In reply to CELIA. Celia: I hear you. It is LUSH (love that word) to watch. There is some good meaty (not explicit) scenes between Daphne and the Duke. As a 50ish person, I thought they were well handled. The realities of marriage are addressed and you will enjoy Daphne and her mother talking. Also, Daphene grows up fast and she is not afraid to address things with the Duke instead of the typical trope of a simple misunderstanding keeping them apart. What is keeping them apart comes from a very real place for the Duke. I hope you enjoy it.

I literally joined Netflix just to watch Bridgerton! Nothing else had enticed me in to the warm waters of the big N, but this was it…I just had to watch it. I have loved it so far (two episodes in) but I must say it is like reading a teenage magazine (I’m in my forties). Very easy but I might get bored as it doesn’t have much bite. Lush to watch though!

In reply to Erica Hannah. I definitely don't think this series is for everyone! And there are things I don't like about it. So, I understand. Thanks for your thoughts.

This is a very good review. Unfortunately, as a lover of all things Romance and Regency, I felt that Bridgerton was definitely not for me. Having read all the books, it’s even more disappointing. Alas, maybe I’m too old-fashioned 🙁

In reply to Brittaney B. Yes, I love seeing more diversity. It is so refreshing and much-needed. I hope it will influence future period dramas.

Great review Amber and one with which I agree. I love seeing more diversity onscreen for this era. I too thought the intimate scenes were more frequent and explicit than necessary, but otherwise really enjoyed this series.
