"It's You, That's All" tells the story of a young woman who has locked herself away in the worst kind of solitude, that of the heart, and to whom fate, cruel and capricious, offers one last chance to escape. It is indeed her last chance, as Pauline is about to leave behind this period of her life when anything is still possible. After that, in many ways, it will be too late. Either Pauline suffers and becomes a victim, or her explosive personality pushes her to take action so that the man of her life is finally hers. She therefore decides to devise a plan that, she believes, will allow her to take revenge on Mathieu, the man who abandoned her a few years earlier. But the scheme will get out of hand, and the revenge she had imagined will turn into a whirlwind of misunderstandings and unexpected situations until the final twist, proving once again that the hunter becomes the hunted.

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.
