[@lyle9793]

Y’all are so ridiculous, if they make all 8 seasons it’s reallly just fine if one or two are adapted to be queer, literally the whole point of the screen adaptation is to portray a version of 19th century London that’s much more inclusive of modern day values so why do you draw the line here? They’ve been honest about it from the beginning

Queen Charlotte, along with Julie Andrew’s voice, is a STAPLE of the show Bridgerton! They can’t kill off the queen; it’s not as if the show is historically or literately accurate!

But there'd be a lot of gossip generated by George IV and his marital situation.

[@spritemarie]

I can't imagine them killing her off.

[@poetriot]

Season 3 was the worst yet. They tried to cram too much for too many characters and forced everything to be rushed and make no sense. I really hope Benedict gets justice in his season and is not just pushed to the side for the millions of other charcters the show wants to introduce. They need some new blood behind the scenes to fix the show.

[@susanblue3981]

@poetriot yes, I watched two times just to be sure, I wasn't imagining my disappointment. Then to wait 2 years for s4. They can't do better than that.

[@pamelaflynn1129]

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't think Francesca stumbled with her name out of attraction for John's cousin. I thought it was either, she was uncomfortable meeting his family so soon (thinking she would meet them in Scotland). Or, that she assumed with John saw his cousin he stated "Come and meet my new bride", so the cousin should have known who she was instead of asking her name. During a convo between Eloise and Benedict, he mentioned that something new is on the horizon (paraphrasing). This was when she was leaving and the spoke and hugged in the hallway. That seemed like foreshadowing to me.

[@evelina2619]

It was obvious for some especially book readers because of 1) the name and 2) the way she stumbled is similar to the effect of true love that Violet described. Add her mixed reaction to the kiss with John and voilà

[@Kya0565]

Something new on the horizon was probably foreshadowing B’s love interest Sophie which he meets at the Masquerade ball they were speaking about in the hallway

[@embeexoxo]

She looked a bit disappointed after their (presumably first) kiss at their wedding and stumbled over her name in the exact way Violet described meeting their father...she is definitely gay for Michaela lol

[@maestroclassico5801]

It is I'm sure.

[@rominapitti7414]

I agreed, to me, Franchesca seemed confused by meeting some family and not expecting it to happend that night and getting use to her new last name, also she is kind of akward and introvert… the fact that she had to introduce himself would be dissapointing to any new bride 🔥🔥🔥

[@nrkgalt]

They could have Queen Charlotte pass away as she did in real life and replace her with her daughter-in-law, Queen Caroline, the estranged wife of King George IV. Their marital troubles could be a plot point.

[@mamaya1971]

Benedict plays both sides and if I was Sophie I’d run the heck away

[@lauraarnold8117]

Its not the gender swapping per se. It doesnt make sense as a story line. Michael's guilt over coveting his cousin's wife is compounded when his cousin dies leaving him with the title causing more guilt. So much guilt that he leaves England for four years. Since women cant inherit a title, a Michaela story line would completely take the books in a different direction. It just doesnt make sense. That and Benedict's sexcapades. Just write another entire series and call it something different than Bridgerton.

[@gregoryoh2758]

Season 3 was a letdown for me, there were too many story lines running at the same time, for me the end of Lady Whistledown is sad, It will be perfectly Ok and more meaningful if just Collin and Eloise knew the true and she could use her column to help people, the gowns for this season look like futuristics not the beautiful gowns that we used to have in season 1 and 2

[@flourchylde]

Compared to past seasons, Polin had very little romance in Season 3. All the other stories detracted from their storyline. I thought Season 3 was a total mess. Maybe I'm the only one that has this opinion, but I think Luke/Nicola have more chemistry in real life than as Polin on screen.

[@theninjacat7200]

Sorry to disagree with you but I don't think we were watching the same series...Penelope's gowns in this Season 3 were GORGEOUS! The gowns in Season 1 and Season 2 were hideous. Too loud, too many colors and adorned with too many sparkles. They reflected the characters, I know but the dresses were eyesores. I love the elegance of this season's wardrobe. Every gown, suit was breathtaking. Also, I don't believe the ending was sad at all. The ending was as expected: Pen found her own voice and she wasn't afraid to speak up for herself. Perhaps you may want to read the books, it will fill in some details and show you the evolution of the characters. I read the books and Pen's evolution is right on target.

[@tiga7592]

Eloise is the one who I feel is most likely to get into a lesbian relationship in Scotland. She likes extrovert people which Micaela seemed to be.

[@ameliesrezensionen2631]

I think Eloise will be the next season. Her story happens off-season after Pen & Colin's wedding in the books. Francesca needs more time, but WHY would Eloise come with them, if season 4 would start with the next ball season (Benedict) and the masquerade ball? Makes no sense. I don't think that they will kill of John already, so I think we will see Eloise writing to her loved one from Scotland and then running away from there.

[@jahzah3934]

The Mondrich storyline is curious. In one scene it looked like the lawyer over seeing the royal family lines asked to speak with them, but nothing happened. Additionally, there might be a clue to the future storylines for the younger children in that the brother and sister Bridgerton competed for the attention of the Mondrich son. Could they compete for his romantic attention in he future?

[@huongspy1626]

I'm so disappointed with Francesca's storyline, and the reveal of Lady Whistledown is also a letdown. I wish that Pen had revealed her identity only to the Queen, not just the whole ton who didn't care at all that she was Lady Whistledown, so Pen still kept her identity a secret, it would have been so much more interesting.

[@theninjacat7200]

Read the book, it fills in a lot of details. Pen was afraid her entire life. She didn't even have a voice in her own household. She had to debut one year early to find a husband against her will. She published her column to fight back. The book explains the Queen did care and she wanted to know she could have an alliance with Pen going forward. Basically, allegiance to the Crown. The Queen was pleased because Pen promised to be more responsible with her articles (i.e. the power of the pen - no pun intended). Pen was relieved because she didn't have to hide her identity anymore and no one could blackmail her. Pen could live her happily ever after with Colin and the babies.

[@blusskyy]

In the book the queen isn't the one who puts out the reward, it's lady Danbury. Also, the one who reveals pen's identity is Colin, announcing he's very proud of her. That happens because Cressida is still lurking. That way, the entire ton already knows. And the bridgertons are delighted with pen being lady w.

Unpopular opinion: but I like the Mondrich storyline. Everyone needs a relatable character to connect with. The people of the Ton are our version of upperclass million/billionaire’s and nepo babies.

Changing Francesca's story arc from Michael to Michaela ruins her story arc. From being the quite one in the family and disappointment of not having to children. To now one that she won't be able to get children at all just for 'diversity and inclusion'. Explain to me how changing this story creates diversity and inclusion. It just shows how noncreative you are. That you have to use other people's stories instead of making your own.

[@jenniferharrison4093]

I totally agree the writers of the tv series should have kept Michael as a male not a female like in the book because I loved Francesca's story in the book also I was disappointed that there was nothing to do with Eloise running off and about to marry Sir Phillip Crane like it was in the book "To Sir Phillip with Love" since Eloise ran off to meet Sir Phillip Crane during the end of the book "Romancing Mister Bridgerton"

I can't trust the new showrunner. She did an abysmal job with Polin. The first couple not to have their season concentrate on them, way too many other side characters being elevated, and leaving out important things or changing them for the sake of 21st-century flavor killed the series for me. I loved the changes in the first seasons, but changing Michael just makes me wonder how they're going to deal with Francesca's story; since Michaela can't inherit the Killmartin title, it's still based in the Regency Era, and it's been hammered how little power women have, how they have to make good matches if they want to have security, etc. They better not screw up Sophie and Benedict's story LOL. Benedict's whole being a rake is so far removed from his character in the books, but I still wish we can get Sophie and Benedict's story following the book a bit closer than Polin's mess.

[@TaylorLincoln401]

I was deeply disappointed which should have been a red flag from all the press did before the release of season 3. I know u can’t follow the books exactly but there’s a lot of us who read the books and were huge fans before the show or became readers after season 1 so to be so off base seemed unnecessary. I’m already not looking forward to season 4 and I would be truly shocked if they even get anything after that. We didn’t need a gay Brigerton in cause it wasn’t in the books. They really did Francesca dirty. Even Colin and pen deserved more love. I was HuGE FAN of the books and season 1 and 2 and I’m not alone on this lol

[@robertagonzales888]

I really wish people would make the series of Bridgerton like the books instead of making people who are not in the book gay or lesbian just to make other people feel comfortable instead of actually coming up with their own stories of gay and lesbian characters.

It has never been predictable: they have always created new characters that (so far) have added no meaning to the story like Mr and Mrs Mondrich…even though I assume their first born boy will end up with Hyacinth… instead of Lady Danbury’s grandson! 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Anthony and wife never went to India cause he never married an Indian and most importantly he was always a very pivotal character of the stories. Why we had Sienna in S1 is still a mystery. Eloise did not fight with Penelope about anything but definitely not about Lady Whistledown’s identity. Cressida wasn’t sent away and never blackmailed anyone. Benedict loves being an artist but when specifically asked, he denies it. WTH!!!! And he being the womanizer and the bisexual is the change nobody needed. Let alone Francesca… if you want to have freedom in order to explore new paths, create a new story like you did for Queen Charlotte! If you follow the books you can’t twist the stories dear to many as you please. And not because we are puritans, but simply because you can’t push the characters stories out of their paths.

[@availanila]

The books were absolutely no _Harry Potter,_ not even _50 Shades of Grey,_ these stories are dear to very few of the people watching the show. And the author cosigns the changes and it's her work to do with as she pleases. Do you even know the logistical nightmare keeping them exactly to book accurate would be? And they won't be interesting translated to show if that happened. It's an *adaptation* for a reason

[@uvongcukana5440]

@@availanilahow would it be a logistical nightmare to keep it book accurate?

[@availanila]

@@uvongcukana5440 the cost of keeping all those actors, navigating their other engagements, having the growing casts as the families grow, extra filming of all the flashbacks and the sheer amount of coordinating and managing filming so many actresses from behind the scene stuff to setting a quality stage for so many people. Then stories like Eloise's with all letter writing and an abus3r will be hard to adapt to screen, Daphne's rap3y parts just wrong, Colin's physical violence deplorable, not enough drama for Kate & Anthony for the screen, Sophie's staying on schedule across years with nothing to do, etc. And then let's not forget all the stories are pretty much the exact same story with different setting and people. Those books aren't of the right quality for faithful adaptations. Heck, even Anne of Green Gables had to change a lot to be screenworthy across a whole century.

[@Rella531]

By book accurate I think they meant keeping characters the same sex and the same proclivity. The sexual deviance makes no sense after establishing that it's still illegal. They've written in more problems than they need with trying to be inclusive in that way--and people are sick and tired of having the gay agenda in every single piece of media. Also the books were not the ensemble piece that the show has become and every season has proven how adept they are at finding highlights for smaller characters--so having Violet move out and hire Sophie to help take care of her and Hyacinth and Eloise is not would not be difficult--or have you forgotten how important the roles of maids and housekeepers were in season one? I havent. It would be really nice to get involved with the working class again. Also people seem to forget that in order for Eloise to have her happy ever after, Marina has to die...and like, soon. These writers have lost sight of the big picture and in their rush to include historically illegal activity to cater to a modern notion of romance and sexuality they have created problems for their audiences that no one wants to be invested in...which they knew would happen. Which is why they threw everything into season 3 when Netflix is famous for canceling shows after 3 seasons.

[@availanila]

@@Rella531 sexual deviance?? Gay agenda?? Modern sensibilities?? 👀 _Girl...!_ We are the same people that have always existed just with more human rights and more technology! All those hangings in the ISIL controlled areas in the Middle East back in 2010s, the current existence of the Bacha Posh and historical figures (even just in the literary world) like Daphne Dumaurier, Willa Cather and Oscar Wilde show that repression doesn't matter when humans have to be human out and out gender non conforming and gay laws be damned.

I could have done with less Benedict polyamory and more of the featured couple. Season 1 set the tone, but it’s all been convoluted since then. Season 1 was full of sex scenes. Tastefully done, but they were, you know…like bunnies. 😂Season 2 was a sexual dud with one 3 minute scene between Anthony and Kate. Then we got cheated on their wedding and what happened to Lady Sharma and Edwina. Just more loose ends. They should have recast Rege as Daphne and Simon SHOULD have been attending the major events in every season. I wish I was writing for the show. 😬☮️

It's actually not their fault you don't see Simon anymore. The actor declined after the first season, being afraid to be type cast in the future.

[@ishara_priestess]

@@roden70 I know Rege didn’t want to stay in the role. They should have recast it so the family continuity could have been preserved and we could enjoy more bits of their storyline. It really screws things up when shows have major role players just disappear, never to be seen or heard of. I am sure none of the actors would want to stick around or return for a few scenes in a season, but I wish they could. Now Francesca is married off and moved to Scotland. So apparently she didn’t get her own season, as we thought there would be. She was minimized from the start because of actor availability, and recast for season 3. Daphne is off ignoring her family. Anthony and Kate are in India. The Bridgerton world grows smaller each season. Season 4? Whatever. I have no speculation and am not excited as we will be waiting and waiting, and waiting some more. 😕

The changes they make in the show are quite unnecessary and cause more of a set back in progress for all the other Bridgerton stories. Like, the friendship being broken between pen and Eloise in S2. That was entirely unnecessary and not needed. The addition of changing the gender of Michaela was also not really needed.

[@blusskyy]

While I mainly agree with this, I also disagree partially. The thing is, when you only have 8 episodes to develop a story, having multiple storylines means you have to thread carefully, having a balance in what to show and what to hold and when to show and when to let go. This season, for example. Polin could have had more screen time, where we see the characters actually falling in love (ok, more Colin than Pen), instead of being apart most of the time, and heatedly arguing when together. I loved them, but I felt it was really cut short because of how many things were going on. Instead of having 5 or 6 stories, you might want to focus on 3, and how those branch out, affecting all the characters. Slowly foreshadow the upcoming stories, but don't try to get as many screen time for them.
