The show moves quickly past the assault, framing it around Daphne's feelings of betrayal. After learning Simon can have children, but has chosen not to (which she learns through an awkward post-coitus tissue-stealing scene), Daphne coerces him into sex that would conceive a child. "Bridgerton" may have invested in Vitamin String Quartet's rendition of "Thank U, Next" to bring us into the 2020s, but it chose to hold onto an offensive scene from the original book.Ī little plot summary: Daphne thought her husband physically unable to have children, a ruse maintained because she had no idea how babies are actually made. Here are some of the main criticisms (along with a few personal gripes) that Season 2 will hopefully address to make this guilty pleasure a little less guilty: But early praise yielded to greater analysis and criticism of the show, which pointed to uneven handling of race and consent. Early criticism was mostly positive calling the show a fun, bingeable escape - this is where I initially landed, after watching the first few episodes. Though Season 1 was extremely popular, it received mixed reviews. After being dumped by his opera singer lover in the first season, he has decided not to risk his heart again and will simply pick whoever is deemed the "Incomparable" for a loveless yet comfortable marriage. We'll see if that's actually what happens.Ī second season could also give the show an opportunity to dig a little deeper into its own universe. If the next season presumably follows the events in Quinn's second book of the series – one book for each of the eight Bridgerton siblings' love stories – we can expect the spotlight to shift from Daphne to eldest son and heir Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and his search for the perfect wife. Since the show's release on Christmas Day, it has regularly graced Netflix's Top 10. The first season follows debutante Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) as she navigates the marriage mart and her courtship of rakish Duke Simon Bassett (Regé-Jean Page) - all narrated by the "Gossip Girl"-esque Lady Whistledown ( Julie Andrews) and her meddling society papers. The Regency-era drama was adapted from Julia Quinn's best-selling book series, but with a modern twist – imagining a "color-conscious" version of history in which a Black Queen Charlotte (Golda Roshuevel) would create more opportunities for people of color.
This comes as no surprise - as of early January, "Bridgerton" is one of Netflix's Top 5 most-viewed original shows. Netflix recently announced that it has renewed randy costume confection "Bridgerton" for a second season.
