Do you have any suggestions for POC-heavy shows that are set in medieval/period settings?
oh for sure! i have a few that come to mind, but these are only a sample based on shows i have actually seen - i’m ONLY listing tv shows by the way as there are dozens of period drama movies with POC leads and casts.
i’ll invite our other members to reply with any suggestions of their own!
