Was Bridgerton's second season a successful slow burn or a total snoozefest? ineyekomo and KathleenNB discuss.
I would give it a cool 45% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s giving “gowns, beautiful gowns,” as always. I trustto at least give me that. Everyone looked amazing, but the writing was very busy and there was too much going on. And I just feel like Anthony and Kate, the lead couple, weren't giving me what they needed to give. I fast forwarded through a lot of it, and not even just through the ensemble’s scenes.We’re about to fight because I completely, wholeheartedly disagree.
Jonathan Bailey is a STAR, the leading man we deserve. He is a revelation. He nailed every look, every sniff, every monologue. The man can deliver a longing look unlike anyone else in the game right now. He IS the moment. In the beginning, I think the Simone Ashley performance was a little shaky, but the more I watch it the more I find nuances in it and I actually really enjoy her performance as well. They have thischemistry.
Simone Ashley, on the other hand — and this is going to hurt me to say — beautiful gowns. It's the season 1 effect where you had Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor, who were an unmatched couple when it came to their acting. Somebody in the dynamic is always doing most of the heavy lifting , and this time it was Jonathan Bailey.
The main reason Anthony and Kate can’t be together is because he is engaged to her sister, Edwina. What did we think of the love triangle?Trash. Trash, trifling, messy, and mean. Listen, y’all know I hate the enemies-to-lovers trope, so the storyline was already going to piss me off. But I feel like the way that you become lovers, and the way that you can convince me that you love each other is through some transformative connection…I didn't feel that connection.
In season 1, there’s a big montage where Daphne and Simon are on their honeymoon, having multiple romps, and those felt so choreographed and so fake. And I was not buying them at all. This one, at least, did feel more real because it was a more intimate and contained moment. It felt more authentic, like both actors were into it more. And so for everybody who's like,"This season is not as horny," I actually think this season is just as horny, just in a different way.
