Spellbound ... available to stream on Hulu... is fine. 🔮

The writing skewed a bit younger than I thought it would (it's along the lines of Free Rein) but it's nice to have a Black female lead plus the cast has good chemistry with each other. I still have a bunch of eps left to watch.

I like to support shows with Black female leads esp young Black women, hence my tuning in to check out this show. (Emily in Paris doesn't even believe Black women exist in Paris so it's nice to have Spellbound throw tomatoes at that bit of misogynoir 🍵)

I haven't seen much chatter about this new show, maybe due to the holiday weekend, but I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

Spellbound 1x10

The way Cece friend zones Benoit is both funny and sad🤣.

I really hope they explore their relationship later in the show, even if they are just meant to be friends.

Benoit is very cold and proper and stiff. And Cece is like his opposite. She's warm, and free and fun. She warms and loosens him up, helps him relax. He helps her work harder and makes her a better dancer. In fact, I think the reason they are so good together is because they make each other better dancers. And myb that's all there is. (my shipping goggles hopes for more.)

But Benoit definitely likes Cece or has a crush on her. You can tell by the way he looks at her:
