), a thief named Rina (Marama Corlett), and the ship’s cook (Junix Inocian).
