Hey,
I have not read the books and honestly wasn’t into period drama until Bridgerton.
Loved loved loved Rege Jean Page and since I haven’t read the books, I’m biased towards his story with Daphne.
The thing I agree with you about Daphne is that she does think high of herself in some ways, but I guess that was needed to fit her with Simon or how they come to be.
my favourite bridgerton sibling is Eloise. Absolutely loved her. I’m all in for women who are there to break the rules, question society and make their way in the world. I adored her friendship with Penelope and her bond with Benedict.
I enjoyed and appreciate how they have POC in the show because it changes the whole dynamic.
lady Bridgerton: also one of my fav. Strong and bold and I truly enjoyed her role. I agree it was short, but what could they do in 8 episodes? I imagine if they had more than 12 episodes, they could show more of her.
I found the Queen obnoxious and hilarious.
anthony: honestly I warmed up to him by the end of the show and looking forward to season 2.I am also interested in colins story and I hope it’s with Penelope. Those two are adorable.
I just got my hands on the stories yesterday, so I’m hoping to start reading them soon
I agree Rege-Jean was marvellous as Simon and Pheobe was good too as Daphne.
I too love the Eloise- Penelope dynamic (their friendship is sooo precious in the books too!), and Eloise or rather Claudia Jessie was soo good!
Honestly, I watched Derry girls and Nicola Coughlan is simply wonderful in it as Clare, so maybe I found Penelope a little underwhelming. But Colin-Penelope's story is cute, so look forward to that!
Anthony-Kate will be soooo good! And I'm so glad they've cast Simone (another POC and a desi girl!) as Kate. I do hope they have Newton, the best bits are with him, and also the library scene, the Pall Mall game, and the bee which is everything in the Kathony storyline! Cannot wait! ❤️
I do hope they keep in some of the humor from the books. Somehow it seems to get lost in translation on screen. JQ has a wonderful way of playing off humorous scenes.
