What do you think of season 3?👇👇☺️

[@lucianabertolini1085]

Loved it

[@starfire4539]

After her atrocious run on season 3, she needs to lose her job asap

[@shammyshammy5539]

FACTS!! I'm so disappointed!

[@sassafrassassy771]

totally agree, she ruined it

[@justinev7846]

Can Jess kindly step down please? Season 3 was butchered. Like why take on a job only to ruin its integrity?

[@MmBbb-bc3ot]

Shame on you for ruining our favorite characters!

[@_k_s_r_2477]

Honestly this season didn’t focus on main characters.They focused on sun plots which were not even good. Was a big fan of this series and now i wouldn’t even dare to watch any more seasons.

[@xCestLaVie1]

She ruined season 3. Made it more about some gat sex scenes than the actual love story. No one was pulled into the love story, yet they spent more time developing the gay sub plots. Stop straying so far from the books, this is the reason why theres a show in the first place.

Fire her! She ruined the show!!

Season 3 had bad writing, pacing and editing

I copied and pasted this interview from season three showrunner (Jess) we could’ve had virgin Collin if it wasn’t for Shanda. We could’ve had our Jamie Fraser of the Bridgerton universe. wasted potential now I have to endure the shitty 💩 characterization. F Boy redemption ark everywhere I go when I’m trying to escape it through fanfiction. (INTERVIEW) 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Now I want to know if there was a Shonda note on Penelope and Colin. That creative collaboration is so sacred. I will say Shonda and I debated Colin's virginity. I was pro Colin being a virgin because it tracked with his character. In my mind, him coming back at the start of the season acting like he was this Regency F-boy was surely an act. But Shonda made a really good point, which was that if he is really trying to convince himself, he's doing it [being a womanizer]. I think some of those scenes in the brothel, for example, which I know are very controversial, when Shonda and I were talking about it, these represent him trying to lean into this toxic masculinity and trying to prove to himself that he can be just like his older brothers. As you can see in the second [brothel scene], he can't even convince himself for longer than a week or whatever that this is what he wants. I ultimately really agreed with her. She's a genius at - I mean, she often gives notes that I know are going to be controversial, but they're also going to be the thing that gets people excited about the storyline, and talking about it, and debating it. I'm glad that Shonda pushes me into a space where we're making stronger creative choices.😳

She ruined the show, she should be fired

[@redder5375]

She freaking ruined two of my favourite characters damn, instead of creating new characters why ruined them

[@sarickacampbell2642]

She ruined all the characters. Colin was by far the worst, but which specific two characters are you talking about?

[@MaraGros199]

@@sarickacampbell2642 I think Francesca and Michael

[@sarickacampbell2642]

@@MaraGros199 I didn’t even think about Michael due to him, not existing. Not talking about the plot or the story but The characterization for all the characters have been horrendous. But as far as Francesca characterization goes, I would say she took the least damage Along with Gregory and Hyacinth. 🪻

[@MaraGros199]

@@sarickacampbell2642 Yes, I don't really think about Francesca and Michael either, I said that I thought that the person who initially posted the comment was thinking about Francesca and Michael. And I agree that the characterization of the characters this season was horrible, they ruined such good characters. Including Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton, they both kind of pissed me off this season, not to mention Eloise

[@redder5375]

@@sarickacampbell2642 I agree she did damage to so many of the characters, I was specifically talking about Colin and Francesca

She didn't do right with this season so disappointed

🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃 This type of characterization does not make any sense for Colins character. 👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾 The new show-runner decides to redo Simon‘s ark. And just scrap the character that they set up for two seasons. Simon’s ark makes sense for him. It makes sense why he would be so selfish. He is an abused, traumatized man. 👨🏾 Who is touch starved? And affection starved. He’s never really known love devotion safety. Affection & Acceptance. Colin doesn’t struggle from any of that. He grew up in a loving household. He’s always been supported and taken care of. The level of the disrespect of how they destroyed Colins character in comparison to every single other male character. Is an unforgivable offense. 1. Anthony at least had the decency to get himself a consistent mistress for years. so he’s not fathering potential bastards to be ignored. An STD’s 2. Benedict doesn’t pay for prostitutes. He sleeps with willing independent empowered women. not systematically oppressed prostitutes. 3. John Sterling is adorable. 4. Lord Debling by comparison, a truly secure man 🧍‍♂️ who stands for his own conviction. 5.Featherington girls husbands are cinnamon rolls The Colin we got. Is undeserving of. The ever faithful ever waiting, {Penelope}. Loyal to Odysseus wayward wondering 🤔 Man W***ing ass. They had so much potential. The chemistry and story in season 1 and 2 were so cute and refreshing but the writers instead chose to turn it into a typical overused fuckboy redemption story. There are other ways where they could express the 'trying to fit in' storyline but they chose to ruin Colin's character instead. 😤 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ I can pretend to be a thief, but if I’m actually thieving, then I’m a thief. It’s not a persona or an act. It’s who I am. Because it’s what I’m doing. Having Colin be a sellout to his morals and values. That he once held also dear. After one summer away because Penelope didn’t write ✍🏻 him ? compromises him as man in the eyes 👀 of his fan base. Simon and Anthony never held such values so they weren’t betraying anything. Colin was supposed to be one of the exceptions. All the Featherington girls were supposed to marry cinnamon rolls. It’s not fake or faking when you actually sell your integrity down the river. Just to be accepted. And become everything you proclaimed that you were not. You are who you choose to be. When your morals can be compromised just for the sake of pointless validation. What would’ve actually given him a leg 🦵 to stand on is if he wasn’t doing everything he suddenly deemed reprehensible. And unworthy of the title of gentlemen If Colin had felt a bone-deep disdain for this ridiculous society that he had been born into. He would’ve held himself to a different standard, hold on to his Morals even if was just privately. (But he didn’t) 👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽 You would think after everything That happened with Marina 🐚, a truly compassionate man, sensitive, thoughtful & caring wouldn’t risk putting bastards into the world just for them to be abandoned. And never know their father. Imagine if Colin father a daughter who ends up being some man’s W****. And Toy 🧸. You would think a man of HONOR would think about Those consequences. Colin was held to a different standard than Simon and Anthony. Is it right? Is it fair? 🤷🏽‍♀️. He’s the puppy. He’s the sweet loyal Hufflepuff 🦡. He’s supposed to be cuddly and non-threatening one. Simon and Anthony are best friends for a reason they’re both touched in head, assholes. It’s understandable, why they are the way they are. We know from the books that Anthony is planning on dying young like his father so he’s trying to avoid attachments. The man is a bit tweaked in the head from taking on so much responsibility at the age of 18 and having to deal with his postpartum depressed grieving mother and all of his 7 siblings. At the end of Anthony season. He learned that the man that he was was no man at all. He was a reprehensible thoughtless Cad and you’re telling me. Who needed to humble himself to deserve his soulmate. And you’re telling me the lesson Colin learned in this is be a W*** in 17 cities. 🌆 Colin is a trust fund brat, who gets to travel the world on his rich 🤑 inheritance. Making him a Mr. World international Rake. Makes him extremely selfish. Even more than Simon and Anthony. I saw on Instagram a interview that the actor (Luke) didn’t like the whole brothel scene. He said the characterization came out of nowhere for him. Kinda took him by surprise. 😮 It’s one thing to surprise your audience with a character change, but to completely deform the character to point your wondering, who the hell is this creep? Long story short Colins reasoning for becoming this man is empty and hollow and it makes Colin looks empty and hollow. Colin have spoken so strongly against the practice before. a true gentleman would never expose his lady to such a health hazard. What does it mean of Colin, that you would risk Penelope like that?" ❓⁉️
