What a smart, lively analysis of the Ultimate in Bodice-Ripper Regency TV: Bridgerton, season 3. Because of this we can get all our Bridgerton analysis needs right here on Substack! Thank you for this thoughtful, engaging commentary. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after June 13th! 💮

Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed reading it. Wasn't expecting to write anything about Bridgerton ever in my life but here we are! And based on all the material I was able to find it seems I wasn't the only one paying attention. I don't know if I'll make it to the second part, though, because the wait is killing me 😂

I haven't seen it, but I'm THRILLED that there is a vegetarian character. Absolutely thrilled. We never get to see vegans or vegetarians on TV or in film, unless they are some "weirdo extremist" side-character that we only see for three seconds, and they are always very unpleasant. If there are any exceptions to this, someone please let me know. But I have failed to see any. So well done Bridgerton!

I thought that was actually quite a nice touch, especially because they created this character for the screen adaptation specifically and it was very interesting to see how he's portrayed. This is still early XIX century England, so people look at him with suspicion, but it was great that this character is not seen simply as a weirdo and instead he's a highly eligible bachelor for women of marrying age. This season may be the best yet in terms of representation across the board.
