Anyone else watching Bridgerton?

[Merryoldgoat]

I discovered it today and I can’t stop.

I know it’s drivel but it’s beyond fun and exactly what I needed.

Me! Watched it all evening. Absolutely rubbish plot but great escapism. Will probably polish off the rest over the weekend.

I've commented on a thread in telly addicts. I binge watched the lot. Magic!

Gave up after 10 minutes. Awful crap, seems to have been made for the less discerning US viewer.

Happy to wear the mantle of ‘less discerning viewer’ 👍🏽

It was tosh. Fucking loved it.

It’s worth watching for Lord Hastings alone frankly.

Watched ALL of it tonight - loved it, great escapism - good acting

Perfect for Christmas 🎄

Oh so glad you are enjoying it - we eat late and played games so haven't watched it yet but will start tomorrow!

I'm loving it. Jane Austen it isn't but I don't care. It's great fun.

Haven’t started watching it yet but so looking forward to it. Loved the trailer and I’m in dire need of quality nonsense! Here’s to tosh 🥂

I did. Loved it, every second if it.

And Benedict Bridgerton is the stuff dreams are made off.

Benedict Bridgerton is also hot indeed.

I’m hope there’s a second season - I binged the entire thing yesterday as children were occupied with all of their new stuff.

It truly was a magical day 🤣

I'm enjoying it, it's very tongue in cheek. Have you noticed the music yet? A lot of the dances are modern pop tunes played in a regency style.

I very much admire the Duke, especially in motion, quite the swagger in his walk. I can't tell the difference between the two older Bridgerton sons though. I was getting extremely confused with the whole artist sub-plot until I realised it was a different brother from the one in love with the opera singer.

Where will I find it ? Sounds my kind of thing.

ginislife Netflix. It was released yesterday.

I’m suspecting it’s going to be utter tosh, but I highly recommend that everyone watch it immediately because the higher the viewing figures the greater the chance that someone decides to jump on the bandwagon and spend a huge amount on money adapting all of Georgette Heyer.

Yes please to Georgette Heyer adaptations. Love Penelope - hope the series gets recommissioned and we get to her book!

I'm sitting with a second bottle of champagne and the remote to myself and I completely love Bridgerton. It's so pretty and silly and frivolous. Jolly Cooper meets Georgette Heyer.

And oh my, the Duke .

Sigh, Jilly. I corrected that 4 times and seems none of them stuck.

Jilly Cooper meets Georgette Heyer. I’m in!

Silly nonsense. Still watching though.

Oh yes - he’d definitely get me swooning.

Exactly the escapism I needed at the moment, brilliant series.

I watched one episode this afternoon.... I then twigged it was a Shonda Rhimes production, which made perfect sense.

It's utter shite, but I feel the need to watch more

A perfect summary.

Binge watched the whole thing today. Utter nonsense, ridiculous escapism and plenty of opportunities to say "well that's not very Austen"**

I'm enjoying it. Regé-Jean Page who plays Lord Hastings is so easy on the eye isn't he. He reminds me of Tom Ellis.
