attempt on one of the most polarising political figure. It is the story of the feud within
the family, which erupts after said assassination attempt. Blurring the lines between

narrative.

X is a British period drama on Netflix. The show was first conceived as an epic
war-drama, but was later set to stay faithful to the source material. With a viewership of
82 million households, it has become the most-watched series on Netflix. The drama
takes place in London, centering on an aristocratic family. Unlike the novels, X is set in an
alternate history with a racially integrated London where people of color are members of
the ton, some with titles granted by the sovereign.
Creator Chris Van Dusen was inspired by historical debate over the 1940s African ancestry
claims of Queen Charlotte “...to base the show in an alternative history in which Queen
Charlotte's mixed race heritage was not only well-established but was transformative for
Black people and other people of color in England.” Van Dusen says the series is not
“color-blind” because “that would imply that color and race were never considered, when
color and race are part of the show.”
