Remember that secret stuffed into Elektra’s steamer trunk?

(“Gray is not a skin tone.

You have hit epidermal rock bottom!")

Every TV series loves a wedding, andPoseis no exception.

It’s powerful representation draped in frivolous fun.

“Your bride is unlike any other,” Elektra tells Papi.

“She will be the first.

The first from a community that has been excluded from ‘happily ever after.'”

There is plenty of pain amidst the joy and glamour: Addiction, injustice, death.

“But I do believe in happy moments.”
