@@eleafowleri would highly recommend the book series!! Theres only one book I felt eh about in the series (eloise’s book) but otherwise they were all really fun, easy romance books ❤
I calculated Francesca and John's screentime and they had 14:37 mins together onscreen lol. However their moments were always happy and romantic so it felt fuller which is why it seems they had more screentime when in reality Benedict and Tilly had even more screentime than them lol
@@africansweetheart9590 Woww thats actually insane!! Also I WHOLEHEARTEDLY feel like Benedict and Tilly were onscreen so much because they were used as a way of having more “spicy scenes” for PR to gush about.
@@Kenny-bu4uv Oh good to know!! That would be great too to see lord anderson and violet together more too. I think she has her own book with edmund(?) 🤔 but I haven't read it yet if there is.
I am genuinely confused by your comment that they fought for so much of their season. The first episode, Pen was still upset at Colin, and then he was upset for like, an episode and a half at the end, but that's it. That's pretty much as long as Daphne and Simon were at odds, and way less than Kate and Anthony were! Also, as for Colin not supporting Pen as Whistledown, or empathizing with her at all? For most of the season, he didn't know, and when he found out, it took him all of a week or two to come to terms with it. Once he finds out, he has a lot to process... 1) reconciling the fact that the woman he loves most and the woman he hated most are in fact the same person, 2) questioning how well he actually knows her, since he was unaware of such a huge part of her life, 3) the woman he loves/trusts most in the world is the same one who called him out in front of the entire ton, which would be hurtful in any relationship, whether romantic or not, 4) traumatic flashbacks to his situation with Marina, which, though it was different, had a few striking parallels- mainly his fiance keeping a huge secret from him and making him feel like the same fool being taken advantage of again, 5) Penelope, who he already thought was out of his league, is now not only the amazing, clever, beautiful woman he knew, but also a renowned writer with her own personal fortune. What could he possibly do to deserve her now? 6) embarrassment at having gone on about his writing, only to now feel like a joke, and that she must have just been humoring him, 7) fear over what might happen to her if she's caught, which is becoming more and more likely as the queen is on the hunt, especially after she shows up at the wedding, and 8) feeling absolutely powerless in the face of all this. Honestly, the fact that he was able to get through all that with just a few weeks of self reflection is INCREDIBLY mature and admirable. Simon and Anthony took their entire seasons to get over their shit. But speaking of not empathizing with or trying to see things from someone else's perspective, I would like to point out that Colin gets a raw deal when it comes to people's reactions to this season. Penelope is the audience's viewpoint character for the most part, which means people have a VERY skewed view of Colin. We see her story in all its complexity and nuance- all her struggles with identity and self-worth and struggling to do the right thing even if her attempts are misguided sometimes. But Colin is just seen as the handsome, popular, rich guy with a generic male ego that needs to be taken down a peg or two, no nuance required. We see all his actions only in the light of how they affect Penelope. How dare he have feelings or struggles of his own that get in the way of Penelope's happiness? We fully support Pen's anger over his comment the previous season, and people wanted him to suffer and grovel for it. But when Pen does the same thing but worse to him, those same people defend her. And when Colin finds out, he can't be upset about it without being accused of being unsupportive. We see Lady Whistledown through Pen's eyes (as self-expression and power, and a key part of her identity). So if Colin is upset about that, he's a jerk who wants to stifle her and can't accept who she is. We ignore the fact that there is a lot of other baggage that comes with it (all the things I listed above). His entire reaction gets simplified and rewritten as "Wah... I can't handle my wife being so awesome! Poor me!" Which is absolutely ridiculous. Also, for what it's worth, Colin was not the one urging Penelope to settle for him. That was Eloise and her mother. Colin's main opposition to her continuing to write as Whistledown was because he was being protective of her. Pay attention to the times it comes up between them- In their fight before the wedding, he talked about the danger she was putting herself in. After the queen crashed the wedding, he was talking about the disaster she so nearly missed. And when Cressida tried to blackmail her, it was all those fears being realized. I would invite you to consider why Penelope loves him so much... because she knows the real Colin and that he is nothing like the "trash" you called him. He is a sweet, gentle, excitable, romantic, trusting man, who spent the first two seasons being either taken advantage of or mocked for those qualities. So he came back this season hiding behind the persona of a rake. "Trying to feel less, trying to be the man society expects" in his own words, and "hiding the parts of [himself] that the world will not accept" to borrow hers. And the fact that this persona garners outward praise and reward only deepens the loneliness and emptiness he feels (see his response to Anthony's praise over getting so much female attention in episode 1, or his response to Fife and co. in episode 4). He has such a low sense of self-worth, and an ingrained belief that he has to DO something to earn or deserve love. He adores Penelope, even before there are any (recognized) romantic feelings, and he's completely done in once those feelings become romantic. He finds it hard to believe that she could actually feel the same way (he said as much in episode 5), and wants to prove himself to be worthy of her (the reason he gives for wanting to edit his book on his own in episode 6). Btw, you should check out Sammy Bates' videos on the subject, specifically her character analysis of Colin, for all the receipts on what I'm saying (there are a LOT more than I can write out here). Penelope and Colin are actually on very similar journeys this season, even though it might not seem like it on the surface. Both are struggling to integrate and value ALL the parts of themselves, not just the parts society finds acceptable. Both have incredibly low self worth and put the other on a pedestal. It was never an issue of not loving or respecting each other, but not loving and respecting themselves. Both spend the season building the other up, showing them that who they are is beautiful and worthy of love, regardless of anything else they might do, and when they both eventually learn that lesson, they come together with nothing left between them. It's beautiful! They are perfect for each other. Not only their friendship and newfound passion, but also the way they build each other up, and encourage each other to be themselves and pursue their dreams. This was absolutely my favorite season, and they are my favorite couple. I honestly can't imagine any future season topping it.
The books are OKAY...the series it's just weird as it's poorly adapted and gets worse as seasons advance... The woke part sucks.... Not even going to watch it anymore😮....there are good period TV shows....I loved Sanditon
I pray someone comes up with a really great period drama in the next two years that makes me forget Bridgerton ever existed.
Why there is a hope season 4 could be better and any way my favourite is still season 2 as no one comes close to Kanthony
as a person who hasn't read the books, it also felt not good enough for me watching the series 💀
@@eleafowler it was just so dang mid 😭 I wanted to like it so much more than I actually DID like it.
@@julikyuu so the books were better right? 🤣

I disappointed in season 3😢
Me too 😭
The only good thing about this season is Kanthony❤❤
Ahhh yes they were so cute!! ♥
they said they are going to do a spinoff for violet and edmund during these 2 years
Oooo wait that's so exciting, I didn't know that!!
They haven’t officially confirmed it’s just speculation. I heard that it will be about Lord Anderson and Violet , with flashbacks of her and Edmund.
@@Kenny-bu4uv Oh good to know!! That would be great too to see lord anderson and violet together more too. I think she has her own book with edmund(?) 🤔 but I haven't read it yet if there is.
I wish we could have a Kanthony spin off in India

nice vid juli 👍🏼
Thanks Kaizuo!!
Sounds like my feelings for RWBY Volume 3... 😂
I haven't watched anything past the first season of RWBY and that was eons ago, but if it was anything like this...OOF 😭
@@julikyuu trust me... if Bridgerton S3 made you feel how you felt, RWBY Volume 3 will bring you a FUCK TON of despair
The books are OKAY...the series it's just weird as it's poorly adapted and gets worse as seasons advance... The woke part sucks.... Not even going to watch it anymore😮....there are good period TV shows....I loved Sanditon
