daphne and simon going from eh you’re alright to i burn for you for almost twenty minutes 

right to everyone pestering me about them not being true enemies to lovers i’ve changed the bloody title and will do the thumbnail at some point. happy now?!

Simon’s actor is quite frankly the most beautiful man I have ever seen in my life.

the entire simon-chasing-daphne-in-the-garden scene gives me “WHY ARE YOU RUNNING” vibes

Anthony calling Simon a BaStArd for soiling his sister's honour while breaking that opera singer's back no strings attached every single chance he got really screamed misogyny and double standards if you ask me

I genuinely feel Violet must have had all of her children learn self defense with how swiftly Daphne and Antony respond with a VICIOUS right hook

violet: and he sends flowers- daphne: ✨e x p e n s i v e ✨, ones

“The duke and I are to be married.” At that point Daphne was so done letting those foolish men make her life decisions for her. This is the moment I liked Daphne the most.

during the piano/pigeon shooting scene, the staff be like “3 days ago we had to deal with yall fucjing all over the house like rabbits and now we have to deal with THIS? y’all have been married 1 week”

Daphne being completely clueless and innocent to everything: Simon: when you- touch yourself- Daphne: 👁👄👁

the best thing of this series is how simon never dance other than daphne. he just stand there watching her dancing.

'I am going to be a *PRINCESS*' my 4-year-old self asking what I want to be when I am older

Too hear Simons monologue on how much he wants to marry Daphne means a whole lot more when you find out that he did not speak well as a child

“To meet a beautiful woman is one thing, but to meet your best friend, in the most beautiful of women is something entirely apart” Aight I’m out.

daphne snorting while laughing is so cute

daphne shouting "pRINCESS" + stomping her foot is the most me thing that ever me'd

"For her powerful right hook?" BRO I DIED AT THIS SCENE

Did I just watch 20 minutes of a show I haven’t even seen? Yes, yes I did

lets be honest. no one would ship simon x daphne so hard if lady danbury and violet didn't in the first place.

the product of Violet and Lady Danbury’s persistence

As much as I liked Anthony’s growth in season 2, I will miss his unhinged “protective older brother mode activate” vibes

Imagine having a prince and a duke fighting over you

During the 'lover's quarrel' scene, I legit thought Simon would shoot at the piano...

the way u didn't include the scene where they're discussing the painting and they start to hold hands is CRIMINAL I was fully crying it is the best

Her little foot stomp of frustration while saying she'll be a princess is absolutely adorably funny 😂😂

The clip where the prince tells her that her gown is exquisite and she snorts will forever be one of my favourite bridgerton scenes because simon’s face makes me giggle so so much

* Wildest Dreams plays anytime after watching Bridgerton * Me: * aggressively blushes*

That punch was fucking everything! Berbrooke can’t handle rejection.

“To meet a beautiful woman is one thing, but to meet your best friend in the most beautiful of women is something apart” I die every time

THE SCENE WHERE DAPHNE WALKS UP TO THE PRINCE IN HER REVENGE DRESS IS SO POWERFUL WITH HER HEAD TILT LIKE SHE KNOWS WHAT SHES DOING

It always amazes me how everybody, including the Queen, obeys Lady D at the end. 😄

Finally, a compilation that is not ruined by the heavy handed addition of some sugary sweet pop song played so loudly that the wonderful dialog is drowned out. Thank you.

Everyone else: I burn for Simon Me: I wish to burn Daphne’s bangs

This show really said, "Let's take every Enemy's to Lover fan fiction EVER, and make it a show about royalty in like 1800's England." And they made it work.

If you think THIS is enemies to lovers just wait for Anthony and Kate

I kinda regret binging it all in one day bc now I feel empty 😩

All I’m saying is you know the queen REALLY ships them when she lets Lady Danbury kick her and everyone else out at 18:38 without saying anything like, “I’m queen, you can’t kick me out”. She just lets it happen, and smiles. She ships them so hard, you guys.

Her fringe never bothered me till y’all mentioned it 💀

i just realised their siblings goes in order of a (Anthony), b (Benedict), c (Collin), d (Daphne), e (Eloise).... literally the alphabet and age order

"Perhaps a small one" makes me laugh every time, such great comedic timing

Simon confessing how he feels about Daphne to the queen has my heart :')

I NEED more screentime with both of them, I was soo sad that there was obly daphne in the second season😩

That piano and bird shooting scene gave me life. I kept replaying it. This is the level of petty I aspire to for when I get married.

I love that his end of the bargain was to get the mothers and ladies off his back. However, he could have left at any point. He has nothing tyinv him here. He was just interested in her from the beginning...

The way Daphne and Simon communicate so much with simply their eyes and expressions is what helps make this such an entrancing story. The attraction/building sexual tension during the gorgeous dancing scenes were absolute perfection. Visually sumptuous yet understated. Glorious.

Simon:Are you hurt? Daphne: *needs a minute to get up* Simon:TELL ME!

14:24 its not that he'd rather die than marry her, it's that he'd rather die then depriving her of her dream (kids and big loving family) which is btw just wow ugh

Even though we loathe Nigel Berbrooke, we gotta give it to the actor Jamie Beamish.....he did a brilliant job.

"Ignore the loathsome toad." *Indeed.*

I love that he considers her his best friend, as well as his wife. 💙

I just realized that the prince is cormac mclaggen from Harry potter

I loved all the music (especially Bad Guy on the strings), but I would be very disappointed and outraged if they didn’t play WAP on the strings in the second season 😡✋🏼

"He sent flowers... Expensive ones!" :))) this is so funny. And "I am going to be a PRINCESS!!!!"

Okay but they bonked about 700 times on their honeymoon tho let's not forget that

Bruh when she snorted at the prince that was one of my fav parts of the whole series 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 it was soo Fcking funny

i love that this show took pop songs and made them sound so classy

Out of everyone on this show, I absolutely loved Lady Danbury's character the most. She was just absolutely amazing to watch her dominate every scene she was in.☺

omg i *just* realized the parallel with the king and queen and daphne and simon. daphne and george both looking at the crowd and panicking slightly while simon and charlotte say "look at me" and they calm down after looking at them

Once this whole series, all 8 books are done I expect there has to be a cd with all the modern songs turned into classics because I will low key be buying this for the car

Simon: *breathes* Me: *inhales sharply*

'I love every flaw, every scar, every imperfection, I love all of you' - Daphne ❤ 'With Daphne conversation has always been easy, her laughter brings me joy, I realised I did not want miss Bridgerton to only be my friend, I wanted her to be my wife...I want her to be my wife and so I plead with you not to make us wait'. Simon ❤ The most endearing and beautiful confessions of all time !!🥰😍❤

The way Simon plays with the kids is so heartwarming 😭😭🥺❤️

So, I usually like period pieces where everything is historically acurate - the costumes, the make up, the hair, the casting, the sets, the dialogue, the pets, the books, the music and everything in between. I have stopped watching shows and movies because they weren´t accurate, or never watched them at all, despite them having amazing reviews .... and then comes along Bridgerton, and I don´t give a crap about all the things I just listed, because ... well .... just look at it. I´m so exited for season 2

Eloise’s face when Cressida swooned was me. Daphne and Simon were almost touching PALM to PALM and they had to stop because of some SWOON????😭😭

Daphne and the Dukes eye contact was so intense throughout the show that I felt awkward at so many points lmfao 😂😂 like I could never hold eye contact for that long lol

season 1 still the best season because of them... prettiest characters and prettiest couple. messiest plot yet had the best angst and chemistry!

I loved their dynamic when they were friends (when they were holding up the ruse). But was anyone else bothered when daphne refused to stop when Simon said no though?? like if their genders had been reversed people would be shouting rape Edit: I am going to add that while my opinion on this scene hasn’t changed, I would like to note the fact that media doesn’t exist to be perfect. Characters don’t exist to be perfect. They need flaws and they need to make mistakes and even commit *gasp* problematic things. These issues exist for the sake of a story and character development. You can enjoy a problematic character or piece of media, they exist to be enjoyed and criticised in equal measure.

2:28 simon's the only one that does the little spin during the dance and he got so excited i'm going to CRY they're having so much fun

Daphne's snort will always be iconic for me 😭

“If this is to work, we must act madly in love” Ooh no sir, I don’t thing much acting will be needed to achieve that

WAIT I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING: so daphne and simon put together is diamon (i’m mixing the letters in their names together], like diamond so since daphne was the diamond of the season she was meant to be with him bc of their ship name

Its a shame that the last 4 episodes was lacking in that all so wonderful banter that for me was my favorite part!!!!

Nobody is going to speak about how the entire series was awesome, all this light, the clothes, the music ??? like it's so beautiful omg, im happy they get a really good adaptation of the books ❤

Daphne: I am going to be a "PRINCESS"! while *stomping her foot* Me: Give her a candy. Immediately!

I luv it when he says " you wound me " That long speech to de queen is everything.

He gives me absolute Theo James vibes

When she snorted in front of the queen I almost died. I literally laughed so hard I knocked my dog off the couch

I avoided this show as I was searching for movies to watch on Netflix, for weeks...I never watched the preview no more than 10 seconds and thought it was another "Diana" movie...Once I started watching, had to do a double take at the queen, once I saw the Duke, I could not stop staring! and his voice! Love this show, I hope they continue to focus on these 2 in the next seasons, they are the reason I watched it. Following the books or not, this one is definitely memorable!!! Breaking through interracial relationship and CASTING A BLACK MAN AS ROYALTY WAS EVERYTHING!!!!

Yes, Daphne and Simon are Goals, but have you ever wondered what was doing Anthony in that garden especially when his ex was singing in that very same ball?!

3:21 "This scene is the sort you dedicate like twelve pages to in a novel" Omg, that’s soo true😂😂

Anthony and Kate are great !but. .I will always have Daphne and Simon as my favorites.

Simon’s monologue Me : swoons into a faint.

this was beautiful. cinematic masterpiece. also why is daphne literally so pretty.

We really have to thank Anthony for those two getting together, his jealousy pushes other guys away from her and his instance on the toad is what pushed her to Simons arms (literally lol) and also in a way Lady D even though she didn't purposefully play a role but her not taking No from Simon at her invitation to the party had him there in the first place and so it all ( or should I say they) came together quite nicely.

It was so refreshing to see how Daphne protected herself from that jerk Berbrook instead of the Duke saving her.

Everyhing about this series hit the mark every single time: the music, costumes, choreography, screen shots, etc. A beautiful cross section of regency society to its mores, its subtleties, the relationship to upper staff, the vulnerability of lower staff. And perhaps how the women who were powerless nonethless wielded great power through their ability to spread the word. The problem the rich and titled young men encountered with match making mamas is brilliantly displayed in some of the early scenes when entire gaggles descend on the poor man vying for his attention. Also how ruthlessly these same mamas sell their daughters on the marriage mart and the success or failure of said daughter depends on the number of suitors she has, the number of proposals she receives and the pressure to engage the richest and or most titled prize on the market. And we cannot forget the fragility of reputation that could so easily be lost often through no fault of the girls, who were kept deliberately ignorant so they would be less likely to experiment or for fear if they had too much academic knowledge when they went to their marriage bed that they would be thought unchaste. Much like woman who were portrayed in Gone With the Wind, they were trained from the cradle to marry well with little thought given on how to manage the relationship after the wedding. The were taught estate management but not marital managment. I also like the fact that they addressed childbirth which was still a deadly business although marginally less so for society women having access to clean linen, the best doctors and midwives and the best food. Also since the births were at home the younger chidren were exposed to the more harrowing aspects in terms of sounds. The birth of Hyacinth must have been a problem delivery given that it was her 8th child and should have been easier unless there were complications. These young girls were frightened to begin with and this would only add to their terror since the were kept in ignorance. This ignorance explains why it took Daphne so long to figure out what Simon was doing to prevent conception and it was only after they made love in reasonably good light was she able to put the pieces together because up until then he was able to shield the evidence fairly well [according to the book]. So the idea was to throw these young ladies and scions together in genteel and highly supervised settings to find their mates yet they had very little opportunity to get to know one another before they were engaged. And the latter could be arranged without their consent which we saw in the series. What was most interesting is the criteria the women used as opposed to that to that of the guardian/father used. It was a business tranaction and not based on sentiment, fondness, or love. rather on lineage, dowry, rank or land acquisition. Lastly, the series brings into sharp relief the precarious world of the courtesan who took lovers without any security. Once it was over it was over with no long term care built in which is why they usually tried to get paid in jewels which would appreciate in value and could be sold. In this series we have Sienna an extremely talented opera singer who is paid a low wage to sing and is relying on lovers to supplement her income. We cannot forget Marina which brings into sharp relief to what happens to the fallen: deserted by her lover [ after all he could have married her before he went off with Wellington], no where to turn to and tries to make the best of the situation. Being from the country she would probably know which herbs were useful as abortion agents but she didn't allow them sufficient time to infuse and possible too far along in her pregnancy to be effective. It was also not uncommin for aging men who did not have a living heir to accept a pregnant wife to prevent the estate from reverting back to the crown upon their death. Pen tried everything to protect Colin both out of love and decency except one: she should have given Marina a choice: either she tells Colin about the pregancy or Pen would. The actress did a brillant job with this character because one did not fall completely out of sympathy with her despite her calculated efforts to ensnare Colin. IMO she was attracted to the life he could offer her and that might have been part of the motivation to try and abort. In the end she accepted George's brother who was very, much in sympathy with her but she was determined to be miserable and forced to retire to the country rather than the exciting life in London. She may not have wanted to come to London but certainly began to enjoy the attention she was receiving. I felt sorry for her baby because I don't think she ever loved it. Nonetheless one pity's her because of her limited options in an unforgiving and ruthless world where such transgressions were held up for ridicule and life lessons for others. All she needed was a scarlett A. Note: the man is never blamed unless he abandons his reponsbility. He will be sanctioned by his peers for failing to support a bastard but not for raping the maid who became the mother of that bastard. And it was rape through coercion because the staff had no defense and less voice against the master of the house. It was particularly risky for parlor maids who were chosen for that role d/t their attractiveness.

Can we all agree that the sound track was 😗🤌 LIKE WILDEST DREAMS AND BAD GUY WAS A WHOLE BOP.

I couldn't take my eyes off Simon whenever he came on screen. He is 🌠 beautiful 🌠

Ughhhhh when you know that this type of love exists only in books or on Netflix

I think I like this show so much because a fake relationship is a classic romance trope

HAHAHAHA i love eloise’s reaction after simon and daphne’s: “i shall have you-“ “to marry of course, tell me I’m wrong”

Lady Danbury is literally the best character in the series

I’m going to miss Simon so much next season.. hopefully shonda doesn’t f up their relationship to cause drama she better remain a devoted wife even if Simon isn’t on screen

"This is a revenge dress if i ever saw one" SO YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU'VE NEVER SEEN LADY DIANA'S BLACK DRESS AFTER SHE DIVORCED CHARLES?! REALLY?! IF THAT AIN'T A REVENGE DRESS ISTG I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS Also, Lady Danbury is my favorite character, she's the baddest bitch in the show #BADBITCHINRED4LIFE 8:12 look at the way she's disgusted by him, same, ma'am, same.

bridgerton season 1 really are the birth of gossip girl x pride and prejudice.

okay but these actors are way to underrated because they are amazing because each of the main characters in each season have such AMAZING chemistry (kate & anthony/simon & daphne)

These two are allies to lovers and then idiots in love. I love them.

i need my own rain scene like the one at the end or else my life will not be complete i need this era irl omg

FRIGGING WILDEST DREAMS I-

13:52 the way he says her name right there, I am ✨️unwell✨️

As someone who knows the absolute bare minimum about this show, this was very entertaining. Also that scene in the boxing place where he rolls up his sleeves really turned all of us into repressed Victorians I guess Edit: God watching the show makes this so much better
