A period drama that goes beyond horse carriages and distant relatives fighting for the throne. Of course, societal drama is a big part of Bridgerton but not for reasons you’d anticipate.

It’s the “courting season” in 1813 London, where well-known families try to set young people up with each other for marriage. Daphne Bridgerton, the elder daughter of an upper-class family and Simon, the handsome Duke of Hastings who’s reluctant to get married eventually fall for each other only for things to get complicated and end in… marriage.

Bridgerton is about sex— a lot of it, to a point where you forget what the show is even about, really and the audience is not complaining. Also, people are dancing at balls, prominent families drinking tea and the English society during a time where hugging someone you’re attracted would force you to marry them, no questions asked.

The show is uniquely inclusive with character’s not-very-long-but-interesting backstories. Overall, Bridgerton makes for a GREAT binge-watch. And if nothing,  it for the Duke of Hastings; you will not regret it.
