Jess is Latinx and a DREAMer. She's brilliant, with a resourceful mind, a natural knack for puzzles and a love for a good mystery.

In search of answers about her family, she winds up embarking on an adventure that will see her uncover the truth about her parents and her own buried history and save a lost Pan-American treasure.

Series based on the "National Treasure" movies.

Re: National Treasure: Edge of History

After watching the trailer I'm not sure... I fear the show's focus is too much on a young adult audience.

I was just waiting for a comment like this. big_smile

All the show's characters can be Latinx for all I care, at least as long as it's a good show! smile

Glad I didn't disappoint lol

The real question is why that one particular superficial thing is THE most important quality of the central character, so much so, it's the very first thing they want you to know about her..

Really? Her race is THE most important thing? The fact she is smart and resourceful are secondary to her race lol

Also, Spanish is a gendered language, all nouns in it have a gender. Trying to force made up gender neutral words into such a deep rich culture is honestly, disgusting.

But I agree completely, I don't care who is in the damn thing, as long as its good but if thats what they are focused on and the the most important thing about the main character, I highly doubt it's going to be.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, I actually really like the franchise.

Re: National Treasure: Edge of History

yeah, I saw jokes about it some time ago, again Americans managed to pull "a problem" from a thin air, I assume because latino/latina are gender binary, must be it big_smile

I read it as an attempt to REALLY make sure the show finds its (intended) target audience. smile

Interestingly, the IMDb show info doesn't mention the Latinx aspect. I don't know where that part of the show info came from.

Doubt it, it's just Disney, same mental disorder as Netflix has - some diversity department with clowns running it.

Upd: They are re-imagining tomorrow (that's called also brainwashing and propaganda): https://impact.disney.com/diversity-inclusion/
