[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8200268, member: 27996"] People have varying tolerances for ahistorical elements in period pieces that they are able to assimilate when immersing themselves in a story. Lots of people enjoyed A Knight's Tale. To others it was unwatchable, precisely because it was ahistorical as hell. No other motives need be inferred from either preference. My parents, are both fans of the genre and rather well read on the history of the era. They are what anyone looking at them side by side would call a mixed race couple, and they simply found the ahistorical elements immersion breaking for them. Finding ahistorical elements immersion breaking, just means that they found them immersion breaking. Inferring a racial prejudice to their perception of a show that is adapted from a well known literary genre that prides itself on portraying period historical accuracy in terms of speech, dress, and culture is laughable. If you really believe that the ethnic make up of the British Nobility and upper class in Regency England was the result of atrocious racism, then you have just admitted to a startling degree of historical ignorance. Also just a bit insulting to many fans and authors of the Regency romance genre about the "accessibility" of the books they like. Obviously authors like Stacy Reid could use a few pointers from you. The authors loyal fanbase plus several other factors I listed. But hey maybe you're right, if Netflix did their own Regency Romance series not based on bestselling books, and without Julia Quinn's name attached it surely could have done just as well... I also said it was a bet Netflix could win. If they have hit on a Regency Romance version of A Knight's Tale, then they'll run with what works. [/QUOTE]
