All romantic movies, shows or series are typically predictable that's not why we watch them and that's not why you should watch Bridgerton. This series is is so visually fulfilling and titillating that it will speak to all of your senses. Your sense of grandeur, your sense of romance, your sense of commitment, your sense of self-worth and value, your sense of family and community, your sense of standing in your own and knowing who you are and coming of age and craving the opportunity to learn who you are all while fitting in to a society with unrealistic demands and expectations just like today.
If you want to be romanced why wouldn't you want him to be fine as hell and trust the Duke in this series, played by actor, Rege'Jean Page, is FINE AS HELL, especially in the attire of this period. Click that link and check out his Instagram and see for yourself.
Plus if you want to see a more accurate depiction of blacks in the Regency Era start here because believe it or not there is estimated to have been 20 to 30,000 free non-slave blacks in London. With many being descendants or direct relations to families of wealth. So as inaccurate as people are up in arms and screaming the series is, it's actually more accurate than your typical period drama pieces that have all white characters. Was there a black duke? Why yes there was! His name, Alessandro de' Medici zhe was the Duke of Penn and the 1st Duke of Florence.
If you're an architecture buff or just love the decadence of the interior's from that era then you're going to love Bridgerton. Filmed on location in Bath England, you have locations shared with the actual current day royal family and although the interiors for the main characters home, the Bridgerton compound, is built from scratch, the attention to detail is mind-blowing.
The costumes on this show are so intricate that you just have to pay homage and give respect to the costume designer, Ellen Mirojnick, for giving you this visual stimulation that just engrosses you in waves that perfectly define each character and perfectly accent their personalities and their prominence, their shyness, their longing to belong and disappear and its pure ability to exist as a character of its own.
