Well, here I got considering watching a whole show because of a split-second of ladies kissing in the trailer. Apple TV is releasing “The Buccaneers,” a period drama/romance/girl power story inspired by Edith Wharton’s last novel by the same name. Set in 1870, the show follows a group of young New York debutantes who travel to London to find their place in high society. Yes, most of the trailer is aggressively straight. It’s got some real “Bridgerton” vibes going as well, but younger? I’m not generally a traditional period romance person (except when cooking and/or gays are involved). So, at least there is the latter in the form of trans actress Josie Totah and English actress Mia Threapleton (who just so happens to be Kate Winslet’s daughter). The cast also includes Christina Hendricks and if the show doesn’t take full advantage of the decolletage then, come on, what are we even doing here? So, gonna watch on Apple TV come Nov. 8? Let us all hope for some mutual bodice ripping in our futures.
