Bridgerton S4, and how Star Trek and Game of Thrones are trying to land new audiences
Michelle Cho, University of Toronto professor and pop culture critic, weighs in on representation and story choices. Jackson Weaver, senior entertainment writer, brings skeptical media analysis. Roxana Hadadi, entertainment journalist, highlights tone and worldbuilding. They discuss Bridgerton’s Cinderella storyline and East Asian lead, Dunk and Egg’s low-key Game of Thrones prequel, and Starfleet Academy’s teen-tinged reinvention of Star Trek.
