December Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss9 of 21
"A Suitable Boy" | Premieres Monday, Dec. 7 on Acorn TV
Plot: Directed by Mira Nair, "A Suitable Boy" is centered on Lata, a young woman in post-colonial India who tries to balance her family's wishes and her desires on her journey to find love.
Our Take: Produced by the BBC, Mira Nair's first TV series "A Suitable Boy" premiered in the UK in July, across most of the world on Netflix in October, and finally in the US this December on Acorn TV. Over the past couple of months, audiences have criticized the show's adaption of Vikram Seth's bestselling novel and the representation of Indian culture. I plan on watching the series to better understand the controversy and form my own opinion. — Sneha
