Welcome to God at the Movies! We're glad you're here. Co-hosts Danielle Strickland and James Sholl spend this season diving deep into popular movies and TV shows and what's being said about culture today. The base from which they approach this task is found in the belief that God is at work redeeming all things everywhere.
This weeks content is on the ShondaLand hit Bridgerton spinoff, Queen Charlotte.
The spin-off miniseries revolving around Queen Charlotte consists of two plot lines: one in the present of Bridgerton, beginning in 1817 with the death of the royal heir Princess Charlotte, an event that causes the Queen to pressure her children to marry and produce another royal heir; the other begins in 1761 with Charlotte meeting and marrying King George. The latter explores the King and Queen's marriage and his mental illness.
