Character Deep Dive: Penelope Featherington
NETFLIX © 2020 If not for Netflix's Bridgerton adaptation, people who had only read the first part of the story—the first of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series of books, The Duke and I—you would probably be wondering who Penelope Featherington is. As an extremely peripheral character in the first novel, her presence is noted along with... Continue Reading →
Bridgerton 1×08 “After the Rain” Review
NETFLIX © 2020 Well, gentle readers—we’ve reached the end of the season. (Are we going to be doing this for eight years? Hopefully!)

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 →
Bridgerton 1×04 “An Affair of Honor” Review
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 →
