With what they’ve done with Eloise character on the show, I’m not sure how they are going to make the romance with her and Philip work in the show. I feel like people are not going to want her to end up with him. And they will definitely have to change her book adaptation a lot to make it work with what they’ve done in the show so far. Also, yes. Season two I feel like they were so focused on the drama that they absolutely ruined the sister’s relationship. And the betrayal was just too much. I just couldn’t root for Kate and Anthony in the end and found it hard to be happy for them. Francesca’s book is my favorite! So seeing the background of Francesca and Jon is going to make it more heartbreaking! I just love Colin and Penelope! And I hope we get more screen time with them in part two! I feel like the side stories have kind of taken too much time. But their first kiss, omg was so so good! The carriage scene was so good too! I do wish he would’ve found out sooner about her being lady whistle down though. I feel like they are going to amp up the drama and hope that doesn’t take over the season. Also, the cringe of Colin like trying to be flirty and stuff I think is intentional because he’s not being himself. He’s trying to be someone’s he’s not. But I have high hopes for part two!

It’ll be super interesting if they start messing with book couples, like not having show Eloise end up with Phillip. Also makes me wonder about Benedit’s pairing. I feel like a lot of people will be upset if they don’t end up with at least their book partners. But I agree that they’ve changed a lot so it’ll be interesting to see if it all comes together. I’m ready for part 2 as well and wish we didn’t have to wait a month for it 😅 So glad you enjoyed it too!

@@christireadsalot I read that Julia Quinn made a stipulation that they couldn’t change who the Bridgertons end up with. But I could be wrong! Also I forgot to mention that Queen Charlotte has been my favorite also! Absolutely loved it!!

[@christireadsalot]

@@esmereadsandeatsI’m so glad you loved Queen Charlotte too, so good! ❤

I absolutely adore your commentary and completely agree with your rankings! Honestly i love the love story of the first season obviously minus Daphne trying to baby trap the duke but throughout the season the attraction and relationship complications were very well represented. For season 2 i did like the drama but the love story felt disconnected and i felt myself struggling to believe Kate and Anthony were falling for each other, it didn’t feel real. Season 3 is my favorite out of the 3 minus the creeping feeling of them just trying to cram the stories together but i do love that we are getting to see new love interest of not just one Bridgerton. I cant wait to see what else they do for Colin and Pen!😁🫶🏽 (Also yes i did come your short ranking the books🩷)

Thank you so much for watching and for your shared thoughts too! So glad you loved S3 and same here, I can’t wait to see part 2! It can’t come soon enough. 💖

Yes, I love season 3 so far and my favorite.

[@christireadsalot]

So glad you loved it too!

[@DiagonalRachel]

I think I still like season 2 the best but this season will probably have a chance at being my fave when all the episodes are out 😂

[@christireadsalot]

I’m ready for part 2 as well! Still wish they didn’t break the season in two parts on us 😅 especially since they hadn’t done it with previous seasons at all.

[@listenwithprecious]

🎈Good idea! Feel like this season has the potential to do more than the books

[@christireadsalot]

I agree! Hope you enjoyed part 1 as well!

[@bamsmom2001]

I feel like they're trying to get people to feel sorry for Cresida and maybe even like her a little bit, and I'm trying to figure out how they're going to mesh that with how she behaves later in the story. Its doesnt make sense.

[@christireadsalot]

Oh yeah they’re absolutely trying to show how she became the way she is or acts the way she does for a reason. I wonder if they’re planning on keeping her character around longer so they want more substance to her character so to speak. We will see what she does though in part 2 👀😬

[@bookwormcherly7447]

Do you see Cresida and Eloise ending up in a relationship? I can see it from their interactions.

[@christireadsalot]

I don’t personally see that, hopefully Eloise can just help Cressida’s character grow more.

[@listenwithprecious]

@@christireadsalotagree. I didn’t see that

I loved season one and liking season 3 so far … didn’t like season 2… loved queen Charlotte

[@christireadsalot]

I agree, loved Queen Charlotte and S3 so far! S2 is definitely my least fav of what is out currently.
