Review of Bridgerton

Bridgerton (2020– )
9/10
Started strong, writers bungle season 2

Warning: Spoilers
I loved season one. Watched it twice in a row I loved it so much. Thought they did a great job and actually improved on the book. Season two, unfortunately, did not. Kate and Anthony's story is by far the best of the novels - the main reason being because it is FUNNY! I was looking forward to season two the most because of this, and while I don't mind the overall massive rewrite and plot changes they added, the writers didn't include any of the funny bits that make this book enjoyable and endearing. (And what a missed opportunity for character growth on the practically non-existent library storm scene!) The show on its own is very well done and the acting is excellent, I just hate when screen writers of book adaptations try to "beef up" the drama and, in so doing, remove all the goodness that made romance readers fall in love with the story in the first place.
