Over break, I along with many others around the world binge-watched the Netflix original Bridgerton. This show was produced by Shonda Rhimes and is set in the Regency Era following members of the high society or “Ton” during the Debutante season. Watching the show, I found it to be very entertaining and enjoyed the short 8 episode arc which kept it from becoming boring as often happens in other shows. I was excited to break down my thoughts of the show with other Bridgerton fans. Our discussion ranged from its portrayal of purity culture to the show’s decision to portray an alternative history with a racially inclusive regency era. Overall, it was a lot of fun to rehash our favorite parts of the show and hear what others thoughts were on the show. Personally, I am looking froward to season 2!
I just started watching Bridgerton but am only one episode into the show. I am excited to continue, as I am interested in the show scene that you described above. I would love to watch a season two as well, if that plans on coming out. Additionally, Shonda Rhimes also wrote/produced Greys Anatomy, as well as many other famous shows. It is interesting to see how creative she is and how she is able to come up with a variety of unique storylines.
