Part prequel, part season 2.5, Queen Charlotte tells the story of... well, Queen Charlotte! She's not exactly my favorite character from Bridgerton... but perhaps this will make me appreciate her more when season 3 comes around?

The spin-off miniseries revolving around Queen Charlotte consists of two plot lines: one in the present of Bridgerton, beginning in 1817 with the death of the royal heir Princess Charlotte, an event that causes the Queen to pressure her children to marry and produce another royal heir; the other begins in 1761 with Charlotte meeting and marrying King George. The latter explores the King and Queen's marriage and his mental illness.

[@PrettyMuchIt]

have you seen my other BRIDGERTON videos?! season 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaG8qmepZpesj6s season 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ametl6Oehd5mrbc

[@hopeymik]

Something about seeing a man be so unapologetically emotional and praise a show like Queen Charlotte brings me so much joy. You are a treasure Eric

[@tardybloomer]

YES. love that about Eric, and Alan from Cinematherapy. as i crier myself i like seeing other cryers hahah

[@hopeymik]

⁠@@tardybloomer honestly, that too!! As a crier I feel represented

[@mayaf7403]

Frrrrr

[@Miramar264]

That's such sweet sentimental knob slobbery def agree

[@julesking1303]

i was recently talking to my 60+ year old uncle, and he mentioned that one of the Netflix series he had recently watched was Bridgerton because it was trending like crazy I said “i love that show, but honestly Queen Charlotte was the best series they’ve made so far from that world” and he said “oh my god YES! are ya kiddin me? That scene under the bed alone was phenomenal and just . . . Amazing.” We didn’t talk all that much more in depth about it, but I’m fairly certain that that conversation was the closest thing to showing legit *deep* emotions that I’ve seen from that man in the quarter of a century that I’ve know him for.

[@gilliancooper2720]

The scene of young Brimsley dancing with Reynolds slowly transitioning into older Brimsley dancing by himself with a instrumental rendition of "I Will Always Love You" playing in the background... This absolutely destroyed me.

[@asantepauwels]

I was an absolute mess the fist time I watched this scene. Still get me watch Eric video

[@chilichinashop]

I wish for Reynold to come back more than anything 😢

[@MarcyStevonshy]

It was like a punch to the gut for me 😭

[@tardybloomer]

“had they invented dementia at that time” bruh ERIC 😭

[@lunabirdlove]

"Wow Shonda is a sick fuck for having her hook up with Violets dad" lmaoo

[@strawberryqueen0382]

“This can’t be sexy because she’s forced to marry him” Oh were those words to REGRET by Eric

[@jenm1]

are we still romanticizing marital rape

[@Katranga]

he’s never heard of the arranged marriage trope apparently lmao

[@rowanCLOUD]

None of the other Bridgerton stories top Queen Charlotte for me. Its amazing

[@polivepea]

💯

[@riley-1209]

Someone give this man a hat he sounded so sad that he was excluded

[@PrettyMuchIt]

🥺

[@chilichinashop]

@@PrettyMuchIt 🎩 +1 hat for Eric

[@PrettyMuchIt]

🥹

[@TheBearJewPictures]

somebody give this man a shield...

[@MaddyBeck19]

"I'm kinda into young Lady Danbury...I'm kinda into old Lady Danbury, quite frankly!" I see you are a man of refined taste, Eric 👏

[@kelli8447]

using raising canes napkins to wipe away the tears >>>>

[@unicornlion1037]

Lmfao Eric calling them Lumière and Cogsworrh is peak comedy

[@strawberryqueen0382]

What’s funny is there’s an entire supernatural based lore about the English Royal family being werewolves. There was even an episode of Doctor Who referencing it

[@meganlynn83]

QC DESTROYED ME! "Hide from the heavens with me." 😭😭😭

[@casual.fanonymous]

Same. I wasn't expecting to cry. Queen Charlotte's love story is #1 for me, above all the Bridgerton Seasons. It's just so sad watching how the King ends up. He didn't want to put anyone through the pain of caring for him, so he distanced himself, then tried to fix his condition because he cared for Charlotte, but was taking advantage of. It's moving how loyal they are to one another in the end.

[@gilliancooper2720]

Lord Dansbury was the jump scare I did not need.

[@tardybloomer]

god this spinoff was INCREDIBLEEE i have not seen another show do a spinoff this well. Queen Charlotte literally has me crying every . single . time

[@hambone.fakenamington]

8:23 Eric’s energy for this scene had me cackling. “Jeeeesus chrIST…… they EXPLODED”

[@bibzybean]

need an entire fucking brimsley season ASAP

[@stephaniefrost4910]

The way no one asked for this prequel miniseries and it’s one of their BEST in terms of writing. I love being a fan of this show 💜💐🐝

[@lucyl_]

i sob like a fucking baby every time i watch that final scene

[@TaraThelen-lc6pn]

Same

[@Sjp977]

George looks more like Dave Franco than Dave Franco does

[@PrettyMuchIt]

wow

[@gilliancooper2720]

I need the Bridgerton writers to tell us what happened to Reynolds... It still haunts me to this day and I need to know!

[@nadiar.4638]

He is the kings man, so is probably with the king and they dont visit the queen very much anymore 🙁

[@AdrianaMartinez-eo8xr]

They had a scene written where Reynolds and Brimsley pass by each other but never filmed it as it was cut from the script. He’s confirmed to still be alive, but they’re not together.

[@BlackParade727]

They can't be together because they have to each watch the king and queen. Since the king and queen live separately and barely see each other, so do they

[@LucasTheLlama]

MORE BRIDGERTON THIS SOON!?!?! LET'S GOOO!!

[@sadisticwinter8354]

This was only 19 minutes for an entire series and it's one of the best reactions I've seen😭Comedic timing is excellent

[@jackierosas9593]

Even a snippet of the ending scene has me crying. It’s the best Bridgerton has given us (I say this after watching Pt II of Season 3)😂😂

[@antoniacosta6221]

I hope Eric knows Reynolds is alive in Bridgerton, Shonda confirmed it (idk where he is though but he ain’t dead yet)

[@PrettyMuchIt]

THANK GOD

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

You just honestly made my day!

[@MannyD90]

WAIT WHAT?! Where did she confirm it???

[@Alissa13Sk]

15:22 This is what I’ve been saying!! We need a Violet Bridgerton prequel series!!!! PLS SHONDA I NEED to see her epic love story that’s she’s always reminiscing about 😩

[@MissFelice]

Seeing Eric get so involved, feel so much, and never hold back tears is so good. I’ve always watched movies the same way and it just makes me happy!

[@amberspriggs6994]

“BRIMSLEY! YOU DOG!” had me cackling

[@halloweenferret]

I love that Eric shows himself crying. It makes me feel better about the fact that I cry so easily to shows and movies.

[@Szimicards]

Queen Charlotte existed in real life, this part is based on the true story of her and the king who was in fact 'mad'. And they did really love eachother and they did have 15 children of which 2 died. So they did have some inspiration, just not from a book.😊

[@lv.2073]

0:47 The way you looked genuinely conflicted in the footage is SO funny to me

[@Deliverance253]

Havent seen anything of bridgerton but this makes me wanna watch all of it, got me crying for characters I dont even know.

[@thegingerx]

Queen Charlotte wrenched my heart open. I am the child of a bipolar parent and it reawakened some deep feelings for me.

[@dani_eli]

brimsly dancing alone IMMEDIATELY made me cry

[@JigglesBunny]

I haven’t watched a second of Bridgerton outside of these commentary videos but when you cut to the guy dancing by himself, I let out the most pained, devastated whine. Jesus christ, man.

[@bluemai8776]

I love you commenting about the small romantic gestures like a sports commentator doing a play by play

[@gabbodelaparrawrites]

the werewolf theory is just epic 😆😆😆

[@milkman8467]

i have a big ol’ crush on eric and this solidifies it so much

[@dawdlendoodle]

11:05 THE ZOOM HAS ME IN TEARS

[@tdog3753]

i legitimately think queen charlotte is the best one out of all the seasons/shows related to bridgerton. How ironic that it wasn't based on any of the books

[@MannyD90]

Queen Charlotte is the best season hands down. They aren’t topping that ever 😭😭😭 Also excluding the sorrows, prayers scene to get us to get the Patreon, I get it. I’m sad but I get it 😂

[@worrywirt]

The werewolf bit was so perfect I want a fanfic with that now

[@sonyasimpson429]

Jesus fuck, not me fucking crying watching your reaction on the subway. I completely forgot how much this show freaking got me.

[@shekinahgordon]

I love crying with Eric 💕 Also, funniest jumpscare 4:43 😂

[@koolaidman_]

10:04 he came and he went

[@peytonduncan7389]

Trust me as a Bridgerton fan, seeing Queen Charlotte for the first time took me way by surprise. Bridgerton was always a funny, juicy, sometimes sexy drama so when this season made me so emotional, brought me to tears, I was taken aback. Quickly became my favorite season, even if it is just a spin-off. No show has ever made me laugh till I can’t breathe, cry for joy, sob like a baby, even believe in love again like this one ❤️🥹

[@peytonduncan7389]

Cried for Charlotte and George, cried for Brimsley and Reynolds, even for Agatha and Lord Ledger. It’s so sad, none of them get a truly happy ending

[@pinkreboot]

thank you so much for this eric

[@PrettyMuchIt]

thank YOU for watching!!

[@reevesavage]

George III had a thing called porphyria, which affected the mind in a way that people thought he was a werewolf or a vampire (and note how he doesn't eat fish which is high in vitamin d, which would be quite helpful in treatment for his porphyria...I'm sure Charlotte forced all her kids to eat their fish tbh...don't blame her)

[@charcoal200]

Dear lord, i dont even watch these shows, and yet I started tearing up the moment they got under the bed together. Then it was full on crying when she looked over and still saw the young man she fell in love with. Oh god, am i about to start watching Bridgerton now???

[@JerseyQuinn]

Dave franco is werewolf King 😂😂😂

[@patiencekillz]

the way i watched qc without having seen anything else bridgerton related

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

It stands on its own!

[@tpeyton2848]

The best Bridgerton season by miles

[@bumblebi7038]

eric's unbridled scream when brimsley and reynolds kissed (3:40) absolutely sent me. i, too, can't help but shout in elation when i realize there are gay people on my screen

[@DangerHEARTZ]

Never been so early! I already know Queen Charlotte made you sob… same

[@amodelmannequin]

Blind Wave suggested that Anthony was a werewolf in Season 2. Men really want this show to have werewolves lmfao

[@penguinsrbirds2]

"That baby ain't sayin' shit." is an insane thing to say, LMAO

[@thunDaClap01]

i think the saddest part about (the real) charlotte and george's story is that she died a year before him and he never found out

[@lunali7209]

the best bridgerton season STILL!

[@hyucksbff]

queen Charlotte is peak

[@candacenicole7972]

I sobbed again just watching the clip from the last scene… gets me everytime😭

[@eslesss]

Nothing gets me like Queen Charlotte. Every time I watch a clip of it and this is no exception

[@itsameliax]

why am I sobbing at this, I haven't even watched Bridgerton before 😭

[@sarahdeptuck]

Not me crying over this show again while watching you cry while watching it

[@sarah.the.clumsy]

Yes!! She's the Bad Bitch in Red! #pinkpopcast

[@scarletblack4887]

This is probably one of my favorite PMI tracks and I'm so happy there's a highlight video!

[@CowsRdumb]

Now I will only think of George as a secret wolf. George wolf it is 😂😂

[@amayathomas6907]

I watched this with my best friend and by the end we were hugging each other and sobbing 😭

[@gamerguy19981]

I honestly forgot that Eric hates Penelope and Colin's relationship

[@Ostyak_01]

I’ve never been more ashamed of myself than when I was able to hold a conversation about this show with my sister just from watching your videos. I now know too much about something I never should have. It’s like staring into the abyss but instead of the abyss staring back, it’s just a bunch of limeys in ridiculous clothing.

[@jaywritesstuff]

eric i need u to know i saw this on my feed and gasped out loud in excitement when i realized it was a new video

[@aesdiablo]

omg that ending made me cry so hard omg

[@abbiexxx5690]

Your reaction to lord Danbury is so real😭😭😭

[@meganjohansen7761]

Queen Charlotte is by far my favorite Bridgerton seaso

[@ampz8913]

"have they invented dementia by that point in time...?" 🤣🤣

[@kellyb4]

I love you for this. Binged all the Watch us watch a while ago now, but still treasure the edited cuts on KZbin. It's nice to have someone to cry with.

[@notmn8210]

[@angiebangie6372]

u pointed out brimsley looking like cogsworth and i think pink popcast said that reynolds looks like lumiere too and now i can’t unsee it 😭

[@jessikat_17]

Damn, even just these hilights have me in tears. Such a good show. Didn't think I would like it, I came out of it needing to share it with everyone lol

[@jalyn947]

I’m so HAPPY you reacted to this! The ending is beautiful 🥹

[@narnia_eclipse389]

id didn't find the main series that compelling. its good brain rot, BUT this did get me to shed a tear and care about the queen

[@Evar0se]

i just finshed listening to all the commentary tracks for this !

[@Hersheychocolate12]

Oooh I love how your loving this and actually touched by it authentically when you enjoy a good movie or show. And Lmao I always thought he looked like Dave Franco but taller.
