My favorite Black couples in Period Films/Series.
An anon recently asked me about my favorite Black couples in period films/series. I have a few! Some of which come along with trigger warnings and a bit of a heads up on not so happy endings. Some of these couples have happy endings, some have endings that leave you wondering, and some have beautiful relationships that ended tragically.
Happy Endings (To me anyway.)
Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) & Rachel Robinson (Nicole Beharie) in 42 (2013).
Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) & Colonel Jim Johnson (Mahershala Ali) in Hidden Figures (2016).
Chicken George (Regé-Jean Page) & Matilda (Erica Tazel) in Roots (2016).
Marie Ste. Marie (Nicole Lyn) & Richard Lermontant (Jason Olive) in The Feast of All Saints (2001).
The characters in this miniseries go through a lot. TW for SA.
Not So Happy Endings (SPOILER-ISH!!)
Rosalee (Jurnee Smollett) & Noah (Aldis Hodge) in Underground (2016-2017).
Canceled on a cliffhanger.
Tish Rivers (KiKi Layne) & Alonzo 'Fonny' Hunt (Stephan James) in If Beale Street Could Talk (2018).
The ending isn’t definite. I choose to think positively about their story.
Cora William (Thuso Mbedu) & Royal (William Jackson Harper) in The Underground Railroad (2021).
This story ends tragically.
Roots: The Next Generations (1979) has generations of a few sweet relationships that I enjoy watching.
