March 2022: season 2 is better, the acting is so much better and the storyline as well. The actor who plays Anthony (Jonathan Bailey, he deserves bigger on-screen roles) is an outstanding actor. Skip season 1, only watch season 2. This season has the right balance of drama, laughter, character development, and build up. Season 1 was too much s*x, season 2 is good and not too much s*x. Season 1 is worth max a 6 because of the bad acting. Season 2 is worth a 7.5/10. The chemistry that Anthony and Kate had in Season 2 was amazing 😍, I didn't feel that with Daphne + Simon something was off (without the intimacy that was scripted/coached they looked like friends).
The actor that plays Anthony carries his role well, he's through and through Anthony Bridgerton and a hunk (he has no sideburns in season 2, so much better) . Jonathan Bailey deserves to be on the big screens now. Such a diverse actor that can take on any role. He's very good with his face at expressing emotion.
Can't wait to see Anthony + Kate in the upcoming seasons helping the other Bridgerton siblings. They confirmed that they will stay.
December 2020: Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne) deserves more recognition. She carried season 1 and it was mostly shown through her gaze (the female gaze). No wonder most women are having the hots for Simon (Page is such a bad actor, who is overrated and who looks too feminine). Now he's leaving the show what an ungrateful actor. + In the voice of Lady Whistledown: Rumour has it that Page is closeted, has a beard and is not speaking his truth.
On a positive note, I loved the diversity in the show. Truly amazing how they not only chose white characters to be represented as the rich in society but a diversity of people with different skin colours. Just like it is nowadays.
Anyone who critiques this period piece, needs to do some research, this show was made by a producer that is renowned to cast a diverse cast. This tv show is fiction and a new period piece on it's own. It's a modern makeover of the Regency period drama and therefore more relatable. Also, stop bullying the fact that a variety of people with different skin colours are represented in the show. Those people lack imagination.
