I Read the BRIDGERTON Series So You Don't Have To 🐝💎 

100% agree, it’s kind of lazy and so exaggerated. Austen will always be the queen, probably helps she actually lived during the time period 😂

No if a man is alone completly in a closed room yes, but if there are servants and open door

While I agree, I do like how the fourth book did it a little differently. While it is the same trope as the other books, it happened one enough time for it to double as. I can’t take it anymore. I can’t say the words yet, but the actions of Colin was like “i love you. I want you. I can’t take it anymore. Marry me now.” And of course after Penelope loved this man for years, she was like “duh. Yes. Finally”

Yes! I think it's interesting just how low the bar is for historical romance heroes in contemporary novels. They seem to be much worse than characters written by authors who actually lived in those circumstances. Like, Mr. Rochester is kind of a shit but even he wouldn't disrespect Jane Eyre so much as ask her to be his actual mistress. And when she discovers that that's what she would've become if she'd married him, she straight up leaves, like *that's* how bad this move was.

To be fair, no one saw them alone. And they only time Elizabeth was alone with a man was with Mr. Darcy's cousin and they were very much in the open and in motion. In most of the Austen scenes (In any of her books) Even Fanny was rarely alone with her cousin. Anytime they are really alone is for the purpose of a proposal (or hoped for) or off to the side in a rather crowded situation. If you Google regency era rules for courtship, being caught alone with a man would result in scandal. Austen may have relaxed the rules a bit to keep readers engaged. Her works were filled with scandal: Pride and Prejudice had Wickham almost ruining 2 women. Sense and sensibility saw two women pregnant out of wedlock and it did ruin them. MaryAnn was the point of gossip at every turn for sending letters and riding off with Willoughby. Not to mention the unchaperoned tour of his house. had they been in London, no one would have associated with her. I could go on with each of the books. The biggest difference is that Bridgeton is a Romance series, which should be filled with pearl clutching moments. Austen was not actually considered a Romance or even Romantic writer. Her writing was considered as satire and social commentary.

That got my blood boiling bc like that's some colonial bs

Funny cause they were literally introduced to tea in Asia

As a person who's had both, English tea really does suck 😂

I interpreted that as "their tea doesn't taste the same as tea here" more than anything :-/

@@menotyou4289sounds about right

I’m literally writing a fanfic story rn with this goal in mind re: improving Benophie !

It is my firm believe that TV Eloise just cannot - C A N N O T - end up with Philip. I have written it multiple times but I am going to write it again - that would be a character assassination.

Show Philip is quite different. He is quiet and seems to be caring for Marina and the kids (which aren't his in the show). Maybe they let Marina live and Eloise will end up with no one or someone else. Or they pair them up in the show but in a very different way.

The only things that i liked in Eloise's book was the banter between the bridgerton siblings and the relationship that grows between Eloise, Amanda and Oliver.

Hmm...I like Phillip, even if he is a jerk sometimes.

I honestly hope they don’t try and force Eloise and sir Phillip together in the show - I’d be happy is he has a happy ending with Marina and Eloise lives up to the line from Daphnie - of her making her own way in the world. I can see her as someone who’s happy ending includes going to University and fighting for what she believes in alongside like minded people like Theo.

Please, sweet Jesus let the writers change Eloise’s story. We are b e g g i n g

Did we read the same book. Where Eloise's brother don't are embarrassed by her ability to shoot like a man, run like a man, ride like a man in their time. Philip respect her for it, thinks it's great that she is so strong and capable. He is the only one who sees her for herself. I do hat his interactions with the kids, but it is explained why he is so distant to them.

@@siusanofthewoodsexactly! I loved Eloise’s book. Sir Phillip is flawed & traumatised from his marriage to Marina. He tried to make her happy but nothing he did helped and that does take a toll (I’ve been there & it’s heartbreaking). He also was abused as a child & it shows. It is a very slow burn of a book but he gets there eventually with his mental health, Eloise & his children ❤

A more “realistic” love story lol

They did this with so many characters. I was shocked reading the books after watching the show

They gave book Colin’s personality to Benedict too

@@zoelundy5561 They didn't 'give Colin's personality to Ben'. They gave him funny lines but they all just fell flat coming from him. Ben is exactly like he's in the books, minus the orgies.

Nah. After rewatching the first two seasons I noticed she still has the same personality. The inquisitiveness and the sharp mouth and fun sense of humor just like violet in queen charlotte. At least after reading the books I understand why we barely saw Francesca. The only person that went through a personality change is Daphne. I found myself relating to her a lot unlike show Daphne

I mean, I will say they alluded to Eloise being as she is in the show in the book but the show did it better. That being said, I don't see why they both can't be like this. The current Hyacinth in the show is exactly how i'd imagine her in the books and I Can't wait to see her character grow.

I like how you use first mother and the show says mother when referring to her first mom. I really hate that some people say only biological when the first mother in fact died. It sounds so clinical

In the books, Kate's father was a second son of a baron, I believe. They didn't have lots of money but were probably more respectful in society. The reason why Sophie would have been looked down on was because she was the illegitimate daughter to society that's still beneath them. Also, she was a maid, which was really looked down upon worse than an illegitimate. So yes, in the series, it shouldn't make a difference because of Kate's family history, but it does for Sophie's. It will be interesting to see how Benedict's story is played out.

Well being a bastard is different

@@FullofLit yeah i definitely think that makes sense to introduce those characters and plotlines in the background of the main story so we have the next several seasons set up, and it also gives them time to make the necessary changes before they become the focus

I'd honestly be pretty shocked if season 3 didn't kick off with the ball and then do a time jump. While the masquerade is obviously a core element of Benedict and Sohpie's story, I also actually really like the brief mention of it in Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. Penelope reflects on her experience finally feeling like she was acting true to herself but then despite how wonderful that was not being able to do that again once the masks were off. I also think it would be cool if in Benedict's season the audience who doesn't know the books might plausibly not know, just like Benedict, that she was the woman from the ball until it's revealed through whatever.

I am hoping that they introduced the idea of Eloise being with someone of a lower station in this last season because they plan for her to marry someone like that.

They don't please read them yourself

@@FullofLit no we want Eloise with Theo..

@@louisef2648 by “have sex with her after the children are born” do you mean rape her, while she is basically unresponsive? Mmm yeah, what ever did he do wrong to Marina?

I dunno, I think if the show does a time skip (which is needed for Sohpie and Penelope's stories) there's something to be said for how years of being forced to attend London seasons will effect Eloise. And a story with the general vibe of "person I only know through written word is not the ideal I imagined" and "I'm way over my head and totally ruining this life meant for my brother" could be relatable.

To be fair, I think it looks like the show runners know that book is shit. Marina was pregnant before they married, and they made sure to not make her Eloise's cousin, so to me, it's a sign that they mean to change it. My hope would be for Marina's death to truly be an accident, for that couple to never have been more than friends, and to pull a Jane Eyre and make Eloise go be a governess for the children instead of going there specifically to get married. And from the way they've written the male romantic leads in the show, I truly don't think they'd take Sir Phillip Crane's book personality, especially since we've seen what type of guy Eloise would be attracted to. There's no way they'll do a faithful adaptation.

I think they could. Marina was never "Happy." per se The book does point to the fact that she was engaged to his brother and that he died. Who's to say that her feeling obligated and trapped in a loveless marriage could not lead down a similar path. We only see a few moments of Sir Philip and I imagine having a wife who very clearly feels nothing for him would lead to frustration and a personality shift. I am currently reading this book now and do see quite a bit of similarities in both versions of Eloise's personalities. They are both restless, feel overwhelmed by familial and societal pressures.

I don't know I can see a Eloise writing someone and then running off. She doesn't love the social life. Back in the 1800's there are countless ways to die that don't include the original plot.

IKR 😭😭

Hermionie would scoof at These Books. She woukd afterall stand against te mysogonie in These books

​@roxyortiz8819 AU as in Alternative Universe, its often used in fandoms

So glad I am not the only one who felt that😅

Hermonie granger is played by emma Watson 😭 merged her real name and her characters name

Yes! His jealousy and insecurity over her success made this my second least favourite book out of the series (plus the fact that he only realises his feelings after Penelope loses weight). I also found that most of the male leads all sort of blur into one another, especially in the first five books.

exactly because the show Pen did actual damage to people around her.

@@OryxArya loses weight? Ugh how terribly written

@@OryxArya Actually according to the books pen looses weight in her second season in the marriage mart which was when she was 17 and colin falls in love with her like 10 years later so

@@chetsirene3835 Did she, tho? Because the people she did were lying and doing the things they did, so she told the truth.

I can’t speak for everyone but I am looking forward to it because show Eloise and Philip are different from the book characters, they’re both great actors, the show has not disappointed me in any way yet and I think they will make a great match when their time comes. I don’t doubt that their casting was very intentional and that they’ll have amazing chemistry, since they introduced him so early on.

I hope she stays unmarried in the show!

especially since the series hasn't included Felicity

It’d be even funnier because Prudence absolutely doesn’t not have half the self-awareness and wit of Felicity

I was so glad the drawing room scene got a special shout out in this video because it's hilarious and perfect! Penelope's tired acceptance, Colin's mounting frustration, the complete pandemonium of the Featheringtons (the two youngest sisters excepted) trying and failing to find a second brain cell. I feel like Newton and Coughlan would really nail it.

I hope it shows her fainting. Since we don't have Felicity, someone better faint. It better be Portia because it would be funnier. I could imagine her falling backward and her feet going in the air. Plus, it would be unexpected to see her daughter engaged to a Bridgerton.

I liked the book after the 2nd one that one is my second favorite

I don't buy that excuse. Does anyone see Mr Darcy sexually harassing his staff into giving him sexual favours? And that is a character written during the regency era. I can't see any of Austen's heros doing that. Her villains though ... They'd be the ones making offers of that nature to young, vulnerable women.

I liked the Cinderella story line! And he wasn’t harassing her. Kinda funny u forgot about the part her she was watching him swim naked but gotta choose to make ur point

@@billyjean8057 I would say "since when two wrongs makes a right?" because yeah, kinda shitty of her to not turn around instantly, but we can't even compare those two situations. She saw him naked. He keeps trying to coerce her all the time. He kidnapped her even! She is not a menace to him, but he is a menace to her at whatever level you choose to analyze it. I mean, it's fiction, idc, but jesus, I can't stand this writing choices.

@@billyjean8057 Lol thank you!!! I've had to stop looking at Bridgerton books comments and forums for this exact reason. These people will hype up what the men do into something horrid, yet completely ignore what the women do that is the exact same 🙄 I used to try and defend the men and bring awareness to the women, but nah, it's better for my peace of mind just to roll my eyes and ignore it. But I love to see others calling out the double standards so thank you!

@@giovana4121 well tbh he blackmailed here there’s a different 😂 and secondly why u reading from a 21st century mind this book is based 19th century being a women back then alone was very danger. And Benedict didn’t force her to do anything she didn’t want to do.

@@billyjean8057 Because it's not written in the 19th century ? Because it's not historically accurate ? You sound like those people defending bad fantasy saying things "it was like that back then in the middle Age" this is a trashy romance novel not a history textbook. Lol don't mind me I'm not commenting usually but your comment was kind of both dumb and pretentious.

love Gregory's as well. I thought there were some funny moments like the big throwdown at the wedding, even Hyacinth getting involved, and Colin. I feel like Gregory's was dark towards the ending, really different from the rest of the Bridgerton siblings.

I know it won't happen because no show would make me this happy, but when considering tv versions of Eloise and Philip's story I would be excited to see Ace Philip. Having them end up in a happy, romantic marriage where they raise their step children with love? Would be beautiful. Since he's already not the kids' biological father I'd be happy to jettison him ever having slept with Marina or wanting to creep on Eloise like that.

If Netflix does give the series more seasons, I truly believe El will end up with Phillip. But they will change a lot, including this. Perhaps mutual decision to be careful? Or sweet acesexual romantic pairing? But it is gonna happen. I feel bad for Marina, but I would argue show gave her much more and she was supposedly color-blind casted. I really like her character in the show, as she is greyish and she is not presented as either good or villain. I suspect she will save twin(s) from drowning and then die due to ilness, leaving Phillip broken and with utter guilt. Not sure how will they do it with Marina's actress and Shondaland having icy relationship now... El and Phillip will likely meet beforehand. Perhaps El becomes governess or apllies for the position. Or Phillip gets her into academy in disguise? Either way, I would be surprised if El just showed up out of nowhere like in the book.

This is why I still like the idea that if she is going to end up with someone, it will be someone like Philip who already has children. Not necessarily show Philip, maybe someone else who has children

Didn't work for Edmund Bridgerton lmao

@@FullofLit Hopefully having multiple love stories per season will save us the Cousin Jack debacle we had this season because they won’t have enough screentime for bad subplots 💀

I agree I think they'll make Polin and MAYBE another season. Two if we're lucky. I think they'll swap Hyacinth's book arc and give it to Eloise instead and we won't see Gregory and Hyacinth as show seasons. I'm still hoping for Francesca's bc 🔥 Benedict...... I have no idea

@@Annikina They have confirmed 4 seasons so we will get at least one more season after Polin. I’m convinced we will get Benedict as the lead for that. I have no doubt in my mind about that. I’d bet that when the show was renewed through season 4 he was promised a leading season.

@@ericanicolee909 yeah that seems more likely given that his character is already introduced and we've seen absolutely zero of Francesca. I just wonder how they'll translate his arc, I hope they make some changes so it's not so cringe-y

@@FullofLit That would make more sense. Would also explain why certain secondary characters are getting so much screen time.

Holy shit she actually said that? So only white people deserve happy endings huh? What a gross person.

Really glad that you said that because I’m definitely not reading the books now

I'm sorry the fuck, humanity disapoints me

Did she actually say that?

When did she say that???

That's a nice idea.

YESS

Riiiight I wasn't planning on watching S2 tbh because I really disliked book Anthony but then I came across the you're the bane of my exitence scene on twt and instantly watched the whole thing and I haven't been the same person since so happy about the changes they made

Colin's arm grip / champagne glass moment especially felt really out of character for him and I am happy to chalk it up to a failing on Quinn's part as an author that she always has to have SOMETHING like it in all these stories. And I loved the book series. But even when they came out it was big yikes.

@@ouijedanse what happened with the champagne glass drop the tea

@@orin6330 Oh, he's supposed to be doing the tender couple thing of holding their champagne glass while they drink from it thing but instead he pours too fast on purpose or something and it's uncomfortable? She definitely doesn't like it. It's been a few months since my last read so someone should correct me if I'm wrong.

@@ouijedanse jeez Julia Quinn has a really peculiar sense of humor

I was about to write the same thing. We all get a very rose colored idea of what a governess would have been based on Jane Eyre but that's really very much an exception to the rule because Rochester is eccentric and eventually falls in love with Jane. But in reality being a governess was really annoying incredibly lonely and depressing existence.

I think that with good care and intentive, the writers can make the story work. They seem to be very good so far. But they would have to throw most of things through window. Sir Phillip might work on paper as a man who does not really know how to connect with anyone in any way (basically suceeding through the sheer luck, like when he connected with Colin), who does not parent because he refuses to be his father but does not know what else to do and how to be a patent. Sort of like Simon, perhaps - he never wanted children, nor a wife, but when Marina showed up with the babies of his brother, he stepped in. You can even make him actually fall for Marina, but knowing very well she will never look at him that way. And then after she departs, he thinks that the children need a mother-figure. Eloise could through the sheer luck bond with the children, and Phillip offers her to be a governess/wife. Then you can let them slowly grow to their feelings in some natural way. Another possibility: Phillip and Eloise fall for one another... as Phillip is still married to Marina and he does not want to dishonor his marriage, and make Eloise a mistress.

​@@saranemcova5448i recently read that the show writers are not allowed to change the love interests so yeah

Yea that’s the part I detested and him having a tantrum about not having sex in 8 years awful.

@@natasha8966 for real😭

Well these books r also placed in the 18th century so u should read it from a 21st century mind

Yeah, the "sensibilities"(if you will) of the early 2000s were quite different already from those of the 2020s alone-even without factoring in the 1700s historical time periods the fictional stories are set within. There are some people, like FullofLit[ in this video], who do take that into consideration.... but, unfortunately, I think there are also some people out there who actually don't realize just how different things used to be at all; OR who don't personally see the difference between understanding/forgiving/ that or whatever versus actually condoning it as totally acceptable.

But we don't see this kind of explicit misogyny in the notorious romantic novels actually written in that time period. Of course, the structural misogyny is present throughout, but I don't remember reading women being explicitly referred to as men's properties or reminded directly that they are supposed to obey their husbands in any of those novels, and certainly not in romantic settings. The way Julia Quinn includes this kind of remarks in romantic or sexual exchanges between the characters gives a vibe of humiliation fetish.

@@marygoround5378 I mean... fair point. It does[ come off a bit like a humiliation kink or something]. But, then again, just..hypothetically....IF you _were_ someone was told since childhood or kinda just 'knew' because it was just the way things were all around you that your eldest male relative and/or husband controlled everything[ or that you as a male would control everything for your daughters/sisters/wives/etc.]..you either A.) Might not even think to mention it because it was simply too commonplace and already known to note or to need saying constantly &/or you might not realize there even was any other alternative way to compare it to since it was just everyday commonplace for you {things that may seem notably wrong or unusual or worth mentioning to modern readers might not seem notably wrong or unusual or worth mentioning to historical persons} & 2.) IF you DID dislike that about your life or wish it could be different you might write for your romances about an escapist fantasy version of the world in which it wasn't so rather than writing romances in which it was so. I mean.... do you constantly walk around telling people[ or your phone] "This is MY phone" or whatever? Does it make it any less your property just because you don't feel the need to constantly say so? (There's also the fact that the way people spoke &/or thought, in general, was also just fairly different from how it is now. So they wouldn't always use at all the same words to say or describe things as we would, and the things in general that they even would or wouldn't write about or mention at all also oftentimes differed plenty from things that we might openly write about now.) So, you can't necessarily completely judge what actual everday life might have been like based off of [potentially idealized / possibly best-case-scenario ]fictional stories alone. There is also the fact that, even if it was the exception and not the rule in reality, more modern fiction tends to make the exceptions more commonplace purely for the dramatic effect or whatever too, not just the negative exceptions but also the positive exceptions. For better or for worse.

@Constance Haisma-Kwok thank you for saying this, all of it, including the voting, being politically active and not slipping back into the 19th century! I was kind of getting impatient with the review but I realized it IS a generational thing. I think being of a different generation, I as a reader was more tolerant of the misogyny and parental abuse that occurred (not excusing it, just moving on). I do hope that they change, significantly, the books when adapting to tv. Also, just to reiterate, please vote and stay politically active!

Same best books in the series.

Same, my absolute favorite books ❤️

I actually agree. (Although I'm a little biased against pregnancies being introduced just to be lost, it's mildly triggering for me in a way I think because I remember my mother miscarrying the first pregnancy she had after I was born, but there are some things that do manage to pull it off without it seeming too much like they're just using it as cheap heartstring-tugging or purely drama or such..and/or slightly other ways that particular aspect could play out maybe even without otherwise altering too much. I'm a sucker for well-done triangles & or loves-lost / second-loves and or characters bonding over a mutual loss of someone who was important to both of them.)

I don’t think they would have introduced Marina and therefor Philip in season 1, if they weren’t going to pair him with Eloise.. the casting and basically everything in this show is very intentional. In season 2 they are already setting up the story for Marina being unhappy and not being a very nice, loving wife to Philip. I think Theo is more of a plot device for Eloise’s character development and story.

@@kristywotte This could be but I really hope it’s not. Phillip is just horrible and they would have to completely changes most of the events in the book that happen with them. I have a feeling that they introduced Phillip and tho to make the story more complex and to throw people off. And her getting with Theo is very true to her cheer her in the show. She is against everything high society stands for and getting with Theo perfectly asserts that. Theo is also opening her eyes when it comes to classism and is already helping her grow I just the little time we saw of them in season 2. But I understand what your saying also.

@@IsabellaL9659 Yeah I get what you’re saying and I understand why Philip isn’t a fan favorite for some of the readers, but a lot of the bigger Bridgerton reviewers/creators have been saying that there seems to be an agreement in place with Julia Quinn to keep the main couples and I think it makes sense for her to request that. They’re also creating tv-show covers for all of the books, with the tv couples on it, which wouldn’t work for Eloise and Theo haha. Either way, I’m sure they’ll make it an amazing season when the time comes!

@@kristywotte yea I herd about the agreement with Julia Quinn. We will see what happens, but like you said it will probably be good either way.

The only way I could see it working is if he is left with the twins and copes as badly as Eloise would, and they can be a disaster together so they are the same level and have an equal partnership. I almost threw the book when she decided she wanted babies and to be a wife. It was not her at all.

Personally, i like more the Smythe-Smith series, the male leads are more lovable, and i like when there is a build up for the ship, and not insta love

i would love if they also got an adaptation cuz we do see a mention of them in queen charlotte

I think you're onto something about the potential callbacks-and the over-the-top-ness of it all, in fact, actually kind of being THE appeal of it. I haven't actually read it[ or any of the Bridgerton books] yet, but that basically sums up exactly why even though this video criticized it (and fair enough so) I still found myself kinda just feeling like I totally wanted to read it anyway because I might somehow enjoy it actually because of all that. ^-^

It's my favorite book and so many people drag it. But I love that unlike his brothers Gregory knew he wanted true love and was optimistic about it. His book is so fun and over the top. But it makes sense, like he saw 7 siblings fall in love and people just expected him to be the same lol. Like why?! And I agree with you his book should be last as a great callback to previous books/show

@@jacquelinelugo5518 Gregory has basically been sitting there watching all of his siblings marry for love, all his brothers fall in love with their wives. And so he expects that. I loved his energy, his optimism, and his earnestness. Reading that wedding scene, reading him climb through windows to see Lucy, or running to get to her reception. I can totally get his frantic energy during the second half of the book. It feels exuberant.

@@fizzychizzy Yes, it shows that he will fight for what he wants. He never put a front or pretend to Lucy who he was. He knew that since he was the second youngest and didn't have the same pressures as his brothers. That he was extremely privileged and didn't actually work hard for anything. But once he gets that drive, he works hard for it. I love that he could tell Lucy was selfless enough that she would never run away with him. Like yeah him kind of kidnapped her wasn't great, but you understand why he did though

@@jacquelinelugo5518 I get that too. And honestly, Lucy understood, too. She gave him that hour to try his best. And isn’t that a call back to season 2 when Anthony describes Edmund to Gregory and says he was willing to fight for everything. I thought about that when I read his book. It’ll if they show Gregory’s season, it will be full of callbacks.

Agree. To think that I love both of these characters up to that point😭 I was so disappointed

I was a book reader first and I'm all for the changes. The show creators have clearly been showing a lot of love and care for the spirit of the books, and they only honor them by finding ways to improve the source material. ETA: An adaptation is an adaptation - if people don't like changes they should stick to the originals.

I mean... the bee scene could definitely have been PTSD triggering, watching your father die suddenly right in front of you and then getting thrust into not just "man of the house" / "head of the household" responsibilities in general but having your mother's and unborn baby-sibling's lives at risk and could be literally in your hands to decide could definitely mess you up and it all having been started by a bee-sting could make bees strongly associated with that trauma for life, but it definitely shouldn't have turned into a kiss/arousal/ or whatever..that made it hella weird, in my opinion. 😶😐👀
