Bridgerton is awesome! It's a series on Netflix

[jimfields33]

The show is from the creator of Gray’s and how to get away with murder. I’m only on episode four. I think many may like it.

1. Haven't started watching it yet, but from what I've seen of the trailers and interviews about the

series, I expect to love it.

[jimfields33]

10. You are honestly in for a treat.

I’m obsessed with it. Ha. Yes it’s that good.

2. I was up most of the night

Watching it. I’ve read all JQ’s books and was excited to see it on screen. I am really struggling this morning as I am definitely not a night person. But I just couldn’t stop!!

[jimfields33]

9. I don't blame you.

The only thing that stopped me from watching all 8 in a row is that I want to savor them. These are the series that I wish had 22 episodes. Lol.

3. Mrs. Canon is deep into it

It's a romance novel set to the screen.

[jimfields33]

11. You should join her. You might surprise yourself.

[CanonRay]

19. I have been.

It's ok, a little formulaic.

[jimfields33]

22. I agree. But I really am intrigued by that way of life historically

Obviously loosely based. I’m actually surprised that the women have a voice so much. It’s really cool. The men try to control but the women do seem to actually control.

4. I throughly enjoyed it. nt

[jimfields33]

14. Can't wait for season 2

Yep I still have 4 episodes to watch and already hope they get the crew and actors back to work tomorrow. Lol.

5. You'll never believe what happens in the season finale!

6. Overall I enjoyed it, but the reason given (no spoilers)

For not fathering any children seemed contrived and sophomoric. The intimate sex scenes were adult and well done without being tawdry.

As in any good story, it's the supporting characters and all the convoluted subplots that added depth to the story. The ending was neatly done, tying up all the loose ends to finish with such of completion.

[jimfields33]

12. I agree about the secondary characters being of most interest

The show has a way of pulling you in. I’m loving it.

7. So want to watch this

Been watching Velvet which is excellent if you don’t mind reading subtitles.

13. You will be so pleased you did.

I can watch subtitles if the show or movie is good.

15. Started this last night...

After watching AVATAR in Extended Edition. Forgot how amazing that movie was. Much better than the Hurt Locker .

Cannot wait to watch more of Bridgerton.

[jimfields33]

16. It's a treat that's for sure.

I’m so glad I was told to give it a try. I need to thank that person big time!

[gldstwmn]

17. It's great fun. And all

Of the color in the sets and costumes is amazing. It's a real lift up from all of the other dark shows on TV lately.

[Lunabell]

18. I'm on episode 3.

I am a huge fan of costume dramas and this is fabulous!!! Love it.

20. Very true to Quinn's novels

And I agree, the secondary characters are great, especially Lady Danforth and Penelope Featherton.

21. We started to watch it last night after finishing Queens Gambit which was also very good.

Did anyone but me notice that at the first Deb ball in the first episode the song they were playing was a classical version of Arianna Grande's 'Thank you, Next'? It made me laugh! I also LOVE how the cast is multi racial when normally in these period pieces everyone is white. We're only 2 episodes in but it's a fun watch so far.

23. Finished it last night and the secondary characters kept my interest.

No romance, just f*cking - in the garden, on the stairs, against a wall or two, behind a curtain, at an orgy, and sometimes in bed.
No chemistry between the leads of Simon and Daphne and the actor who played Simon was so wooden I heard woodpeckers. They are not Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen or Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. No "burning" was evident.
Secondary characters - the mothers, Pen, Eloise, and Mrs Danbury, were all more interesting and lively.

That said, I would watch another season.

24. In comparison to other Peak TV series, it gets a B+.

The color-blind casting is a fantastic move.

Still falls prey to many TV Drama tropes, including what I call the "Three's Company" plot device: THE major conflict of the entire series is a misunderstanding that would vanish if the protagonist just explained himself (which he'll eventually do).

It's not "The Great" (which was also color-blind casting), but it's miles ahead of most Peak TV fare.
