Dear Internet, Stop Sending NSFW Videos to the ‘Bridgerton’ Casting Director

Today I woke up to the sad news that my email inbox Bridgerton Casting director Kelly Valentine Hendry is 90% filled with NSFW videos. Before today, I didn’t even know who Kelly Valentine Hendry was; and yet, now I know both her name and her terrible daily reality (deleting sex tapes between handfuls of Cheerios, I guess). In an episode of the podcast Should I delete this?She suggested that aspiring actors sent her NFSW “audition tapes” in order to get a role in Bridgerton“I get these amazing videos, unsolicited,” she said. “It’s sex, basically. Not sex, but it’s pretty powerful what I get. It’s not nude photos, but it’s close. It’s really sad.”

Last time I checked, Bridgerton It’s not just hardcore porn accompanied by a string quartet version of “thank u, next!”. Yes, the sex in the show brings the kids together and reveals a more risqué side of Regency England, but Bridgerton Actors also have to be emotional. When they’re not busy performing digitizing-pressing acts, they have to say believable things like “I’m burning for you, Colin” and “That’s discrimination; student discounts should apply to alumni too.” Sorry, the second thing is just something I said today that still makes me angry.

What I mean is: don’t send casting directors unsolicited NSFW videos, internet! That’s harassment. Also, here are four other sex-filled shows you can watch to get your rocks off.

Elite

If you haven’t heard of this insane guilty pleasure, then get your life together! The final season is about to drop, bringing this teen kissing fest to a close. While the show may have taken a quantum leap after season 1, it’s still the most hilarious and ridiculous celebration of rich Spanish kids on television. A bisexual footballer dating the same guy as his son? True! A sex-positive YouTuber showing up to math class in a bra and starting fights? True! A weekday climactic party at the end of every episode with a hired DJ and a state-of-the-art sound system, even if it’s a Tuesday and for high schoolers? Of course! Regardless, the show is full of sex, in every variety and combination you can imagine. Watch Elite on Netflix.

True Blood

My Roman Empire is this scene of True Blood where Alexander Skarsgard kisses a guy named Talbot, turns him around and hits him from behind with a giant wooden stake, killing him, because he’s a vampire. While it’s certainly not the bloodiest or most shocking scene in True BloodThis is perhaps the most memorable scene involving sex. However, there are plenty of other sweaty scenes in this series that range from the mild to the carnal. There’s even a city-wide orgy administered by a mystical clawed hypnotist. It’s iconic. Watch True Blood on Hulu and Max.

Orange is the new black

The series opens with a shot of Taylor Schilling and Laura Prepon making out topless in the shower, and it doesn’t end there. The show is set in a prison, after all. Sure, the focus is on the characters and their various tragedies and adventures, but sex drives things. At one point, Natasha Leggero will make you question your sexuality, even if you’re already into women. Her 24-karat rizz will inspire you to up your game and hit on the next 200 people you see. Watch Orange is the new black on Netflix.

The House OrF Flowers

Yes, I include two Spanish-language series in this short list, because the Mexican telenovela THE The House of Flowers is full of jaw-dropping sex and deserves to be mentioned! Sure, it’s also hilarious and touching and raw and surreal, as telenovelas tend to be, but sex is a huge part of this show’s DNA. At weddings, funerals, in bathrooms, at crime scenes… The characters will stop at nothing to get hot with each other. Oh, and I should mention that there is a lot of queer representation, ensuring that every color of the rainbow is represented. And maybe I should also mention the show’s absolute dad, Juan Pablo Medina, who is serving up Gay George Clooney at home. Watch The House of Flowers on Netflix.
