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.

LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX © 2020 Well well, dear readers--here we are. Bridgerton has finally premiered and its first episode is a grand escapade full of some riveting introductions.
