I made it as far as episode 3.
It didn't bother me that they turned the housekeeper Mrs. Grose into a negro. I can handle a tiny bit of that.
But then in episode 2 we get a look at an old photo of Quint and Miss Jessel and lo and behold we have an interracial couple. Okay, backstory. I can handle a black Miss Jessel.
Strange that she's not evil in this version. Instead she's angelic, highly educated woman who left her law career because of rapey men
And the Indian guy who wants to fuck the bald, Ayana Pressley looking Ms Grose. No problem, he's funny.
But when they turned The Governess gay and hooked her up with a dyke groundskeeper I noped on out.
At least they left the villan, Peter Quint, as a hetetosexual white male.

Read about this earlier today. Didn't know they had "updated" The Turn Of The Screw. So Henry James is down. Which White author is next?
