Viewers Rediscover the Progressive Themes of Dr. Quinn
Original: I’ve seen the first two episodes of Dr. Quinn so far and I’m impressed with how progressive it is so far as anti-racist
A viewer watching the 1990s series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman for the first time says the opening episodes are impressively anti-racist and anti-sexist for a show made more than three decades ago. They are avoiding spoilers to see whether the early episodes' progressive storylines hold up across the rest of the series, prompting discussion about how well older television has aged on social issues.
Why now: A first-time viewer's fresh assessment of a classic 1990s show has renewed conversation about how its social themes hold up today.
