Bridgerton follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market. Hoping to follow in her parent’s footsteps and find a match sparked by true love, Daphne’s prospects initially seem to be unrivaled. But as her older brother begins to rule out her potential suitors, the high society scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown casts aspersions on Daphne. Enter the highly desirable and rebellious Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), committed bachelor and the catch of the season for the debutantes’ mamas. Despite proclaiming that they want nothing the other has to offer, their attraction is undeniable and sparks fly as they find themselves engaged in an increasing battle of wits while navigating society’s expectations for their future.

Carolyn Hinds Observer However, for all it's finery, there are snags in the bright fabric of the show that I just can't overlook, namely the negative stereotyping of its Black characters and colorism in the casting. Jul 26, 2021 Full Review Debi Enker The Age (Australia) The plot is as thin as a London society belle; the unsurprising dramatic developments are delivered with the subtlety of a sledgehammer; the characters are mostly caricatures; and anything vaguely notable is constantly repeated. Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Aditi Natasha Kini Bitch Media Bridgerton is peddling an insulting brand of aesthetic level justice through the common vocabulary of representation. It's way past time to complicate that vocabulary. Jan 16, 2021 Full Review Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film An addictive investigation into the intricacies of love. Rated: 4/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Michael Cuby them. Gorgeously shot and wittily written. Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Madelyn Gee Mediaversity Reviews Adding a gay character to Bridgerton is better than no representation at all, but the queerbaiting that comes with him is less welcome.

Kisakye W I wish I could go higher cause Rege and phoebe did an amazing job Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Karla A It was very pretty (though esthetically the sideburns are… a choice) but I kind of dislike the fact that after the marriage, they both decided to kind of take advantage of the other instead of just discussing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Denisse M Very good and beautiful. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Denisse Margarita E Very entertaining, I'm glad that not everything is treated so seriously, it gives a particular touch to the story Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review erica b I liked it a lot. The pageantry and glamour was fun. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Rosario B Normalizaron un caso de v**** pero sirvió para adentrar a otros personajes y de base para la historia.
