Bridgerton!👑

Hiya delightful tv and movies community, how are we doing today?💛

I recently finished watching this show called Bridgerton on Netflix, after finally giving into all the hype about it hehe. 

Still trying to fully formulate an opinion if I actually like-like it or not, so would like to hear from others as well. 

For the most part, I think the show is great, and the hype is somewhere deserved hehe, but it was a slow-to grow on me kinda show for me, the first few episodes of every season, at least.😅

👑 If you've watched it already, how did you like it, overall?

👑 Out of the three seasons/ stories, which one stood out more for you? Because?

👑 Favorite character(s)? Because? 

👑 Do you have any alternate endings or storylines in mind about it? (For instance, I would've really liked seeing Eloise's character being given more arc and space through the show

Hiya @jesusredeemedme2425, it's a series on Netflix following the lives of the Bridgerton family, along the themes of romance, family, love, friendship, high-society and royal life stuff hehe. It's a period drama I think, based on 1800s and is likely an adaptation of a novel series. :D

Check out the trailers maybe? for some more idea! 

Love the looks of all the actors involved, very keenly detailed and portrayed! <3

I see we've got another soul who's dipped their toe into the chaotic, corset-filled world of *Bridgerton* after the tidal wave of hype! xD xD Welcome to the ‘we're fashionably late but still fabulous’ club @sunisshiningandsoareyou! 🥳

I totally get the “still deciding if I like-like it” vibe. It's like trying on a frilly dress you're not sure about, but after a few twirls in front of the mirror, you’re like, “Okay, I’m feeling fabulous now, let's do this!” 💃😅 The first few episodes had me like, "Do I really need to see this much hairpin placement?" But by episode 4, I was emotionally invested in those Regency-era dramas like my life depended on it. xD

So let’s dive in, shall we?

🌟Which season/story stole my fragile heart? It’s got to be Season 2 for me! Anthony and Kate? Oh my word, the tension was soo thick!! I was literally yelling in my mind staring at the screen, “JUST ADMIT YOU’RE OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER ALREADY!!” Anddd by the end, their enemies-to-lovers arc had me ready to start writing their wedding vows myself!! xD

🌟 Favorite character? It’s Eloise for me! ☺️ Our girl was like the original TikToker, spilling the tea and dropping truth bombs while everyone else was trying to figure out which duke to marry. 😏 I swear, if she lived in modern times, she'd be leading protests and making viral videos on why the patriarchy is overrated. Eloise is the feminist icon we deserve in every century!

🌟 Alternate endings? Oh, don’t even get me started! I wanted Eloise to run away and start a feminist society where she teaches women how to overthrow the patriarchy with sharp wit and fan snapping alone. Or better yet, she could team up with Lady Whistledown to create a Regency-era tabloid that takes no prisoners. Imagine the chaos!! 

And while we're at it, why did we not get more *dancing drama*? I was waiting for some kind of wild, slow-motion ballroom showdown where someone accidentally knocks over the punch bowl. Or better yet, Daphne and Simon break into a full rap battle mid-ball lol.💃🕺🎤

But but, even with all the slow build-up and missed opportunities, *Bridgerton* managed to pull me in like a Regency-era vacuum. I’m officially hooked, and now I await Season 4 like it's my wedding day. xD xD

What about you Shiniee Sunniiee? Any wild plot twists or dream endings you thought/thinking about?

@VaryingCloud

Hahahahahah I honestly had a speechless moment for how beautifully and poetically you framed this response, Cookie Cloudieeee!🥰

Yussss xD the tidal wave got me lol, and now this corset-of-rooting-for-the-Bridgertons-is-stuckkkk xD hehe thank youu for welcoming me to the best club 😛- ‘we're fashionably late but still fabulous’~ yussss, we are!👯‍♀️🤝

Hahah I love the twirling in a frilly dress analogy and yesss, you got it perfectly rightt! 

Goodness yes xD too many corsets and too many hairpins xD I felt vicariously suffocated for all of them wearing those lol! 

I can relate to the life depending feel lolll, it did feel like that! (Okay Kate and Anthony, just confess alreadyyyy!!😠😭) 

 🤣 “JUST ADMIT YOU’RE OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER ALREADY!!” ~ same! 

My my Cloudieeee, all invested I see. :P Can't blame you lol, there's something just so engaging about these enemies to lovers arc xD I'm all for it too!😂 (if you've already written their vows, imma want to readddd too!😛) 

Ayeee same :0 Eloise's character is so so so good and relatable xD I totally agree, she'd be leading those protests and yes, we'd gladly follow and support! "Yassss Kweeen!👑"

Omgee you have really thought about it and superrr spot on, as always hehe. I think Eloise would carry it out perfectly as you described and now how I wish we have an entire season of Eloise Bridgerton embracing the Queen she is without needing no King by her side!🥰

"some kind of wild, slow-motion ballroom showdown where someone accidentally knocks over the punch bowl"~ imagining this now and yussss, we WANT this!😂

"Daphne and Simon break into a full rap battle mid-ball lol.💃🕺🎤"~ Goodness, you're full of awesome plots and storylines, Cloudie xD someone should onboard you to the creative team of the series already!😭♥️

"...like it's my wedding day. xD xD" ~ I look forward to some ballroom dancing, wearing a corset and many hair pins for your wedding too!😛🥰😂

But oof sooo agree with you on everything!😭 I can sense your excitement ahah and rightfully served, cannot wait for the next seasons to come either!🥳

'What about you Shiniee Sunniiee? Any wild plot twists or dream endings you thought/thinking about?"

I dunno, I just had this feeling that maybe Eloise would team up with Lady Whistledown and enhance the chaos in the Royal-world lol. That would be awesome to see.

Ooh and for some very brief moments, it also seemed that maybe Eloise could be romantically interested in Penelope, exploring this storyline would've been intriguing too. Imagine Pen feeling not so attractive or significant to be seen by people and always finding herself in the corners, and then suddenly, two super amazing people (Eloise and Colin) confessing to her and making her feel like the center of their universe!👀

Hehe this was superrrr fun to read and respond to, Cloudieeee, your enthusiasm and charm never ceases to amaze me!🤗♥️

(And I know it took a lot of effort to post your reply lol, so extraaa hugglessss for it🤗🤗🤗)

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou. I have watched all 3 seasons which I liked. I also watched Queen Charlotte which is about her young life. I liked it as well and would recommend it to Bridgerton fans.I liked all of the seasons but the story of the short chubby girl finding love was most special to me. I’m a shorty and I was rooting for her 🥰. My favorite character is Penelope it was nice to have a character who didn’t look like a model.

Hey there @adventurousBranch3786, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yussss, I watched Queen Charlotte first too hehe and certainly recommended to the Bridgerton fans! :D 

Aww I'm glad you found some sense of relatability in Penelope's character with the short height. But um hello? :0 "someone not looking like a model"?! I get what you mean, we are more used to a certain body-type for models/ featuring in magazines and media; so to see someone looking different, petite, someone embracing their beautiful curves and seen as someone attractive and romantically desirable still,  truly does feel like a personal win! 

Pen is soooo pretty though!

In all honesty, I feel everyone's sooo beautiful in their own way. And I'm glad us hoomans don't look alike xD uniquely-amazing, each one!💛

Soooo happy for Pen and Colin too hehe, they make an adorable couple.🥰

Love season 1. Love the queen's headdresses more though. Especially the swan headdress in season 3. So epic.

@whimsicalBlossom76

Ooh yes the headdresses have a separate fanbase loL. How did she wear such heavy ones though. Too too artistic so props to the dresser and the actress for wearing them so gracefully!🥰
