An Open Letter to Netflix Original, “Troy: Fall of a City”: We Feel Some Kinda Way

I don’t know about you, but we watched Troy: Fall of a City, the Netflix/BBC original series, and feel some kinda way about it. Nobody plans to binge watch a period piece about the Greeks and the tragedy of Troy in a few hours, but now here we are and we gonna talk about it. There is so much to love about this show. Don’t trip, Renee and Ja-Quan got you with dem spoilers ahead. *Sets timer* *DEEP INHALE* Renee The costuming yoooo

 We are truly blessed with the detailed costuming that this Netflix original holds. Vibrant colors, intricate metalwork and earthy materials are all over this piece. The goddess certainly smiled down on us when she outfitted long-legged Trojan soldiers like Aeneas in t-shirt dresses with metal vests and knee high boots, though, too. Did all Myrmidons back in the day have thicc thighs? All I gotta say is thank you Aphrodite, for the eye candy. We’ll send over a sacrifice in the form of Paris’ boring-ass frock post haste. Let’s not forget the simple but beautiful outfits worn by the ladies of Troy. Helen stay lookin’ like a snack in her seashell accented headpieces. Boss-ass gods

Yaaaaassssss Melanin heroes! My African queen and king! Let me just bask in the glory that is a black Zeus calling the shots all over this show. Show ‘em who’s boss, brother, we are not worthy. Also, I cannot get over the badass goddess of war, Athena. Girl, your lipstick is on point and also that killer cat eye is a vibe, let me tell you. No one has to tell me that shit doe…
