Based on Julia Quinn\u2019s novels, this purposefully over-the-top <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> from Shondaland was a pandemic-era hit. Though still gorgeously produced, admirable in its color-blind diversity and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly fun to watch, the show often feels like biting into fluffy cotton candy only to come away with a mouth full of cloying marzipan.<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s a peculiar truth about <em>Bridgerton<\/em>, dearest gentle reader. The wealthy, do-nothing Bridgertons tend to be the dullest people in any given ballroom. (That was clear enough in Season 1, when insipid Daphne Bridgerton was eventually swept off her feet by Simon, the dashing Duke of Hastings, who sadly is nowhere to be seen in Season 2, Reg\u00e9-Jean Page having decided to cast his gaze elsewhere.) The focus in Season 2 now falls on Daphne\u2019s eldest brother, the pompous and arrogant and intermittently shirtless Viscount Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), who goes on and on about how marriage is a business and has no business interfering with his closed-off heart.<\/p>\n<p>More fool him (and anyone who falls for that act), once he sets his eye on the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> season\u2019s new \u201cdiamond,\u201d the demure Edwina (Charithra Chandran), an ingenue imported from India and groomed for the occasion. She yearns for declarations of love, but Anthony\u2019s throbbing heart (among other organs) is way more stimulated by Edwina\u2019s headstrong sister, Kate (the fiery Simone Ashley, this season\u2019s standout performer).<\/p>\n<p>As if they were channeling Shakespeare\u2019s Benedick and Beatrice from <i>Much Ado About Nothing <\/i>(among other influences), Anthony and Kate bicker constantly, fueled by her fury over eavesdropping on his love-be-damned braggadocio. (I was in Kate\u2019s corner from the moment she announced her disdain for British tea.) Before long\u2014although \u201clong\u201d is in the eye of the beholder of these stretched-out Netflix series\u2014Anthony begins to realize he\u2019s at least as excited as he is aggravated by Kate\u2019s provocations. Plus, she rides a mean horse.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1036077\" style=\"width: 2038px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1036077\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1036077\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bridgerton-season-2-nicola-coughlan-claudia-jessie-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bridgerton Season 2 Nicola Coughlan and Claudia Jessie\" width=\"2028\" height=\"1354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bridgerton-season-2-nicola-coughlan-claudia-jessie-2.jpg 2028w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bridgerton-season-2-nicola-coughlan-claudia-jessie-2-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bridgerton-season-2-nicola-coughlan-claudia-jessie-2-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bridgerton-season-2-nicola-coughlan-claudia-jessie-2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bridgerton-season-2-nicola-coughlan-claudia-jessie-2-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bridgerton-season-2-nicola-coughlan-claudia-jessie-2-570x381.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2028px) 100vw, 2028px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1036077\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Liam Daniel\/Netflix)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>And that\u2019s just the half of it. Alas.<\/p>\n<p>Many more subplots await the gentle viewer, most involving the unfortunate wretches of the neighboring Featherington estate. As widowed and nearly penniless Baroness Portia, Polly Walker presides over her grotesque brood of Featherington daughters with such transparently mercenary vulgarity I kept expecting them to break into character songs from Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein\u2019s <em>Cinderella<\/em>. The sympathetic outlier in that house is wallflower Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), revealed at the end of Season 1 as the anonymous author of Lady Whistledown\u2019s infamous gossip dispatches (narrated by a droll Julie Andrews), a snarky sort of 19th-century blog that keeps all of the \u2019Ton on their toes.<\/p>\n<p>The season\u2019s other dominant through-line, besides the Anthony-Kate-Edwina melodrama, is Penelope\u2019s desperate desire to keep her Whistledown identity a secret\u2014especially from the vindictive Queen of England (a sly Golda Rosheuvel) and also her Bridgerton BFF Eloise (Claudia Jessie), the family\u2019s progressive upstart who becomes increasingly tiresome company.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the real scandal of <em>Bridgerton<\/em>: Try as it might, it\u2019s no substitute for Jane Austen.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Bridgerton,<\/strong><\/em> <strong>Season Premiere, Friday, March 25, Netflix<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
