Bridgerton (2020)
Well that went over like a turd in the punchbowl.
WARNING, SPOILERS!
I love the show. I do, but this was a bit of a letdown.
They led us in a direction they didn't follow through with.
I don't think I was the only one under the impression Lord Debling would be head over heeels for Pen. It was disappointing to not see her get that adoration. I just don't understand the thinking there.
Our girls glow-up deserved more. This too was a letdown. At least one Lord should have been giving Colin a run for his money.
I did not like at all whorey boy Colin.
We should have watched them innocently fumble through the blossom of young love. Colin is not a rake. It was kind of gross.
I did enjoy the introduction of Francesca and the sweet nature they gave her. It will pay dividends in the future is they don't screw it up like the fake rake.
I thought the Fetherington girls were hilarious these first 4. They had some great lines and Mrs F. Never disappoints.
I was really hoping either she or Mrs. B. would be given a true blue love interest that would tease to knock our socks off. They are both amazing actresses. There are so many possibilities there.
One more thing. Why on earth was Colin celebrated the hero when Debling literally saved Pens life? She's not a worthy enough treasure to leave the ton swooning at her rescue?
Some of the little side stories they are building just took up what could have been more Colin and Pen time.
It was sorely lacking. We had no big build up like the last two couples.
We all know the importance of forplay before the big scene and they stole that from us. That's what I'm most dissatisfied about.
I will continue to watch of course like everyone else and hope for more meet and potatoes but I'm afraid it will be more along the lines of kippers and mash.
