Amazon's 'The Widow': Will Kate Beckinsale's drama be just another stereotypical portrayal of Africa?
The stereotyped representation of Africa isn't anything new when it comes to TV and big screens, but we hope 'The Widow' will be different despite the teaser suggesting otherwise
The released trailer of Kate Beckinsale's upcoming TV series, 'The Widow' gave away a lot of the plotlines, but that isn't the worry when it comes to watching the highly anticipated Amazon Prime Original's yet another star-studded show, coming after Julia Robert's 'Homecoming'.
The premise of the story revolves around the widow, named Georgia Wells, played by Beckinsale, who embarks on a journey to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, three years after her husband, Will Mason (Matthew Le Nevez), allegedly died in a plane crash. After spotting him on TV, she goes on a hunt, literally, carrying guns and ready to channel her inner Selene (Underworld).
