BRIDGERTON TV SERIES
TO ARRIVE THIS CHRISTMAS
Well, I'm sad to admit, but this looks even trashier than we expected and the blackwashing in it is even more brutal than we thought - they've even

how silly and ridiculous it looks. The eight episode Regency Era set drama will arrive to
Netflix December 25th! Narrated by
Julie Andrews, it follows the lives of the eight Bridgerton siblings, a wealthy family living in Regency England. Based largely on Quinn's first novel in the series,
The Duke and I, the first season is tracking the story of Daphne Bridgerton (
Phoebe Dynevor), as she embarks on a fake courtship with Simon, the Duke of Hastings (
Regé Jean Page). Beset by influence from Queen Charlotte (
Golda Rosheuvel) and societal pressures, Daphne and Simon turn to each other to try to beat the ton at their own game. But things get complicated when their fauxmance starts to feel all too real.
BRIDGERTON
is set in the sexy, lavish and competitive world of Regency London high
society. From the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair to the aristocratic
palaces of Park Lane and beyond, the series unveils a seductive,
sumptuous world replete with intricate rules and dramatic power
struggles,

where no one is truly ever on steady ground. At the heart of
the show is the powerful Bridgerton family. Comprised of eight close
knit siblings (each of them has one of the eight novels set between 1813
and 1827 dedicated too them), this funny, witty, daring and clever
group must navigate the upper ten thousand’s marriage mart in search of
romance, adventure and love.
WHO ELSE IS IN THE CAST?
The rest of the Bridgerton clan includes
Ruth Gemmell as matriarch Lady Violet;
Jonathan Bailey as eldest child Anthony;
Luke Thompson as sensitive Benedict;
Luke Newton as charmer Colin;
Claudia Jessie as independent Eloise; and
Ruby Stokes as shy Francesca. The youngest siblings, Gregory and Hyacinth, are still children when we first meet them and will be played by Will Tilston and Florence Hunt, respectively.

Rhimes should arrive sometime soon and I shall paste it here as soon as that happens if you are, of course, still interested in watching it after seeing all the colourful trashiness in these first photos!
Geez Dezzy. Get with the "woke" crowd *eye roll* Yeah, I'll pass on this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm giving it a wide berth too, I was even considering whether to even do a post on this crap or not... As if Shonda did not learn anything when her last wokish rewrite of history in STILL STAR CROSSED flopped massively on ABC. That woman is just nasty.
DeleteEverything in Netflix has to be controversial? Even this trash?
ReplyDeleteYes, when they're not parading little girls dressed as hoes for paedophiles, they're blackwashing King Arthur or Regency Era for the woke audiences.
DeleteHope it flops just like Still Star Crossed.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, but it probably won't, just like that horrid OUTLANDER series, this was also has a very strong female fandom who are blinded by their love for these books.
DeleteThat blue dress is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very lovely colour!
DeleteI even had a crush on the set of clothes the main male lead was wearing as seen in the photo ..., and wanted to take a photo in that outfit 😊
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those pants would look great on you!
DeleteHmm, not for me I guess! But the costumes look really pretty!
ReplyDeleteSure, if one likes wearing draperies and upholstery in public :))
DeleteI'm sure there are some that appreciate you sharing this post. You know, those that don't mind the switching of characteristic and such.
ReplyDeleteFOr sure, I did have a number of retweets for it.
DeleteI consider myself pretty tolerant, but this is too much! Have you seen Hamilton yet? It’s a broadway play that Disney aired a few months back. I had to stop and google who everyone was because the cast was as clear as Queen Elizabeth above. :)
ReplyDeleteCannot stand Lin Manuel Miranda, such a terribly terrible actor, truly atrocious and yet he seems to be everywhere ruining every project they put that talentless man in.
DeleteAlternate history, huh?
ReplyDeleteLike, literally.
DeleteLike Still Star Crossed this one will be cancelled as well. Shonda should understand that people want diversity but not woke history.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I don't think she will ever understand that :( And sometimes it is not even up to an individual, BBC, for example, has to put woke things in their programmes because the government won't give them funds otherwise and thus we have to watch woke crap in period set series even though they always flop.
