Bridgerton

Absurd that people would actually be annoyed by black actors being cast in this. The show features cello covers of Maroon 5 and Ariana Grande songs for its ball dancing music, it's obviously not intended to be historically accurate. It's a fictional tv show not a documentary, so that particlar criticism is just racist BS. Anyway, I thought it was an entertaining, easy, fun watch but nothing extraordinary.

watched it under three-month lockdown in Shanghai 2022...🥲

As a lover of contemporary romance and a period piece, Bridgerton hits exactly what I need.

The acting is so bad and the chemistry between the main characters so non-existent that the show has to keep forcing them together to the point where it becomes ridiculous. They constantly run into each other in libraries at midnight, in meadows at dawn, in parks and in gardens, and the other characters also keep pushing them together ("Kate, you have to go hunt with Anthony! Women do not traditionally hunt, but we have to make the audience believe that you are in love!"). Rubbish!
