The Hummingbird Paints Fragrant Songs 

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.

Red, White and Royal Blue still does not have an official release date. However, the cast has been sharing pictures of their filming.

At its heart, it’s a fond tribute to an influential artist and thus one that can speak to everyone’s inner artist, even if it lacks the sincere commentary you may wish to see.

The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.

From the cinematography to the script to the acting, Sorry, Baby is undoubtedly one of the best films of the year.
