A very warm welcome back to our lives Bridgerton! I have to be honest with myself, I wasnt really excited about this season, maybe because I didnt quite connect with these characters in the previous seasons, so I am fully surprised by this.
First, CHEMISTRY!!!! God knows how captivated I was by their amazing on screen chemistry. They are surreal to watch.
I also loved the fact that we get to know Francesca a bit more and they brought us back our girl Eloise to steal the show.
Colin and Penelopes scenes were just too hot to watch, they were absolutely burning for each other!
So far, it didnt dissapoint, looking forward to Part 2!

"Bridgerton" is an absolute delight! From the first episode, I was hooked by its glamorous portrayal of Regency-era London. The cast is superb, with Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page delivering standout performances as Daphne and Simon. The chemistry between them is electric, making their love story utterly compelling. The show's modern twist on classic period drama, with a diverse cast and contemporary music, adds a fresh and exciting dimension. The costumes and set designs are stunning, creating a truly immersive experience. "Bridgerton" is a perfect blend of romance, drama, and scandal. Highly recommend!

Even though this is the second time I've watched all the seasons of Bridgerton, every episode still feels as fresh and impactful as the first time.
This series, despite portraying the hardships and realities of its era, succeeds in depicting true love in a way that still resonates deeply with viewers today.
At first glance, one might think that true love simply means the romantic relationship between a man and a woman, but the reality goes much deeper.
In the season that tells Colin and Penelope's story, there's a line from the tailor to Penelope that stayed with me: "There is no true love until you consider yourself." For me, this was a turning point.
It means true love begins from within us-from the moment we respect ourselves, understand ourselves, grow, and only then can we share that love with others-our life partners and the people around us.
This message is not only relevant to the 19th century society depicted in the show.
Today, in 2025, we live in a world that might look very different-feminism might not be discussed as much because women have gained more awareness and stronger positions-but that doesn't take away the challenges and complexities we face now.
Bridgerton reminds us that no matter who we are or when we live, what truly matters is our personal growth, our connection to our inner selves, and discovering true love-that love which flows from our hearts and brings us closer to our real purpose in this world.
I deeply thank everyone involved in this series-from the directors and writers to the producers and every single crew member-for creating something iconic that, beyond all the glamour, reveals a profound reality; a reality that is blossoming inside many of us right now.

Penelope is miss it right now hunny and I receive it all!! She's beginning to see what it's like to be pursued and this time around, she has a suitor arrive at her home which puts the zip we've needed for three seasons around her mother's lips. In the Bridgerton house, similar is happening with Francesca who is being pursued by two suitors as well. And if it is the mind versus the heart, the heart is winning! Colin seems to be hurting watching Penelope slip away from her to the likes of Lord Debling and it appears his heart is urging him to do something about it. The tension and buildup, again, is a beautiful thing to watch. And by the time the episode concludes I was screaming and whooping and hollering at the tv because I love a good friends to lovers trope, especially when well executed! June cannot come quickly enough. I'm ready for part 2... sighs in fake angst!
