The other new Netflix show I’ve been dying to watch but didn’t have the time for was the long awaited second season of last years breakout Lockdown hit, Bridgerton. I’ve noticed that the reviews for this season are a lot lower but I quite enjoyed this season. It’s definitely a lot slower with a whole lot less sex to fill the empty space between big scenes. It also feels weird because they seemed to go out of their way to explain why a certain someone was missing from the show. Jonathan Bailey was one of the most unlikeable of the incredibly sexy Bridgerton men last season and he’s still unlikeable here until the last episode or two. It’s so excruciatingly painful waiting for him and Simone Ashley’s character to realize they love each other. They are both very toxic to each other for awhile and somehow their story was the least interesting of the season. I was more engrossed in Golda Rosheuvel and Claudia Jessie’s story of finding out who Lady Whistledown is. And now knowing that it is Nicola Coughlan’s character kept things interesting to see how she operates and decides what to write. Ruth Gemmell is still such a great mother character and she does a great job being a proud mom to Phoebe Dynevor’s few scenes this season. Adjoa Andoh plays such a great character that is so fun to watch. Julie Andrews is so good as the voice of the Whistledown narrations. Luke Newton is great as Colin, aka my favorite Bridgerton boy and I’m really happy that season three will be about him and Penelope. I’m very disappointed in the story around Luke Thompson’s Benedict since last season they gave him a lowkey bisexual story line and then had no hints of it here. I still like his story here but now there are no Queer stories on the show. It was nice to finally get a year for the setting of the show based on an amount of time they said it has been since the father passed away and then showing the year he passed. There are way to many characters to shout out all of them but I have to end with Charithra Chandran’s Edwina who is such a delight in all of her episodes and I wish her character the best. I really like the actress and I hope to see her around more. 8/10 overall. -Tyler.
