Do you love shows with commentary on the Witch trials? Do you want authentic autistic representation?

Well look no further friends, because I have the show for you!

It’s called A Kind of Spark and it’s based on a middle grade novels (with a recently released prequel).

It follows Addie Darrow, a newly high-school freshman living in a small Scottish town called Juniper. Also, she’s autistic. In class she learns about the witch trials and its connection to her local area, which results into her latest hyperfixation.

We watch as Addie makes friends, faces discrimination, all while advocating for a memorial for the women persecutated during the trials.

We also get flashbacks to a pair of sisters living during this time. The two stories run in tandem, and are really cool to watch!

It’s entirely free to watch through BYU tv both on website and through a mobile app! I highly, HIGHLY recommend. It’s a ten out of ten show. It’s a bit cheese but I love it.

Just finished binging Saving Me season 1 for 2 days from 3/22/23-3/23/23

It's actually good and it needs more love. The writing, animation and voice acting was great. I was able to watch in BYUtv via VPN since I live in The Philippines.

I love Sophie being a sassy baby sister. Liam's a pretty funny and cool older brother.

I love the post credits where Bennett found the secret elevator to DGS.

Bennett and Penelope's relationship gives me Karmiro vibes.

The Spider Man 3 dance reference during the season 1 finale got me laughing.

BYUtv will start including LGBTQ characters on its TV shows after Canadian writers and producers voiced concerns.

Apparently Canada requires diversity in the film & television production it subsidizes with tax breaks and other government funding. BYUtv and the Hallmark Channel went without notice of violating these policies by having unwritten rules about not including LGBTQ characters on its channels. But a story was printed that brought to light this unwritten rule.

The Canadian government threatened to cancel tax breaks, the Writers Guild of Canada and other unions, guilds, production companies and funding agencies made strong statements against homophobic, racist, ableist, and sexist broadcasters and production companies with a call to cut their funding.

Suddenly, BYYtv went from saying “our audience isn’t ready” for LGBTQ characters to getting LGBTQ characters on the upcoming series Overlord And The Underwoods and in the future seasons The Parker Andersons & Amelia Parker which is currently airing on BYUtv

2022 will be 25 years since Ellen Degeneres’ character on the sitcom Ellen came out in 1997. And that’s probably the year we start seeing queer characters on BYUtv. which seems on track for LDS Church.

Also, the idea that BYUtv was able to avoid others knowing it had a spoken rule discriminating against queer characters but on paper there was nothing to suggest that such characters would not be allowed reminds me of last year’s Honor Code debacle where the entire section forbidding homosexual actions on campus or by BYU students was removed from the Honor Code, but a “clarification” said the rules remain in place even though they no longer appear in the Honor Code.

This first crack which allows queer characters on BYUtv is brought to us courtesy of outside influence, both in terms of a potential increase in the cost of creating programming for the channel, but also from the unions, guilds and other organizations that cover the many creative workers it takes to create television shows. And some bad press, too. This is, sadly, too often what it takes.
