Five Reasons Why Colin Bridgerton is the MVP of ‘Bridgerton’

features, tv

MVP of Bridgerton, Colin Bridgerton, Number 3, is chaotic, mischievous, and underestimated by most people around him, including his own family. He gets by with his charm and sense of humor; he can read any room and know how to navigate (most) situations. His perceptibility gives him profound moments of wisdom that tend to throw others off, particularly his older brothers. The Bridgerton family wouldn’t be where they are without him. He is the underrated MVP of Bridgerton, and here are some reasons why. *SPOILERS FOR THE BRIDGERTON BOOK SERIES* #1 Colin Bridgerton Introduces Kate & Anthony Nothing like having

Scene Breakdown: The Meaning of “Enough” in Bridgerton’s “After the Rain”

scene breakdown, tv

Bridgerton’s Portia Featherington falls into what I like to think of as the “Severus Snape League.” Is she someone that I like as a person? Not necessarily, at least not a great majority of the time. But is she someone whose depth and complexity makes her one hell of a character? Absolutely. Thanks to the Bridgerton show writers, and to how wonderfully Polly Walker plays her, she quickly became one of my favorite characters to watch. Many of the things she did and said were frankly awful, but then she’d turn around and tear her husband apart for gambling all

Polin Week, Day Six: Favorite Show Scene

netflix, scene breakdown, tv

It’s no secret every Polin (Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington of Netflix’s Bridgerton) fan loves their dancing scene (at 1:12) in season one’s “Diamond of the First Water.” There are a lot of reasons to love it! But my reason for loving it might be a little different than most, and for Polin Week, I wanted to share my love of this scene with this community. First, we have the obvious reasons this scene just truly hits different–for one, dancing? Any Bridgerton fan knows the absolute height of regency romance is a dance (see: Simon and Daphne, Darcy and Lizzie).

Scene Breakdown: Brandy, Brothers, and Vulnerability in Bridgerton’s “Oceans Apart”

scene breakdown, tv

“Oceans Apart” is both my favorite and objectively, the strongest episode in Bridgerton’s first season. And apparently, writing 4,461 words wasn’t enough because I’m back to talk about it more. Anthony Bridgerton is a work in progress, and in this episode, so is Colin Bridgerton. All the Bridgerton family members are, if we’re being honest. However, this is a scene that acutely showcases growth, and it does so in a moment of vulnerability that’s exceptional (and rare) for the regency period we’re in. And that’s something Bridgerton continues to get right by allowing the men ample opportunities to be vulnerable.

Bridgerton’s Chris Van Dusen Teases the First Episode Title of Season 2

news, tv

Bridgerton’s Chris Van Dusen teases the second season’s first episode title and it’s one fans of the book series understand all too well. As it’s been made clear multiple times by now, the second season of Netflix’s explosive romance genre will follow eldest Bridgerton, Anthony’s love story as he meets his match–the unbeatable, Kate Sharma. In Julia Quinn’s second novel in the series, The Viscount Who Loved Me, regency gossip columnist Lady Whistledown explicitly states: “Anthony Bridgerton is a Rake. A rake (lower-case) is youthful and immature. He flaunts his exploits, behaves with utmost idiocy, and thinks himself dangerous to

Scene Breakdown: Simon and Daphne’s Dance in Bridgerton’s “Shock and Delight”

scene breakdown, tv

Simon and Daphne have a number of precious dances throughout Bridgerton’s first season, but their first dance in “Shock and Delight” stands as our favorite. (And we’ve spoken many times about why their actual first, the one to “We Could Form an Attachment” is absolute magic.) However, this particular one is merely butterflies evoking galore, and to a melody that, oddly, for reasons I can’t explain makes me weepy when it’s relatively upbeat. Undeniably however, it’s the sheer, unbridled joy in that moment—it’s this precise dance that changes so much between the two of them.  It changes so much of
