![]() The fact that they cast a white girl as her (potential) Eskild makes me more anxious that they think that race isn’t that important when telling an lgbtq+ story. ![]() My main concern with Shay is that they’ll try to do a “colorblind” adaptation and ignore how her being a Black woman cannot be separated from her being a lesbian. I don’t think they’ve done a good job with that at all, and that’s where most of my critiques of Austin come from. ![]() My primary concern has been - as with all the Skams - how they treat their characters of color and those character’s ethnoracial and cultural background. context I do like Austin and for the most part I think it’s fun to watch. Yes, I think they did a decent job of adapting the OG into an U.S. My main concern is that they’ll think adapting Isak’s story (about a white, cis gay Norwegian boy) into Shay’s story (about a Black, cis lesbian Texan) is a simple matter of a copy and paste job. That being said, do I think Austin will do a “bad” job with the crew they have? Not necessarily. I think Austin will only do Shay’s season with the kind of care and nuance it deserves if they hire lgbtq+ women of color, preferably Black lgbtq+ women, as the writers and most of the crew.
