I'd watch Bridgerton and its not!regency perioding only because I've wanted black aristocrats ever since seeing Neverwhere and being pissed that the Marquis de Carabas wasn't a real marquis. Espeially since there's no reason he shouldn't be: London Under has its own aristocracy, Londinium was always a melting pot, nothing says its aristos must be lily-white. At least give us the Chevalier de Saint-Georges without nasty Napoleon getting in the way. But I gather it's a streaming service? and I don't stream, and the books are different, and have 1800 holds for 35 copies etc etc. Besides being too not!regency even for me, judging by a previewed first chapter of book 1. Pity. It's a nice idea.
