Bridgerton

Season 3 is boring. I cant even finish all episodes. I cant feel the chemistry between colin and penelope. I guess i expected too much. They tried to expand other characters too much and end up dimming the spotlight on colin and penelope. And the fact that they turned benedict into a bisexual is such a turn off. They are ruining the books. They are ruining the images i have for the main characters when i read the books. I think they should stick more to the original plot in the books because it's the main reason why people watch it at the 1st place anyway. I hope they will do better in the next season.

Can we have the old showrunner back? Please.

There were only a handful of exciting episodes for season 3 and they didn't really make up for the others being so dull.

The plot structure they went for would have worked over at least 12 episodes instead of just 8. They clearly didn't want to give the romantic leads their time to shine which meant we didn't get time to fall in love with their love.

I think the assumption was that their friendship in was enough in previous seasons that we wouldn't need any time to buy their love. I need more time to see why after years they'd finally go for it. It was so awkward.

Claudia Jessie played Eloise with extreme class. Hope she continues to "stun the stage" in her future acting career!

Can't understand the entertainment value Americans get out of bad scriptwriting for shows that take place in Europe. This is on par with Emily in Paris, complete crap and forgettable.

The costumes, settings, music are all beautiful, but we've seen them before. This season lacks the substance and intrigue that led so many to bingewatch the first. A gaping hole is left with the resolution of Simon and Daphne's romance. The love triangle between Anthony, Kate and Edwina feels forced, with none of the actors particularly charismatic. The heightened focus on Eloise is detrimental, with the actress' eyerolls, overreaction, and unrealistic conduct reminiscent of Anna Chlumsky as Vivian in Inventing Anna. The other subplots are so redundant that they could have been crafted from film left on the editing floor in Season 1 and weren't enthralling on the first go-round (e.g., Penelope's unrequited infatuation with Colin).

My rating of 6 is the average of a 7 for Season 1 and a 5 for Season 2.
