Hi, I’m thinking of watching Katy Keene because Julia Chan, but I read it’s a spin off of Riverdale, on the cw and a berlanti production, so I’m very wary. Can you tell me if the show is any good? Love your blog, thank you for all your gifs and for keeping us on top of all things femslash :)

Thanks, I try. 🙂

Honestly, no, I think it’s kind of not great. I would not watch it for her unless you suuuuper love her and are tired of rewatching the Lintz arc or something. Having said that, I haven’t watched the last three eps yet so maybe it dramatically improves. It’s not the Riverdale-ness that’s weird, the show itself is this mawkish faux period piece that doesn’t really pull off what it’s attempting, but maybe there’s something to be said for the effort. It’s plain drama, by the way, no weird Riverdale stuff. And the characters are all in their twenties, nobody pretending to be in high school.

But yeah, if it’s just for her, aside from getting to hear her actual British accent, she is probably the least focused on character in the main bunch. She is bi and has female partners (and male) but it’s…  ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Is there wlw in katy keene

There was nothing in the pilot but the kiss that’s in the New York trailer happens in the second ep, when Pepper, that blonde British socialite character, is revealed to have a girlfriend. 

Pepper played of course by the actress who played Maggie in Saving Hope! She goes by Julia Chan now, if you watched then she was known as Julia Taylor Ross but I guess has changed her name since. Her girlfriend Didi is played by Candace Maxwell. I don’t suppose they’ll have a ton of screentime, Pepper seems to be the least important of the main four characters and the style and tone of the show mean there’ll never be much depth or introspection, but eh, it is what it is.
