In the last post I wrote about Bridgerton, I admitted I wasn’t taken by this series nearly to the same extent everyone and their mother seems to be. Bridgerton is, apparently, the show right now, and it’s all I see anytime I check my social media channels.
Granted, algorithms don’t help with this, but regardless, the world itself has been taken by storm by the Bridgerton family and their friends.
When I wrote my last post about the show, it was, in reflection, more of a review of my thoughts pertaining to the first season as opposed to the show in its entirety. I was halfway through the second season when I wrote the last post, but I hadn’t finished the series. As of now, I’ve watched season one through three, as well as Queen Charlotte, so I believe now would be a better time to give my thoughts of the series seeing as only now I’ve finished it.
I will say, with confidence, that the first season is my least favourite, and that is arguably why my opinion of the entire series was a wee bit clouded by my impression of the initial season. Personally, I found the tumultous relationship between Daphne and simon to be borderline exhausting, but the relationship between Kate and Antony in the second season is one I enjoyed more.
The relationship between Penelope and Colin in the third season is my favourite, as is the third season overall.
Overall, I do have to say that Bridgerton as a production is remarkable. Between the set designs, the music, the constumes, the hair and makeup, and, of course, the beauty of the English language spoken in the Regency period in history are all more than reason to appreciate this show, and now that I’ve finished it, I might have to watch it again. I just might skip the first season.
