Episode 108: "Thanks for never smashing my dad!" Queen Charlotte review with Star S. and Marquice G.

Welcome back F.A.B. friends!! This week, the ladies are joined by two of their new faves, Star S. and Marquice G. They dig into the Netflix sereis Queen Charoltte! The New York Times describes the show as follows: "With her withering glares and colossal wigs, Queen Charlotte has become a treasured character in the first two seasons of “Bridgerton,” the steamy hit Netflix series set in an alternate, racially diverse version of Regency Era Britain. As played by Golda Rosheuvel, she is a hard-line matriarch with an ear for gossip and an eye for beauty. Now she is the subject of her own six-episode Netflix prequel series, “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” tells the tale of young Charlotte (India Amarteifio) as she begins her rise to power. Viewers witness her whirlwind marriage to King George III, meet her delinquent children and come to better understand her motivations and loneliness. They also get plenty of glimpses into the royal bedchamber." Whew, get ready to sip some tea and have some laughs as the ladies giggle and gossip about sex, love, female solidarity, and creating art in a mostly male space. Cheers!!
