Interesting to me that none of the reviews I’ve seen have mentioned that people with obvious Negro heritage have been cast in the roles of English people.
I guess if they can get away with that “Hamilton” nonsense, they can get away with anything.

I've seen only the Netflix "teaser," and quite naturally assumed - due to the preponderance of Black people in the story - that this was science-fiction of the type exemplified by "Game of Thrones."

Started to watch it. It is really really bad.
So bad it was laughable.
Save yourself some time and keep your IQ where it is.

Will not watch. Judging by the preview pictures, this production suffers from the Barry and Big Mike diversity mandate at Netflix, to the point of laughable historical inaccuracy.

The author of the series Julia Quinn has praised the casting decision, telling People magazine that “it's incredibly important”. She also explained that the show’s inclusion of Queen Charlotte - a real historical figure believed to have had “significant African ancestry” - was a powerful move that could help reimagine what the Regency period could have looked like. "What if this was actually recognized and accepted at the time? What if she had used her position to elevate people of color to positions of power? What would society look like then?"So, she's admitting that it's science-fiction - on the level of "Man in the High Castle."
Okay, if you like that sort of thing...

The 17-year-old Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz appealed to him as a prospective consort partly because she had been brought up in an insignificant north German duchy [...]
Yeah, and we all know how insignificant north German duchies were just crawling with African immigrants in the early 18th Century!

Bit disappointed a so called conservative webzine is approving of Bonkerton. In my mind this revisionist crap is another Woke assault on our cherished cultural traditions.

The hypocrisy of so many of today’s movie makers is evident in this Netflix melodrama. While it is currently considered bad and an act of cultural appropriation when /if a “white” person is cast in a role that history suggests was really a “black” person, but the same cast of characters that demand all of that have no problem with a “black” person in a role that history suggests was occupied by a “white” person.
Someone being politically correct and being a hypocrite are synonymous today.
