Episode Guide
The capital rake off to the races has finally come to an end. A beleaguered and unlucky victor has emerged, taking the spoils of victory with them. The choice now is whether or not harmony can be restored between two estranged lovers.
Since its debut, Bridgerton has been praised for its unique and stylish take on the medieval period. The show has been praised for its strong writing, acting and production values. It’s also become a hit with viewers, with over 1 million subscribers in the United States alone.
On the whole, season 2 of “The Crown” is much better than the first. The writing is more engaging and the story has a more cohesive feel. However, there are still some problems that need to be addressed. For example, there was a lot of time spent on character development that felt unneeded and didn’t really add to the story. Additionally, some of the plot points were confusing and didn’t make much sense. Overall, though, I am glad that season 2 exists and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
The main romance this time between Anthony and Kate is going to be a big talking point because their chemistry is off the charts. While they may not have the same gorgeous looks of Simon Bassett (subjectively of course), Anthony and Kate more than make up for that with their lustful longing gazes and various verbal duals.
The first season of “The Crown” was a well-written and easily standout fairy-tale romance. However, this new season is not straightforward in the same way. There are more complex and interesting storylines that keep the viewer engaged. ..
Bridgerton takes on the oft-overused love triangle trope, but manages to spice things up nicely with a distinct lack of misunderstandings thrown in.
The show’s writers have done a great job of creating a believable and enjoyable romantic drama, despite the sudden events that stop Kate and Anthony from kissing. The crux of the issue here is Kate’s sister Edwina, who is promised to wed Anthony. The show’s writers have done a great job of creating a believable and enjoyable romantic drama, despite the sudden events that stop Kate and Anthony from kissing. ..
Anthony is not in love with Kate, but sees this as a way of fulfilling his family’s duty. When he starts to fall for her, things take a wild turn and the whole thing sets up a scandalous affair that looks set to explode at any moment. ..
This season has been all about exploring the romance between Anthony and Kate. We get some flashbacks looking at Anthony’s past in episode 4, while some rare bouts of vulnerability late on from both Kate and Anthony do absolute wonders for both their characters.
Lady Whistledown has been revealed and Penelope is in danger of being exposed. She spends the majority of the season trying to avoid suspicion while also showing how sneaky she’s been to get the news out and keep up her alter-ego going.
Pen’s problems become even more complicated when the Queen remains determined to find out who Lady Whistledown is, setting a trap to ensnare whoever this may be. ..
The show’s two storylines are both interesting, but the show’s meandering subplots don’t add anything to the show. ..
Mondrich opens up a Gentleman’s Club and the whole angle is just…boring. There’s nothing of note happening and it feels like a way of giving the men something to do.
Anthony is the only one of the three who doesn’t have a clear angle. He’s just there, doing his thing. Benedict and Colin are interesting in their own right, but Anthony is the one who stands out most. ..
The Featherington family is the focus of this story, but outside of them, the whole thing just feels like a waste.
The article largely focuses on the Bridgertons and how their class is faring, but few other ideas are explored. This is largely due to the comedic quips and one long story that goes nowhere. ..
This is a major disappointment when it comes to subplots, given there’s potential and a lot of buildup but after what is essentially a marginally longer story than season 1, the time spent with these guys doesn’t justify the obvious outcome.
The lavish production design and costuming are both as exquisite as they were the first time around, and there’s no doubt that this is one good looking show. ..
The pop songs in this album feel a bit too overkill at times. That goes for a couple of cheeky fourth wall breaking moments which feel really oddly placed too.
In episode 1, Lady Danbury straight up mentions how things have changed since last season. While it’s appropriate for the scene, it also feels like a subtle jab at the audience to relieve their Simon Bassett hangover.
The showrunners have done a great job of creating a world that feels like it’s from the 18th century, complete with period costumes and dialogue. The characters are well-drawn and the plot is compelling, even if it does feel a little too familiar at times.
Despite the icy cold depths of the stories, the red hot passion and intensity fuelling Kate and Anthony’s love kept me invested right through the show. That was what kept me interested right from the start, and I can guarantee that it will keep you watching until the end. ..
Season 2 of Shondaland production Bridgerton is not perfect. Pacing issues are something a lot of Shondaland productions have suffered with, but the added dose of tense drama and a red hot romance make this a guilty pleasure follow-up that’s a marginal improvement over the first. ..
