Atlanta

Saw an article somewhere that they are doing rehearsals so don't see a season coming out so soon.

Didn't realize the woman who plays Prudence is the daughter of Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9392743/Jim-Carter-says-daughter-Bessie-wonderful-time-filming-Bridgerton.html

I loved loved the first "Coming To America" and was eager to see this. I'll say it's cute, but not much else. Where they banking on the nostalgia factor? The daughters and Lisa, IMO, were the more compelling characters. And, holy cow, Shari is still stunning! I can't stand Leslie Jones and couldn't stand her here. Also hate the roofie/date rape aspect. As someone else has said, him having a one nighter pre-Lisa would have been more palatable. Rick Ross's house stood in for the palace: https://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/rick-ross-house-3/view/bing/

Agree. Can't see how they could work that. I like the actress who plays her and I'd love to see her again next season, but can't see her being worked in as Sophie.

Those dresses were bad bad bad. No amount of styling, etc would help. LOL

If you're interested in aristos and sprawling country estates, I love Julie Montagu's Mapperton Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCySMIzA1MFSsSrkW7TU-jCQ and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDJ1_Zw-an79os309hDvHtg Her in-laws are the earl and countess of Sandwich. PS: Rosalyn Landor is an excellent narrator. I love audiobooks and podcasts (got me through marathon training a few years ago) and I'll find narrators I like and other things they have done. Found some authors I never would have heard of otherwise.

Been there a couple of times. Stunning in person.

Christina is pregnant https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/christine-quinn-only-shared-pregnancy-with-1-selling-sunset-co-star/ar-BB1dNnts

I love that the book didn't have Edwina and her mom be the evil step-mom and step-sister trope. All three adore each other and it's very 'girl power' in as much Regency can be.

I'm only one episode down and so far I like Anna (but what is up with her mouth?), Kevin, and Kim. As someone else said, this Christine would get along well with the one from Selling Sunset. LOL Kelly, run away from Andrew!!! Blurb on Christine and her husband https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9205395/Christine-Chiu-millions-boob-jobs-Prince-Charless-new-Wellbeing-Centre.html

I'm looking forward to Anthony's season. That book has not just the serious stuff, but a TON of laugh out loud moments.

Not a comedy and as Chaifan said, not even really dark comedy. Congrats to her anyway.

Barnes and Noble have the books (used B&N when I bought the last two Wheel of Time books--they're so long I'd rather read them non ebook--Amazon didn't have them). https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/duke-and-i-julia-quinn/1100248304?ean=9780063078901 Books A Million has The Duke and I cheaper but they seem to be sold out of the other books or limited quantity. https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Bridgerton-tv-Tie/Julia-Quinn/9780063078697?id=8111942597094

When we had our kitchen remodeled, we had the old cabinets installed in our garage for storage. Yes, these houses seem tiny, but in LA they aren't cheap. I have a friend who a long time ago worked as a celeb personal assistant. She enjoyed her job and only left due to health reasons. If you're interested what it's like to work for celebs/LA rich, this book is great: https://www.amazon.com/Youll-Never-Nanny-This-Again-ebook/dp/B000FCKLX4/ After reading it, I wanted to work for Rhea and Danny. LOL But avoid the Ovitz family at all costs. Got sick of Zooey and Jonathan and the PDA. Seemed awkward.

Yes, being treated by a world class dermatologist.

Yes! https://juliaquinn.com/books/miss-butterworth-and-the-mad-baron/

Cool. Didn't know that.

I'm confused by people who complain about the cost of seeing a nearby dermatologist, but are willing to buy a plane ticket to LA and hotel room. I hope Monica who had the birthmark finishes treatment. Still watching the ep. I had some skin issues on my arm and was thankfully able to take care of it with a televisit. Just needed some prescription cream.

I haven't reread Gregory's book yet and that tree of his. LOL 🤣 His poor wife.

Also in the books,

The Mallet of Death is black and Anthony gets stuck with the pink one. 😁

I'm surprised at how much the queen is interested in society gossip and meddling in it. Would that be normal for a queen?

Reading book 5 now. Marina was a Bridgerton cousin and not a Featherington one like in the show.

It may have been book three. I noticed it because I never took note of it before.

I hate that they made LW so vicious. She wasn't so bloodthirsty in the book. The only people she really dug her claws in were folks like Cressida and other bullies.
