It is only then, moments away from saying 'I Do', that Edwina suddenly realizes the feelings shared between Anthony and her sister, and she calls off the ceremony entirely, giving them the opening they need for their romance. In the show, the writers do away with their forced marriage and instead Anthony and Kate pine for each other constantly, until the eldest Bridgerton does the one thing he never did in the book: He proposes to Edwina regardless.ĭespite obviously having feelings for Kate, Anthony barrels ahead with his original plan of wedding Edwina and, in fact, they get as far as the altar and have a lavish ceremony sponsored by Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) herself. Once married, Kate and Anthony still bicker but they slowly come to realize how much they care for one another, and fall deeply in love. The pair are actually caught in a rather precarious position when Kate gets stung by a bee and Anthony uses some unexpected methods to save her from the venom, which he does in a panic because it was a bee that killed his father. In The Viscount Who Loved Me, Anthony does start out pursuing Edwina but eventually his feelings for Kate become too strong, and vice versa.

The good actors, elegant dresses, and dark/mood themes were there and they completely squandered the talent and resources. It was SO promising and could have been done well but completely flopped. Half a star as it was a major disappointment. It was a poor substitute to Emma Thompson’s heartfelt monologue beside her (dying) sister’s bed in Sense & Sensibility.

When the younger sister gets sad and started talking to her at the bedside, I was livid.

And falling off the horse is straight out of Sense and Sensibility. The clothing, behaviours (such as personal displays of affection), and diversity make it all appear like a modern day dress up lawn party at a rented British castle. Also, can we stop calling this a regency anything. I found myself squinting to see, “Is that a nipple or a chair… I can’t tell?” I recall recoiling and cringing as soon as she sat down already knowing the dialogue would be cringy all to lead up to a rash sex scene with zero thought put into was about to occur. For the one true sex scene, the cinematography was far too dark and it was utterly anti-climatic. This one was completely out of focus and incongruent.

At least the first season focused more on Daphne and the Duke. It looks very much like this is a ‘filler' season with more focus on secondary characters and their stories more so than the main leads. It was also classless how copious the setups were for future seasons. Honestly, I would rather go to the dentist than ever have to rewatch this season. The reality is that Season 2 had a garbage script, too much fluffy dialogue, chunky/awkward love scenes, not enough sex/steam and could have been over and done in 4 episodes top as that was all that the plot contained. It felt like time I can never get back and I wished in those grand monologues about the importance of love, that they would just get on with the plot and make stuff actually happen. The droning on and on about their feelings and love was outright boring and juvenile. Likewise, the emotion and empty excessive Victorian-speak was vapid and distasteful. (*Spoiler Alert*) The actors and sets were great but the plot and dialogue were pure rubbish! The dialogues were incredibly cringy (You vex me!) and the climactic scenes were incredibly weird (because after thinking of my dead father after seeing you stung by a bee, the first thing I want to do is get sexy… okay, sure *eye roll*).
