Must Watch | Bridgerton on Netflix

article image placeholderBridgerton | Official Trailer | Netflix
Okay. I need to know who is watching Bridgerton, because this is one of the hottest shows on Netflix right now, and I totally get why Shonda Rhimes never disappoints, but especially here I am obsessed. It's like Jane Austen, but on drugs. Does anyone else agree with me? If you're watching, please, please let me know I'm down need to talk about this show. Absolutely in love with it so far

I'm obsessed. https://youtu.be/gpv7ayf_tyE

So much to love about this show

But it was also very taboo to talk about intercourse at all and explain it to your children. And this creates a tension between the female lead and her mother because she gets married and she has her wedding night, and afterwards she's incredibly frustrated and angry with her mother for not preparing her for that experience at all because she had no idea what to expect

Bowie, I'm gonna have to loop Heidi onto this swell because she and my mom just got done watching Bridgeton, and they both absolutely loved it. They watched, like an episode of Night. I do have to say I have no idea what this show is about. Out. I feel like it's a show about sex, because all I heard from the other room were just, like, seven minute long, really aggressive sex scenes

I loved this show

So I did watch the whole season of Bridgeton. It took me, probably, like, three days because I became so addicted, and I actually finished the season out, probably, like, two weeks ago. But I love the twist that Shonda rhymes, the twist and the spins that she put with this. Oh, my God, it's very addictive. And I love the fact that to me, it had some parts, like, 50 Shades of Gray

I don't know if you all have watched it, but I was like, I need more right now. Give me more right now. And so with that being said, I actually just got a YouTube notification that is talking about Bridgeton season two. And I did some reading, and it looks like they're going to start shooting season two spring, so we do still have to wait for a little while, but I will just be so happy when we have more to watch

@Taylor

Taylor, you made me laugh so hard that I snorted because for some reason, when you mentioned True Blood and Game of Thrones together, I was like, Is Bridgeton just like a combination of True Blood and Game of Thrones Rounds? It's like you have the historical piece with the modern, sexy, difficult, dark, brooding male lead. And I don't know why I find it so funny

@liora

Leora, I completely agree the way in which they handle race and race relations. And like the history of race in this world, I just think is so well done. And I wish more shows did this and the cast is just so talented. And the chemistry between so many of the characters, even like the leads, but then also the tertiary characters is just incredible. I love so many of them, and the way in which they balance all these different storylines is just so impressive

My mother in law and I LOVED this show

It's really sexy. I mean, I'm sitting here with a 23 year old, gorgeous woman. And here I am, 65. And I must say, it is probably about one of the sexiest things I've seen in a long time. So, yes, do keep little ones out of the room. And, yeah, we just overall, really liked it. We watched an episode about every single night, and now we're done

@heidiattheparks Sweet Magnolias! 😹

And we were cracking up today because she said everything in response to what you should watch after Bridgeton to fill the hole in your life. Is Sweet Magnolias, so highly recommended. Would love to hear what you both think, Heidi and Don. And just like a forewarning, it's not quite as steamy as Bridgeton, but it still has all the great drama, except it has, like, a Southern twist on it

Ready to watch 👀 !!

And actually, right now I'm watching Emily in Paris, and it's pretty good. I didn't like the first episode, but I'm really getting into it. And yeah, I'm glad for your recommendation. Thanks

Duke news! https://s.swell.life/SSU1Xx7a1DSR3nW

Breaking Bridgeton news. Y'all I don't know how many of you already know this. This is spoilers if you haven't watched the show yet, so stop listening now if you don't want spoilers, but the the gorgeous human being who plays the Duke in Bridgeton has announced that he will not be returning to the show, and apparently it turns out that he did not even want to consider coming back for a few episodes in the next season, despite being offered a $50,000 paybump for each episode
