Atlanta February 17 Share February 17 The sneak peek of season four has been released, and I really hope Brownell doesn't screw this season up as she is prone to do. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/95392-bridgerton-in-media-bodice-ripped-from-the-headlines/page/18/#findComment-8582755
Agalea Charis February 18 Share February 18 @anamika I agree with you. I think this show is becoming something different from what it was originally hyped as. The show has shown flashbacks for Simon and spent three seasons with the Featherington's having significant storylines. There is almost no way to have Sophie on the show without having her backstory. So that remains to be seen. Phillip has made an appearance before Eloise's season. The most Kate got was throw away references to her past. The show brought in characters from India and did not show anything about their lives there. The audience was told not shown about that family. It was a strange choice for the show to have characters come in from a different country and not show any of that, not even one scene. The first season came out in December 2020, right in the thick of the pandemic. If anything, there would have been more obstacles with COVID during the promotion for that season. You are correct in pointing out even for season two, other actors were given photo shoots. Also, the promotional pictures consisted of Anthony, Kate, and Edwina. The other seasons had just the main love story. Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley are fantastic in their roles and carried the second season. The stories that season were so clumsily written and not balanced well. The show managed to demonize Kate more than other characters. I do think Kate and Simone Ashley have been treated differently than others by production. No photo shoot, wedding, or baby are... deliberate choices production is making. Season two is my favorite despite the questionable writing choices. The chemistry of the actors is what is good about that season. Kate is also my favorite character in the books so it is disappointing that the show has dropped the ball. I worry about when it is time for Francesca's season, production will drop the ball again. They already have by Francesca's instant reaction to Michaela after having an understated love story with John. It undermined the story that was told all season. It cheapened that entire arc. I do not mind them race and gender swapping characters as long as those characters are not used as tokens for views. They should have proper character growth and development too. Having a show featuring characters of all races seems hollow if the show is just doing it to seem outwardly diverse. The writers have blatant preferences for some characters and put supposedly no effort into the rest. They could rename the show Featherington and there would be no difference. This show seems to be losing the plot. Which is unfortunate. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/95392-bridgerton-in-media-bodice-ripped-from-the-headlines/page/18/#findComment-8584171
andromeda331 February 18 Share February 18 It really is. When they were introduce they had a lot to work with. Mary had been friends with the Queen who was mad at her for leaving without telling her. I assumed we would get scenes of those two mending their friendship. Nope, we barely even saw Mary. Mary didn't even know about the deal with her parents' regarding Edwina's dowery. We got to see flashbacks on why Anthony was the way he was. But not at how Kate ended up the way she was. Kate resigned herself to never marry and focused completely on Edwina. It would have been nice to see why. Seeing Anthony watch his mother fall apart when his father died it suddenly made sense why he didn't want to marry for love. It would have been great to see why Kate chose against marriage. Or even how she dealt losing her father and her mother. There was so much to there and we didn't get any of it. And they also really should have given Colin a career path or something to bump him since they plan to do his and Penelope's story in season three. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/95392-bridgerton-in-media-bodice-ripped-from-the-headlines/page/18/#findComment-8584254

Aulty May 18 Share May 18 Tbh the teaser does nothing for me. Too Zorro. It's nice that they have been renewed for two more seasons, but I don't trust Netflix won't still pull them if they want. I am curious whether it'll make them pick up the pace with script writing. When season 3 aired wasnt there a comment that they hadn't even started in the S4 script? Go and plan ahead, streamline your production so fans don't have to wait for years for a new season. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/95392-bridgerton-in-media-bodice-ripped-from-the-headlines/page/18/#findComment-8665031
