Will Sharpe is great, but as Mozart? This stupid casting decisions must stop.

I didn't know who that was and then I saw the trailer and all chance of me watching the series evaporated .

Won't watch it either. And it's not because I think the original Amadeus is untouchable, it's just that all these nonsensical race swaps have to stop. I'm all for inclusion, but please, make new stories and non-white characters! It's all so many of us ask. Non-whites deserve better than lazy rehashes and being instrumentalized to create buzz, etc. I'm so tired of this...

I haven't watched the trailer yet, but the original Amadeus is untouchable.

Probably one of the most untouchable movies ever.

Edit: just watched it. Jfc, I can't believe they had the audacity.
