Mostly Analytical, Quintessentially Overdramatic
NETFLIX © 2020 Well, gentle readers—we’ve reached the end of the season. (Are we going to be doing this for eight years? Hopefully!) In its season finale “After the Rain” Bridgerton excelled at tying up loose ends and setting up the next season in an incredibly joyous little bow. This is type of content we... Continue Reading →
NETFLIX © 2020 What we say versus what we believe can sometimes differ and that is certainly the case in Bridgerton’s incredible penultimate episode. Since these stories do technically end after each season, it seems fitting that “Oceans Apart” would be the one before the remarkable finale. Tensions are running high in the Hastings/Basset household,... Continue Reading →
Source: PBS Spoilers Ahead Miss Scarlet and the Duke has finally graced screens in the U.S., which means we can finally discuss the series episode by episode.

NETFLIX © 2020 | Digital Painting by Jenna Guidi “Swish” should have been titled something along the lines of “The One Where All the Secrets Come Out” because really, that title does not set up the amount that happens in this episode or how it makes anyone feel. This one’s a tough one to cover.... Continue Reading →
NETFLIX © 2020 In which we are once again at the place where we scream at our television for two people to just talk to each other and put us out of our misery. It’s the one with all the hookups, the one where we roll our eyes too many times, and the one with... Continue Reading →
NETFLIX © 2020 Say it with us, loud and proud--agency. That’s the fundamental theme in Bridgerton’s fourth episode, “An Affair of Honor.” In other words, the duel—the one where situations get bleak and emotions are heightened for most of the characters. The one where we all have Hamilton’s “Ten Duel Commandments” stuck in our heads... Continue Reading →
NETFLIX © 2020 “Art of the Swoon” and the importance of transparency—the third episode of Bridgerton is all about the hands. (Was that not the thing we’ve all taken away from this?) While the episode might be somewhat lacking a bit thematically, it succeeds in making us swoon. And I suppose that’s the point. We’re... Continue Reading →
On this week's episode of Lady Geeks' Society Podcast, we discuss all things Bridgerton's "Shock and Delight." What did we think of the flashbacks? What is the deal with Nigel Berbrooke's persistence? Is Anthony on his way toward becoming Viscount Bridgerton? What about that final scene with Simon insisting Daphne call him by his name?...

Copyright © Simon Ridgway, 2019 HART & CROWN - WATER LANE Raise your hand if Shadow of Night is also your favorite book in the All-Souls trilogy--it's certainly ours and we were already so thrilled by the series' renewal that our expectations were high. And we're happy to report that with what we've seen so... Continue Reading →
NETFLIX © 2020 This episode should have been titled “The One with All the Baby Questions.” An episode so well balanced between humor and heartache, it’s hard to believe it’s only the season's second. “Shock and Delight” is a whirlwind of adventures, but it’s also the beginning of vulnerability, and the first exhibition of just...
