I'm just gonna put it out there that I can see with a show going for 13 seasons and for a horror theme, why a lot of the og cast members would leave/take a break due to their mental health. Also, I don't know what a lot of the fans were saying about Kardashian. Yes, the last season sucked but she was the ONLY good thing about that season, she CAN act and I hope to see more of her in future seasons if she ever decides to return.
I’m just saying,, Polin’s story was my favorite and so I watched S3 without watching S1 and S2,, I probably won’t be watching S4 either if they keep up with Fran and Michaela and not Michael. I still do believe it would be Benedict’s story next season cuz Benedict hinted it when he was with Eloise in the swing.. he said his next lesson learned would be of something that would change his life entirely.
I love the change personal. These are adaptions people not copy paste scripts. Francesca's story would not make sense for the format of the show. What her and Micheal had took years to cultivate. They can't show a decades long battle with infertility in one season. They can show a longing for a baby while not having the physical means to do so though. There has been a huge influx of late stage lesbians coming out because compulsory heteronormativity tricked them into thinking what they had with their male partners was love when it was really just comfortable. This is a story that doesn't get really any media representation versus infertility and baby loss has lots of representation already. You want the book read the book. Stop expecting movie and tv show adaptations to be exactly like the book. Why would they hire screenwriters if they were not going to get creative with it.
This is just so wrong for her story. It’s so annoying that the writers would do this I was so excited as Michael is so unhinged and i wanted to see him. And for Eloise it would make so much sense but for fran is so unnecessary
Every show nowadays has a great start with competent writing because they want to draw in an audience. Then they start writing fanfiction and pushing agendas once it's popular and ruin the story. Literally every show is like this now.
Its very hard for me to identify what Im feeling now. Im not opposite racial changes, literally don’t care. But its feels weird to see how they rushed into things? Why Fran looks instantly regretful of her choice to marry John? Why is she instantly smitten with Michaela? Please, ohmygod, shondaland really don’t know what slow-burn means, are they? They rushed into things with Polin, and now they do the same with the Stirlings. Also, I haven’t read the books, but from what I gather, Michael supposed to be a Rake of all rakes, and then he falls for Fran and got to love her in secret for a long time? I felt it was so very romantic. Also, there are issues with infertility…I just don’t understand how they would fit an essence of Fran story, with so many abrupt changes. Im curious to see it, but also its so different.
I wouldn't have minded much if they included a les storyline. 5/8 of the male love interest were "rakes" and that would be so very boring. I just kind of assumed it would be Eloise, it fits in better than it ever could with Francesca. But I suppose out of them all Francesca was the only one they could probably have actually slid this in with other than Benedict being roomates with... Mr Beckette. Perhaps when John dies Michaela has a son and he's the heir. Or Michaela's brother Michael marries her? Still, I really liked Michael out of them all aside from Anthony. Hasting was bland, Colin irritating, Benedict was in-freaking-sane, Gary? Forgettable, and Gregory I just wanted to smack.
Masali Baduza possibly cannot be doing two roles in the same series at the same time.... She played Michaela Stirling in season 3 part two so someone else is going to be playing Sophie Beckett 🙂
Why turn any of these stories queer? Just adapt what’s written or make something entirely new. Why must we co-opt everything to “turn” it into anything other than what it is.
They fell in the trap of u know them so u don’t have to spend so much time with them…. But it’s the opposite… we have to see them fall in love and be in love … they choose drama over romance
I hate this change. Michael Sterling was my favorite hero in the series and I just can't buy into this. If that makes me a horrible human then so be it. I just might skip the series and read the books again which would not be a hardship.
I love how this show has a very positive spin on diversity. I wish though that with this political climate, the narrative can address the glaring issues .Also Cole treated the females in his life horribly. He needs to learn a tough lesson in this aspect-part of growth and character development.
Jess Brownell has just ruined everything for me! I loved this show soooo much and now I hate it... Michael was my favourite character! Go to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My rating all the Bridgerton men with the Exception of Benedict are terrible. Colin is judgemental. Anthony is controlling. Only Benedict seems normal. Anthony is the worse. To me that is why I would never read the books since he is supposedly the most popular. My rank the Duke is number 1. He is complex and his complexity was interesting
Yall are really in the comments tripping over fiction not being the fiction you want it to be??? All the characters in the series and a couple of queer characters (which shouldn't be surprising) is really ruffling your feathers this hard?
The masked ball is where benedict meets Sophie . I only hope that atleast Sophie is a ‘women’ and not a man. I can’t get over my disappointment with michela being a women . Francesca storyline is going go completely change. How will they have children?
shitty season the worst of all and the rest were bad. And forcing Benedict and Francesca to be homosexuals is the quintessence of forcing the woke and inclusive ideology on people. I wonder who they'll make trans. Julia Quinn should be ashamed of herself for letting her books be so badly damaged. But if you don't know what it's about, it must be about money. They did the same with The Witcher. And all you had to do was stick to the original
I dont care that she's been changed to a woman, what I do care about is that she gets all flustered and acts exactly as her mother says she should if she was truly in love. I loved the understated, obviously neurodivergent, sweet introverted love that Francesca and John clearly share. I don't like that it's being minimized by her obvious attraction to Michaela. I think it's really uncool that they would underplay their love, when not all love does look like Bridgerton love when some love is understated and quiet and not typical and that introverted people were getting their moment. But by making Francesca act this way it's erased that entire love story and I think that's really uncool and honestly, I don't know how to say, but kind of ablest when it comes to neurodivergent people.
I could care less about people's sexual prefrences. But I am just so tired of watching shows to escape reality, only to have them messed up. So we will never see the real story? By switching genders the whole plot of the book is gone 🤷🏻♀️
Have you read the book? Michael isn't a great character, it's mostly sex the whole book and he's quite manipulative and forceful, the whole plot isn't gone, there was barely any plot to begin with + they can explore Francesca's infertility journey in the seasons before she ends up with Michaela
FFS!! I have no issues with people living their lives the way they want BUT I am getting sick of having things being forced into my life because groups want more representation!! The story line of Francesca should of been left alone! Michael should of stayed as Michael
Book Michael forced marriage onto Francesca and was quite manipulative with her, and he didn't have much of a personality except being always thinking of having sex with her, so they had to change him completely anyway
@@romalibra_booksoh my God just stop! You keep making the same replies! Your obviously not a fan of When he was Wicked and that’s fine but don’t berate people who are fans of the book
@@patrickmcguire7896 i actually enjoyed the book but I think it can be easily improved and swapping Michael’s gender won’t remove anything from the storyline + the tv show is better at exploring characters
@@romalibra_books if anything it was FRANCESCA dangling the carrot on the string with Michael, leading him on, and dragging her feet to marry him, and likewise playing with his emotions while being non committal the entire time after their mutual consent in the bedroom time and time again. She thought she could have her cake and eat it too! Sex with him and no marriage… but Michael wasn’t having any of that! He wanted all or nothing. And it was only fair because he didn’t want to be lead on by her that way any longer. She constantly left him hanging by a thread for her love and commitment. Get it right.
