“You didn’t go over the wall” I just gave up and cried

[@MoviesinDepth]

ME. CRYING.

@@MoviesinDepth It was so sad

[@aliaj98]

That scene and their scene in the observatory......😭😭😭

[@Lillianna2478]

Older Brimsley dancing by himself and the king and queen under the bed at the end utterly destroyed me 😭

[@teleytubby]

Fr the out loud scream cry that left my throat at Brimsley dancing alone was a surprise

[@adri_makeup]

No literally I can’t watch those scenes without full on ugly crying😭😭😭

[@chelsea.1234]

i just watched it for the first time the other day and full on sobbed at those two scenes 😭😭

[@anthonyorsini]

Oh sure Violet can say she wants to be gardened as much as possible but when I say I want farmer George to plow my field it's "crude."

[@aaliyahbrown5739]

one of the most precious things about the pomeranian is that now in present day in Bridgerton, Charlotte has like ten pomeranians🥹

[@mamaseesa3122]

I saw a fan theory that George keeps forgetting and sending her more pomeranians.

[@namjoonswife3300]

Both of the under the bed scenes broke me, especially the last scene😭😭😭😭😭😭

Not me BAWLING at those scenes

"this is the start to a new little friendship, so sweet." who's gonna tell him 😭

[@towanalucas2080]

In real life Charlotte dies a year before George. Historians doubted that he even knew she died

[@agenttheater5]

a bit of me's thinking 'don't tell him'. I heard somewhere (though I think it was just a rumour) that later in life he kept talking to a pillow as if it was one of his younger sons who'd died.

[@swymaj02]

it weren't 2?

[@AQueenofMultiMagic]

George was a farmer, so of course he was planting the Queen's garden! LOL! Also, the song they were dancing to at the end was SZA 'Nobody Gets Me." Even though it would have been messy, Lady Danbury as Violet's stepmother would have been better than her bio mother, she was horrible! Such a reaction and cannot wait for Season 3 of Bridgerton; I think you will love it!

[@Lillianna2478]

The fact that Lady Danbury is saying that to Violet the DAUGHTER of the man who made her garden bloom 😳 22:40

[@UmalovesCamila]

She's messy😭😭

[@sequoiakawenga6064]

If you didn't know Charlottle in the present still wears the same gowns that she did back when she was young to help George recognize her and it also shows how she is stuck in time.. also when they had the ball on the last episode, Charlottle had jewels in her hair to keep George grounded cause they look like stars in her hair

[@HuntingViolets]

As we know from the "modern-day" scenes, the country is in the hands of George and Charlotte's son, George, who is regent because his father isn't capable to rule. That is why we have the Regency era.

[@agenttheater5]

15:35 See the story in real life is that Charlotte was rumoured to have "Moor ancestry" perhaps 10 or 15 generations ago. Some have wondered, based on the differences in her appearance in the various paintings of her, if she herself was dark skinned and that some painters made her skin look lighter to hide it. Can't be proven I don't think. This is an alternative history where she was definitely dark-skinned.

[@swymaj02]

prolly from like the Middle Ages, therefore nothing of her blackness will have survived.

[@sarahsupasweet]

This season (spinoff) was so emotional and stunning in a way that's different from the rest of Bridgerton. They're all so amazing but QC really hit differently.

[@aaliyahbrown5739]

that love confession scene broke me into a million pieces😭if i even hear the music played during that scene i start to tear up🥹 George and Charlotte are THE BEST BRIDGERTON COUPLE and no one can tell me otherwise😭❤

[@agenttheater5]

2:01 About 100 years ago they recommended surgery for women with what they then called 'hysteria' - meaning surgically removing her womb to improve her mental state, justifying it as identifying it as the source of her troubles. Meaning 100 years ago from today.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Thaaaat is crazy

[@agenttheater5]

@@MoviesinDepth Freud once did surgery on a woman's nose (this was early on in his career, and of course the nose is another phallic symbol), did such a bad job it had to be removed (oddly enough from what I've heard the woman in question (an early woman's rights activist) still identified herself as a Freudian (hats of to her for not taking destruction of her nose personally I guess). A doctor in the 1920s and 30s called Doctor Cotton allowed the surgeons in his clinic to perform experimental surgery and allowed the dentists to remove women's teeth as well, the idea was to find the source of the madness and remove it (her teeth or something else). I think his justification was that when you get sick something of the illness stays in you, it was either that he saw mental illness as a physical illness or he theorised that if you were ill when you were younger it stayed with you and manifested into insanity, I'm not sure though. He got so many people under his care because of support from people who shared his beliefs and who exaggerated his levels of success.

[@towanalucas2080]

They did love each other. They had 15 children. Historical fact is none of the 15 children produced an heir to the throne

[@MoviesinDepth]

Really???? That is crazy

[@chechantal]

Edward did (eventually) produce an heir. Queen Victoria. The baby that’s mentioned in the last episode would technically be Queen Victoria.

[@towanalucas2080]

Well there was a granddaughter but she died. They showed it in this show

[@antoinettetruss1991]

That is not true they actually produced several after Queen Victoria was born

[@chechantal]

@@towanalucas2080 that is accurate. Princess Charlotte of Wales died in childbirth. Then, the second legitimate granddaughter was born to their son Edward and his wife. They got married in the 6th episode and told Queen Charlotte they were pregnant. She hugged him. Historically, that granddaughter was Queen Victoria. The real Charlotte died before Victoria was born and never met the heir.

[@agenttheater5]

39:27 We're all hoping we'll see Reynolds later on. I think someone has confirmed he hasn't died which is what everyone thought. But he is the Kings man - he has to attend to the king as long as he either lives or as long as he is able to. And George is kept away from everyone else he has to stay with him all the time so he and Brimsley hardly ever get to see each other anymore.

[@deancontiwriter13]

which is probably the saddest reality in my opinion. like, when you think of the situation for queer people at the time, most likely when one realized they were they thought they were going to end up alone or in an unhappy marriage. But Brimsley and Reynolds most probably thought they had been lucky. They got to have a relationship that was, while yet secret which came with its own set of issues, secure, happy and full of love. They would've thought they were so fortunate to have found each other and to have found each other under such circumstances. Then, the King went fully mad. And all their fears from before they met became true anyway, both of them were alone once again.

[@agenttheater5]

39:33 That's Queen Victoria they're talking about. Their eldest son George became George the 4th (he'd declared bankruptcy twice as his time as Prince Regent and only married his wife Caroline of Brunswick because Parliament agreed to pay off his debts if he did, they hated each other), his one legitimate child died (the young woman whose funeral this show began with) before him. The second song Frederick died before Georg the Fourth did (the one who said he hadn't seen his wife for 20 years), so William (the one Charlotte gave the talk to about love being a choice) became King after him. In real life he was nearly twice his wife's age and he had several illegitimate children by then, but by all accounts theirs was an affectionate marriage and she actually got on pretty well with his illegitimate children. They had no children of their own, just a few miscarriages but they still made it work. Some reckon that that's why they wanted their niece Victoria to attend their court more often (as the daughter of the fourth son Edward, Victoria was next in line, and apparently the heir apparent is retired to attend the current monarch at their court, but her mother and her mother's advisor kept her under really close reigns after her father's death).

[@swymaj02]

that William even vowed to live long enough to see Vicky reach the age of majority, as a big f u to her mum. 😂😂😂

[@mollypocrass4562]

And he kept that vow and died a month after she turned 18

[@symiki7609]

did i cry again? yes, i did

[@MoviesinDepth]

Literal queen

[@agenttheater5]

18:55 He may be prince regent - but she's still his mother.

[@agenttheater5]

14:38 Women can't inherit the entire estate. It always has to go to the nearest living male relative. Which is why it's important for women to have sons because they they have some security then when their husbands die - it's less likely that a man will throw his mother and sisters out of the house. If a cousin or a second cousin inherited the house he would be in his rights to throw the widow and her daughters out of the house and they'd have to find some other place to live (which is where having other male relatives may help). I'm not sure how Lady Catherine got her house in Pride and Prejudice though, but earlier int he book Mr Bennett commented that when he died his cousin whom he's never seen before Mr COllins may through Mrs Bennett and their five daughters out of their house, and in Sense and Sensibility a man died and his son from his first marriage inherited the house and moved in with his family which meant the dead mans family from his second marriage had to find another place to live.

[@Xenolilly]

I think this season is the best. Queen Charlotte.

[@samimiller827]

I know its not an official broadway musical, but if you haven't heard it yet, there's an unofficial/concept bridgerton musical based on the first season, it's pretty good imo

[@MoviesinDepth]

Ohhhh not me looking up the bootlegs as we speak

[@ageekylibrarian]

It won a Grammy and is available on all platforms!

[@leilanyx_]

​​@@MoviesinDepth there's no stage play but there is a concept album available on spotify! the writers of the songs did run into some legal trouble w netflix tho, i believe bc they held a concert and made money off of performing the songs (i could be wrong, i just know they ran into legal issues over it and i think that's why) so it got a little dicey, but i almost prefer it to the first season of the show lol. it's partly what made me want to watch the show properly.

[@koifishshyra]

They already have a Bridgerton musical! It is sooo good, however it has some drama behind it 🫠 Barlow & Bear are heaven sent

[@agenttheater5]

5:59 Yep - and since we don't know what exactly was wrong with him it means we can interpret his madness any way we want if it's for a plot device - i.e. high pitched giggling and obsessive possessive love of a colony in Hamilton, completely delusional in Blackadder season 3 (newspaper item "King talks to tree, phew, what a loony!"), porphyria in the 1990's play and movie 'The madness of King George' (which was the theory at the time though some have questioned that diagnosis later on). Most recently the theories of what exactly was wrong with him have included acute mania, bipolar disorder and possibly in later life dementia (they're thinking maybe one of the others earlier on and then dementia settled in later in life - some say that bipolar disorder can give rise to dementia). There are other stories as well - in Jean Rhys (60s historical novel writer) she had him suddenly yelling when he got worked up about things, in the BBC seriesVictoria one of his younger sons said that George kept seeing a red dog everywhere (might have just been a rumour), heard a rumour that later in life he kept talking to a pillow, maybe holding it as well, as if it were one of his sons who had died (his and Charlotte's 13th and 14th child both died before they were five, both boys, both in the same year - Charlotte was pregnant with her 15th at the time, the daughter she gave birth too died in her late 20s, the Amelia she mentioned in her scene with George in season 1). As I said, we're not sure.

[@teleytubby]

"Hide from the heavens with me" umm excuse me who turned the faucet in my eyes on, that line hits the soul

[@garlantyrell6368]

Great job on the reactions. I loved King George and Queen Charlotte together and wept tears in that last scene. I hope you enjoyed this spin-off and I also hope you enjoy season 3 whenever you start reacting to it.

[@Sytrylt]

No matter how much I see the last scene, and how much it's cut... I still cry XDDD Great video, I was happy to see you react to Queen Charlotte.

[@pterra9]

what kills me is she kept her old fashion even when fashion changes so that George can recognize her

[@agenttheater5]

34:30 I don't know whether or not George the second did beat his grandson George the Third or his daughter in law, but from what I can tell he and his son Frederick (George the Thirds father) hated each other - so much that when his wife went into labour Frederick got her into the carriage to take her to another palace to spite his father by not letting him be in the same castle when his grandson was born.

[@nadiar.4638]

36:30 "would parliament take away the kings rights?" That might not be the worst outcome. This takes place around the time of the French revolution aka the end of the french monarchy. Charlotte was good friends with Marie Antoinette and organised for the french royals to take refuge in England, but they got executed before they could escape.

[@enikocsaszar2874]

I think my favorite part is when they confess their love for each other.

[@xxprettylittlethings]

yeah therapists and "doctors of the mind" didn't really exist at this point. George, later on in life, did in fact end up working with one of the very first. I HIGHLY recommend the Lucy Worsley documentary "Lucy Worsley Investigates". She has an episode on George and his mental illness that is the most up to date and modern understanding of his condition. I cannot recommend it enough. I would also watch her series The First Georgians: The German Kings Who Made Britain. In particular the last two episodes out of the three part series start to discuss the previous king who was this George's grandfather. He and George's father HATED each other and he died relatively young, leave Augusta (George's mother) in a horrific position that kind explains why she's portrayed as an utter tyrant in this. Hurray for context!!!

[@KrystleMia2327]

Not the puppers is hilarious love it 😂😂 great reaction again

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

We just finished with my sis the Day of Black Sun episodes in Avatar. You can only imagine how hard she cheered when Zuko called his father for the abusive SOB he is lol

[@xeibear4865]

I think something people glance over too easily is how King George's mother, Princess Augusta, hinted at how she had been abused by her father-in-law and that George was not exempt from his abuse after his father/her husband died. So from this information alone, we can assume that part of King George's illness worsened with the abuse or may have somewhat started because of it.

Back in the 15th century to literally the 18th nobody knew anything because life itself was still evolving so some of the things we have now werent invented even then so they thought that the "medical equipment" they were using was helpful but time proved it made things worse in the golden age of Hollywood they use the same methods on actresses who unfortunately would develop stroke after or some mental problems and die so its pretty shity 🤮😨
