Page 2 | To be completely underwhelmed by Bridgerton?

All the hype.... And it's as dull as ditchwater. Absolutely no sexual tension, or shagging, or anything exciting. What happened?

It’s likely poorly paced and plotted fan fiction.

I loved the Queen Charlotte one. And enjoyed the Season one and two well enough.

But I think I've ruined the show for myself now by reading the books. Changing the sex of one of the characters from the books, and the sexuality of two of the characters just grated on me as it was so different.

I agree. Let’s just tell the same heterosexual love story 100,000 times. That’s what would be really entertaining.

I am too. I wished they just stuck to the books and went with Benedict. I loved his story with Sofie and the glove. Then Colin's story could be next season's. Also what was all of this with Benedict? So now he doesn't want to be with that woman and wants to be with that man instead.

Season one I loved but since then rubbish

TheDandyLion · 15/06/2024 22:13

I'm only about 3 episodes in and I'm a bit bored.

I agree. I took a leap of faith to watch it because I like historically accurate period dramas not silly modern ones (I could have wept at the recent Netflix Persuasion which destroyed everything about the novel) - I lasted 10 minutes.

It's not at all accurate, you gave to take it as it is to enjoy it.

I liked it but without giving too much away, I preferred the big reveal in the book. I think some of the nuances of a character feeling envious and then the mutual appreciation of each others writing didn't really come across in the show.

Summerose · 15/06/2024 22:07

I liked Season 1, but even then, it felt just a little "off." But now it's definitely off and gone into tacky territory. There's so much hype around the sex scene in the latest released episodes, but I found them so cringe I had to forward the scene. I found it all too "try hard" and felt so embarrassed for the actors 🤦‍♀️.

It's all very restrained. And wooden af.

I've only watched the first half so far but I agree, not a patch on season 1 or 2

SilentSilhouette · 15/06/2024 22:02

No shagging?!?! Have you watched episode 5?!?!

Not a patch on the first season!

Assuming we’re talking about season 3: Part 1 was dull. I thought Part 2 was cracking.

ringoftruth · 15/06/2024 21:35

Eh? What Bridgerton did you watch that there was no shagging? How much shagging were you hoping for? 😳

TheNewSchmoo · 15/06/2024 21:34

Good for you. I loved it. People have different likes. Shocker.

cmforfun · 15/06/2024 21:34

I do agree I was a bit bored at times. Eloise is brilliant though!
