Five Reasons Why Colin Bridgerton is the MVP of ‘Bridgerton’
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”
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
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”
“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.

Scene Breakdown: Colin, Penelope, and the Effortless Exchange in Bridgerton’s “An Affair of Honor”
There is a long way to go until Colin and Penelope find their happy ending, but in its first season, Bridgerton gave us quiet moments amidst loud chatter so effortlessly with these two, I might never be over it. No, Colin is not exactly the character we meet in the books, but he is getting there, and ultimately, we see most of that version when he is around Penelope. It is so easy to appreciate this particular scene in “An Affair of Honor” because their exchange is so effortless, it’s overwhelming. There is no one else outside of his family

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

Edmund Bridgerton is Here and We’re Already Emotionally Wrecked
Us, crying over Bridgerton casting news again? No, never. Not us. Narrator: They are in fact, crying about it. No, but really you know what this means? We are likely getting The Viscount Who Loved Me’s prologue or some version of it, and that alone has us wrecked. Rupert Evans, a period drama vet willing be starring as our very own Edmund Bridgerton. I mean, that description alone is enough to ruin us: “Edmund Bridgerton is a loving and devoted husband, whose true love match with Violet Bridgerton gave them eight perfect children. He’s also an endlessly patient and kind

Scene Breakdown: Simon and Daphne Form an Attachment on Bridgerton’s “Diamond of the First Water”
We know we’ve talked plenty about Bridgerton’s Simon and Daphne, but with the news that Regé-Jean Page won’t be returning for season two, we figured we’d do scene breakdowns for all their dances because that’s what everyone wants, right? While we’ve already discussed our favorite, their first in “Shock and Delight” it’s now time to discuss what was actually their first real dance, and the moment we all knew that we’d love Simon and Daphne so much more than we did in The Duke and I. We’ve discussed bits of this in our full episode review of “Diamond of the

‘Bridgerton’ is Returning for Seasons Three and Four
We have had full faith in the series and its potential since before season one even aired and early renewal news as such is always proof of the fact that people want happy endings. The announcement came at the crack of dawn for those of us here on the West Coast and let me tell you—it was a fine thing to be rewarded with on an otherwise random Tuesday. Bridgerton’s success is beautiful for a number of reasons and at the top of the list is because romance centered stories understand the importance of happiness. Romance is no longer a

Scene Breakdown: Colin and Penelope Dance on Bridgerton’s “Diamond of the First Water”
“On the sixth of April, in the year 1812 — precisely two days before her sixteenth birthday — Penelope Featherington fell in love. It was, in a word, thrilling. The world shook. Her heart leaped. The moment was breathtaking.” Romancing Mister Bridgerton, Julia Quinn What other scene breakdown would be appropriate today other than Colin and Penelope’s first (on-screen) dance? The correct answer is none. There’s absolutely nothing that would have been more appropriate today and thus, we’re revisiting the moment we all fell in love that day. There is a tremendous amount to appreciate about this scene starting with

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