it’s actually a bit of a myth that the leads had less time on screen together this season! julia cudney made a video (bridgerton math) where she calculated every character and couple’s screen time over all 3 seasons (yes, even footman john 😂) and polin and kanthony actually had the same amount of screen time in their respective seasons!

I also love Philipa! But I totally agree!

tbh i was never gonna watch season three because no force on this earth is going to make me give a single fuck about colin, and after seeing everyone’s reactions to the season, i’m glad i skipped it.

I liked S2 but loved season 3. I get that the chase is where rhr butterflies are but I just loved Colin & Pen growing into themselves & setting up their lives together. Best season yet for me.

Idk if we need another season, but I definitely would like a special episode saying goodbye to Fez. I think that’s so needed, Fez/Angus needs a send off 😢

Eek! I’m so happy to have found a black creator making bridgerton content. New subscriber locked in 🥰🥰🥰

Relax bro, bi and pan are pretty much interchangeable. Be wary of people who draw hard boundaries between the two definitions, because they are usually furthering biphobic stereotypes (as in, bisexual is "not inclusive").

IMHO the storylines feel too compressed because 8 eps aren’t enough, like for flashbacks and giving more depth to important developments

You're Soo real for this Chu!! I didn't even want to watch S3, only watched it through your vids!! ❤❤

I feel bad bc I love Nicola but the writers just ruined this season. I felt more feelings for Pen and Elouise making up then I did about Polin. I used to srsly dislike Anthony and they made him the most likeable man on earth in S2. Whereas I didn’t mind Colin before and now I like him even less 💀

Season 2 is unbeatable for me - Queen Charlotte is second and then I didn’t mind season 1 and 3

i hate to give sam any credit but his excuse for the weird set up of season 2 could b something he pushed hard season one but didnt mention at all this season which is that rue is an unreliable narrator. season one she was at school and was a background character in her own life. which is why she spent a lot of time telling us about other people in her life and keeping the spotlight off herself. till jules of course. after jules came into the picture it was more abt her. thats why season 2 u could say is just pain cause she was vulnerable for once and that blew up in her face. we spent a lot of time on cassie who ended up being her excuse and her way out. this was a drunk rant idk where else im going w this but im sure an excuse could b thought up for everyone else no excuse for kat he was for sure being a weirdo w that storyline. & I hate that mckay wasnt written in. that plot could have hit so well if written by a black man who has some grace for topics like male sexual assault, homophobia, hyper masculinity & the boys don't cry bs in the black community specifically. but hell for the male community in general. he could have done so much with that character.

8:25 made me laugh so hard. “what’s the difference? DONT CANCEL ME!”

The main love story sucked and it wasn’t even their fault. The writers really sabotaged this season. So much time wasted on the mondrichs bar, cressidas sob story and cuts to Benedict having sex 💀 only thing worth watching was kanthony and pen and els friendship

I’m so confused on learning that whistle down literally gets exposed publicly ?? What were they thinking. And how would she even get new material to write if everyone knows it’s her

I actually agree. For me, season three consisted of too many storylines and not enough time developing the main two characters- esp. Colin. Colin was never three dimensional enough for me to see why Penelope sat by her windowsill every day, and I actually really dislike the fact that she gave away her identity as lady whistledown to the ton. I think it would’ve been interesting and fun for just the queen and the Bridgerton‘s to know who she was while the rest of the ton still remained oblivious. PS I also didnt like how the writers chose the easy route and made Cressida a villain again by the end of the season. It was like when she stopped serving the function of being Eloise’s best friend she was written off.

The one season the big girl gets a chance to shine they fumble the story poor penelope

I love this review video!! You’re so wholesome and it’s refreshing to see

9:44 iT SUCKS TO BE A SOPHIE BECKETT FAN JUST BECAUSE BENEDICT WANTED TO HAVE HIS CHALLENGERS ERA 🙄🙄🙄

coming back to this video after also watching challengers 4 times. it's such a good movie!!!!

I still enjoyed it but I wish they didn’t introduce Fran and the Michael story. I would have liked more intimate moments with Colin and pen but I lived for Anthony and Kate!! I agree with you-remove the will, Alicia and their storyline. And we could have done without Danbury’s brother.

the weird thing about Tilly is, she looks exactly like I what I pictured Sophie's stepmom to look like in the books

I agree with all these pints honestly and throughout watching the season I didn’t feel the huge spark between Penelope and Colin. Yes they had some exciting scenes but for me it was hard to believe that Colin truly had feelings for Penelope and maybe it’s because of the lack of scenes they had

I totally agree about wanting to throw hands as soon as the public knew who Whistledown was 😅😂 Very good points made please continue these criticisms please !! ❤

My take on it has been this: It’s true I didn’t like season 3 as much as season 2 but that was the same as when I felt very meh about season 1. I thought maybe the magic was just kinda gone bc (please don’t stone me but…) I just don’t like Simon/Daphne or Colin/Penelope even half as much as I like Kate and Anthony. So that’s why for me, the magic kinda disappears and I don’t watch the every couples season with rose colored glasses to ignore any potential flaws. Bc when I think about it, season 3’s weak spots are the same as the ones they had in season 2 with too many side plots that needed stronger writing (and more screen time than just 8 episodes) to tie them in neatly to the main love story. The difference is that in season 2 I was so obsessed with Kate and Anthony that I would legit skip scenes that didn’t have them and on rewatches I do the same thing, only caring about my favorite Kanthony moments so even though I know there was other side plots happening in their season I was laser focused on Kate and Anthony which makes me forget all the flaws of the production/writing of season 2. I can’t say the same for season 1 or 3 because I was actually as excited to see the side plots and characters the same amount as I was about the main couple since I didn’t actually care that much for Simon/Daphne or Colin/Penelope in season 1 and 3. It was actually quite a shock to me when other people online were also saying they didn’t care for season 3 since I thought it was just a me thing based on my preference. But I don’t dislike season 3 at all, it’s super funny and well acted but I agree that having so many side plots is a major hindrance especially when the work is not being done to make sure the side plots are RELEVANT to add to the main couples story.

This is the new showrunner’s first gig and it shows lol

I absolutely love your reactions and going back to review them. Don't let anyone give you grief for YOUR opinion. We can agree to disagree as long as we keep the conversation open for the two year wait 😢. I'm of the unpopular opinion that this was a good season, because I married my life long best friend and understand the pacing of this season when it comes to the main couple. The "will I ruin the dynamic" or "what if I'm the only one with these feelings"; it's hard to jump two feet in. In regards to all of the side stories, I think this is a way to tidy up some stories while setting up for others. Not done optimally, but can see that it was to retain a variety of viewers presenting some characters with weak stories, with less focus on the main characters. I started the Bridgerton Rollercoaster like everyone else; the regency thrill of drama and romance. Not every story is meant to be built on a lie, feral or toxic to be exciting. But those are the things people enjoyed about the other three seasons. It doesn't lessen the beauty of the stories, but if I have to stick to a romantic trope, I'm sticking to the one that has lasted me 28 years so far and 3 kids later.

It is too bad everyone is complaining about what we didnt get instead of celebrating what we did. Everything we wanted from the book happened. The love scenes were so beautiful. Love declaration after love declaration from both characters. I LOVED season 3!! The more I watch it the more I love it

Season 3 was my favorite season. I havent stopped rewatching it since its been out

Beauty of the diversity of opinions! I personally hated season 2 (in fact, I only finished season 1 because my friends promised me that s2 was amazing so I forced myself to continue). Season 3 was the first season I rewatched (now rewatching Queen Charlotte, which personally ranks no 1 atm for me). I do agree there was far too many subplots - some of them could definitely have stayed but did not require that much screen time. I do think there was an issue of "tell, don't show" this season, which could have easily been resolved with; (a) longer run time episodes, (b) making it a 10-episode season. The only thing I really did not like was Penelope's LW monologue, as it felt a little too "girl boss" and I really do hope we do see a bit of pushback from the Ton in s4, just because everyone moving on from it felt a little too Disney. Yes, they all eat up the gossip and never miss an issue, but everyone in the Ton is a massive hypercrite and I definitely think they would have some superiority complex over her - even if they're all the sheep following her in reality. But other than that, I really loved this season, especially Polin's development. They've had the luxury of 2 prior seasons build up and Luke especially brings a lot of nuance and subtleties to Colin's feelings that become more obvious with each re-watch.

Yeah Jess Brownell ruined the series. She killed the excitement for season 4.

Im sorry but Kate is a horrible actess.... i like Anthony and that opera singer better. Season 1 was on another level.

You were so on point about Benedict's storyline. It was so repetitive and boring to me, they were basically just relying on Luke Thompson's charisma and talent, but it was not enough, especially since I get the sense that he was being set up as being the next lead. They did a really good job with setting up Anthony as the next lead in season 1

We deserved more naked Nicola! And we should've gotten more Colin kicking himself for not seeing Pen sooner, grovelling for her forgiveness for that stupid comment he made about her, and to watch him realise how blind to what was always in front of him the whole time. That's the whole point of friends to lovers, especially if one didn't have romantic feelings until more recently. You kinda wanna see that moment where it really *clicks* but you also wanna see the lead up to that. Where they're falling but don't realise until they're already too far gone in it, y'know. And we definitely didn't get enough time with them just being together and hanging out. We never see their inside jokes, or the way they gossip with each other in a corner somewhere, them having banter & just seeing why these people would make sense together. We never got to see them being *friends* and we barely got to see them being lovers, imo. Disappointing, really. 😯😯😯 I *also* thought they were giving us Michaela for Eloise! I know that Michael is meant for Francesca when it's her main story, but I thought maybe they'd just give us queer Eloise in the meantime since we know Francesca's season is still quite a while away, and I'm pretty sure Eloise will come after Benedict. The books make it so that Francesca and John were happily married until he (book spoiler!) d!es and she catches feelings for Michael (but the 3 of them were all besties when John was alive and Fran was fully in love with John the whole time). Like, maybe not even a proper rship between Eloise & Michaela, but definitely just for us to see that she is queer.

I love this video!!! I agree with everything you said. Your thoughts are very interesting

Ai i can’t watch this reaction yet I’m at work 😭😭😭can’t wait to go home and really enjoy it

Its funny how everyone says Eloise is a bad friend an she should of known she was lady whitsdown but her "friend" been talking shit about her an her family like why would i think my best friend is lady whitsldown why would i think my friend is talking shit about me an my family the family she so desperately want to be in no Penelope is a bad friend

i love this channel so much! your energy and point of view is amazing! keep slaying ❤️

23:20 Maybe we'll see some of that in season 4.

I agree with what you said! Can you please react to the serpent queen? I’m not sure if you have but if you haven’t I think you would like it!!!:)

I don't think people were looking for flaws it's very noticeable how lack luster an not good the season is an it was rushed

I love this channel SOOOOO MUCH!!!💛💛💛

I enjoyed Cressida in the first half with Eloise. I think people kind of buy into this idea that Eloise never listened to Penelope when what I have seen is Eloise asking Penelope questions about herself and Penelope changing the topic and getting Eloise to talk about something else. Then Eloise gets blamed by the audience for not listening to Penelope! None of the Bridgertons except Violet (and that seemed more her wish than knowledge) seemed to know how Penelope felt about Colin. Penelope actively hid that. I don't mind that a friend has feelings for her friend's brother. If they get together, they become sisters(-in-law) and part of the family, which they can be happy about. I think Eloise wondered whether Penelope had used her to get to Colin, and I think she had a valid concern there. It's funny that until Francesca showed back up, I used to see takes that Eloise was neurodivergent, but since then it's been crickets. She might or might not be queer. Maybe she'll move in with Theo and Cressida. She could be ace. But I don't like when people assume someone must be queer or must be het, because I think you can be all kinds of ways and be anything. Like people would assume Francesca was het, but apparently not. So it would be kind of interesting for them both to not be what people expect. I understand a lot of people would like Eloise to be queer, though, and she may be. I was down for her with Cressida and genuinely disappointed when the show threw it away. I think Michaela is all right, although I had seen rumors that the actress was going to be Benedict's love interest, so it was a bit of a surprise. I didn't like that Francesca seemed so taken by Michaela immediately and wasn't that pleased by the wedding kiss, but I hope they carry off the story in spite of that. I was thinking they should have made the Mondriches' son the Featherington baron instead of the Baron of Kent. Then that could set up a conflict with the Featheringtons and combine the stories. They could even let Portia stay on at the house as Jack did (possibly). Prudence and Philippa presumably have their own households.

Bi and pan are pretty much the same unless the person thinks a specific term fits them better. (This according to long threads I've read on Tumblr.) Neither tern existed in the Regency anyway.

There's a new showrunner for this season and I think the change has been the reason for alot of the issues. I preferred Chris Van Dusen. I wish he would have stayed on. The costumes this season were ugly except for Penelope's and we didn't get any great romantic lines like "you are the bane of my existence". I still liked it but you can definitely feel the change of the new showrunner.

I think the side plot of the Featheringtons was very important to the Polin story. They provide the background of the world Penelope is coming from. That environment helped the emergence of Lady Whistledown

I loved it. And think a lot of people loved it too.

Overall, I enjoyed this season. Last season has issues as well. My main issues were with the camera shots not lingering on the main couple during their moments and robbing us of the final couple dance. They were supposed to dance after the reveal! Colin and Pen are the best couple to me. They needed more screen time.
