POLIN IS NOT OKAY (Neither Am I) | Also, Everyone Is Bi? | First Time Watching: Bridgerton Season 3 

I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t understand the complaint with Penelope and Colin’s screen time either. Every main romance couple shared their screen time with other family members non-significant relationships. Simon and Daphne shared screen time in season 1 with Anthony and Siena Rosso, Benedict and Madam Delacroix and Lady Granville, Colin and Marina Thompson and Penelope. Anthony and Kate shared screen time in season 2 with Colin and Penelope and Lady Marina Crane, Eloise and Theo, Violet and Edmund, and Benedict and all his confusion idk. Not to mention all of the other side bar situations. Anyways I personally like it this way because we have years to see some of these individuals develop or see where they are in comparison to challenges they faced in flash backs which tends to lay the foundation for their primary romance in future seasons. It’s like an 1800’s soap opera.

I loved this season. I too have seen many negative comments but after rewatching a few times and catching little bits that I missed! We need to celebrate what we did get instead of complaining about it. J also recomme d listening to the audiobook before rewatching!

If i told you how much i cried with these last episodes. I LOVE this season. It touched me so much.

I couldn't agree more with your opinion on how the show went. I also read the book ages ago, I really resonate with Penelope and Colin's story. I think Luke and Nicolas are blowing it out the water. I'm sure they would have made changes as well if they had all the power in the world, but they didn't. And neither did the showrunner! 😂 The story couldn't go nowhere I was hoping it would, but is still allowed to be interesting and good and engaging and heart melting for me ❤🩷 like I love this wedding episode. I'm so glad I protected myself from spoilers as well as I did (even though I did get some, I knew how little some spoilers could be trusted as true) But of all seasons, this one and the amount of story lines they wanted to incorporate, which again I would be fine with, may have benefited from even a singular 9th episode. And I also bet they had enough footage to do so

Kendra, I loved your reaction and your comments afterwards. I think Season 3 was largely successful and I am very happy with the way they made this season. I will say that I could see how some might have criticisms here or there, but I don't agree with any of the videos that are claiming it was a disaster or whatever. I don't even bother with those because I disagree. I was moved to tears quite a few times and I really love Colin and Penn as a couple. I saw a really good, 55-minute analysis of Colin Bridgerton as a character, last night, and it filled me in on a lot of stuff that I didn't know, and it makes me like him -- and actor Luke Newton -- all the more! Anyway, thank you for your reactions! You are great!

I'm sorry to be back here again but I'll just leave the comment that Colin was putting Pen in front of Lords & titled men because he wanted her to find someone better than him as an untitled 3rd son, & he truly believed she didn't need teaching because he was charmed by her already & the Pen he knew was smart, beautiful & witty. He assumed she'd flutter her lashes and men would fall at her feet... because it was already working on him 😌🩵

😂😂😂❤🎉 I love so much how much do you understand that a certain level of Colin's drama is what you may have to deal with if you want a seriously emotional romantic man! 😂😂

So great to see your positivity and enthusiasm for the season. I think that every time there’s a book adaptation no one will be completely happy but I enjoy theseason overall. Would I have liked to see Polin more than we did? Absolutely. Do I wish that we got to see more of a honeymoon after they married? You better believe it. But overall, I feel like this season actually had a lot of references from the book and I really appreciated that. As you said, more than anything, I just enjoyed Nicola and Luke’s portrayal of my favorite couple, so I call that a win.

Love that you loved it! Would I have loved more cute, fun Polin moments? Sure, but a lot of criticisms are from people who would never be happy. One girl on TikTok said it would've been better if he'd pretended to love her then kidnapped & isolated her in the countryside - which has 30k+ likes! Like...baby, no. These are two flawed characters who identified their own insecurities & worked on them to be better for themselves and each other. We are not romanticising domestic abuse tactics over here. Our couple are rule breakers - constantly unchaperoned - but that's it and that only happens because no one sees Pen other than Colin who literally looked for her in every social occasion (very obvious in a rewatch). Also saw it was too "feminist" as he said he just lives for her. Firstly, he didn't. He said "if" that was his purpose, then became a whole published writer, father and manager of the Featherington estate. Secondly, that declaration wins over the book one. He had to be humbled several times but he did learn. That's how we know he's a fictional man 🥲 Anyway, would've loved another scene or two of them being goofy and in love over Benedict getting railed every which way but hopefully we get more of that with each new season. Loved the review, will happily take more thoughts! The Polin subreddit has great Easter eggs, just stay out of the Bridgerton one. They seem to hate every part of the show yet frequent the boards? Idk...

I’ve loved watching your Polin reaction videos over the last few months. Your comment about them being like crack cocaine nailed it for me 🤣🤣 I also agree with your final comment about the end of the season. I would have loved more Polin moments, especially towards the end, to see them happy after the drama of LW would have been perfect. I could have easily sacrificed Benedict and his threesomes for that to happen. Really can’t wait for season four and a lot more romantic Polin moments 😍😍😍😍

I really loved this season. Polin is my favorite couple

Been waiting on this video and who would have thought that ur reaction has me balling 😢 I absolutely love this season and them as a couple. I'm obsessed I watch bridgerton almost everyday. It's my happy place. Whatever vision julia Quinn, netflix, shondaland has I will be there to watch. As Colin say this is BLOODY BRILLIANT 👏🏽 ❤

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it as much as I did! I had a great time! If you haven't watched Queen Charlotte yet, it's fantastic! I finally watched it after Bridgerton s3 and I'm so glad I did! Loved your reactions!!! Thanks so much for the good time!

I think a main thing is: the creators of the Bridgerton series established in their story telling that they are gonna show not tell what is happening.But they decided not to show us what happened behind closed doors betwenn Polin after Francescas wedding in favor of the surprise twist that led to the ultimate LW reveal at the butterfly ball. And apparently Polin did not clear up everything in this conversation behind closed doors because we still get the Colin monloge in the end. Instead we got shown 4(?) threesome scenes with Benedict which could have been more effective and edited down . I actually loved season three BUT it was a bait and switch from the "friends to lover" trope to general growth and learning and selfacceptance and forgiving. I think it is fair to feel like the pacing and editing of the last two episode were are let down compared to the first six episodes and to the expactation that the show creators established for their viewers since season one.

I thought it was sweet how many times you cried during that last episode. Does Porsche and Penelope moments were very sweet. And I think we all should have assumed a little bit more about soft-sub Colin 😂I also love all the animated editing you did.❤

Me encantan tus opiniones se me hacen acertadas y equilibradas mi temporada favorita es esta y muchas de tus reacciones las tuve por igual, gracias 🥰🌻🙌

FANTASTIC KENDRA

Sat for this, you're my favorite reactor to Polin by a mile

I was like you i cried when Pen gave her speech.The show runner said Pen got pregnant her first time in the mirror scene

I'd love to get a full review about this season from you. We seem to have very similar thoughts on Polin and S3 ...I absolutely adored this season and I also feel that this season had alot of hate built up for it concerning Luke Newton not actually dating Nicola, people hating on Colin for being sensitive and not bombastic like Anthony, and people fat-shaming Nicola. I also think this season had so many more people hate on it due to not seeing what they wanted from the book and then labeling it as bad. The Colin in the book is very different from show Colin in terms of his aggression....in the books he was toxic and at times abusive towards Pen, but people mistake that as passionate...from the very beginning of S1 all the creators and Luke Newton talked about how they didn't want to make that ok and decided to shift Colin to being even more sensitive, and while he has a temper he is never aggressive...for this reason, I think Colin in particular gets alot of hate and is constantly demeaned for being a wimp or a baby, so anytime he is expressing emotions that is not aggressive anger, book fans and general audiences want to hate on him for being different or not the typical male lead we are used to seeing. It is so frustrating because to me, show-Colin is the healthiest and most stable Bridgerton sibling and I think this season was the most realistic and entertaining one yet.

thank you for your words! very insightful

I love your reaction to the wedding so much.. it had all my favorite clips. Colin and Penelope's nod before walking down the aisle makes my heart explode! 💕 💓I want to cry😂 I think their love is so beautiful. I think it's also very brave of calling the way he's never too proud to take the advice of others and really consider his feelings. So he understands they're in a disagreement they have to eventually work through, but he also knows it's his wedding day and he LOVES HER!!💗💒 It would be hard to make me not feel like this season was beautiful, because of them.

The wedding dance song was "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift

20:05 the fact that Penelope is outside this conversation is psycho!! This what to do about cressida's blackmail convo should have been Penelope LED

definitely want to hear what else you have to say!

I cried too girl

The biggest issue for me personally is the reaction to Luke’s personal life. He was spotted with his partner at the part 2 premiere after party, and yes the timing might be off, but people actual disliking him, and not watching because of that ? Wow. I know the PR tour blurred lines between Nicola and Luke, but they said numerous times they were friends, and they don’t owe fans them being together.

Your Face is The Bees Knees

People were saying pen got pregnent in their first time😅

I think michaela thought that eloise was john’s wife so that’s why she introduced herself to fran. But maybe i’m wrong lol
