The most IRRITATING part of this show was when her oldest brother just straight up sells her off to the worst dude he could find then acts like he’s doing daphne a favor lol
thats how it used to be
I was so done with him 😭😭 in the book he’s much better
Thats real life stuff though
@@mattreyes4803 it’s so shitty 😑 he acted like an ass the whole show
julia drumond in the books he is lovely, I’m waiting to see his story in the second season whit Kate
Nobody:
Daphne’s bangs: 🦀
PLEASE
Underrated comment
🤣🤣
OMG YES HAHAH
No LmAOOOOOOO 💀💀💀💀💀
bridgerton drinking game: take a shot everytime an argument is followed by a sex scene
LMFAO 💀💀
episode 5 and 6 be like ethyl coma
Then I am now black out drunk
SYOPP LMAO
I'm now dead from liver failure
You forgot to talk about the girl that was pregnant, drank a portion to have an abortion and it didn't work.
He just covered the first episode that's it
@Zandisile Khetwayo I didn’t she was a horrible character, boring and overdramatized
@@hannahc8189 it was tea with herbs
@@raileneandlina Thanks!
@Zandisile Khetwayo
That's YOUR opinion, she's boring in mine.
So the brother scared off all the other guys interested in his sister and left her with the only option she literally was uncomfortable with? A+ sibling right there.
Yeah the brother was the worst character in the show
Yeah and the baby sister who never shuts up, the sister who bashes her desire to fall in love and have babies, the mom who withheld crucial information about the birds and the bees... the Bridgertons are proof that wealth and looks never guarantee good familial connection.
yeah why the hell did he do that
God wait until you see what he does later about the guy she does like lmao
He was too spiteful. He at first determine with "my sister should has the best". But when his mother confronted him about responsibility of a noble, he was like "there, that is your respected husband". Like did you not run at least background check on him 😑. Or not to pick the most undesirable man of the season.
Edit: some people are confused by my comment so let me rephrase.
I am ANGRY and SADDENED by the lack of “The Devil’s Tango” jokes made by Alex in this video.
Trying to start fights in the comments.
Let them find that scene for themselves.😂
Same 😔😔
HELLO!!! I want to spend time with celebrities. Just kidding. GAGAGAGAGA! I only want to spend time with my two girlfriends and record RUclips videos for with the 3 of us. OH YEAH. Don't hate me for living the best life, dear this
Haha
He shoulda said Daphne gets all worried about being alone with berbrook and the duke in the garden because she’s worried people will assume they were doing the *DEVILS TANGO*
I really wished daphne gave birth to a girl, so that Simon could have time to accept the fact of being a father before getting an heir.... many people dont understand him
Same. I was very disappointed that it wasn't a girl.
@@SolidarityGraphicsYT exactlyyy, the writers fucked up
Considering their first three kids were girls, I'd say yes. The writers did indeed fuck up.
@@SolidarityGraphicsYT their first 3 kids where?
In the books, fam. There are 8 books. One for each Bridgerton sibling. Daphne had 5 children, the eldest three being girls with the two younger ones being boys.
Basically my brothers review of Bridgerton. He kept saying its corny but watched it all the way through anyways and keeps asking if Season 2 of "that boring show" is out yet lol
aww
The reason starts with s and ends in x
@@scholaroftheworldalternatehist That's exactly what got my sci-fi and action movie loving dad into watching it, then subsequently dropping it in season 2 due to the lack of devil's tango scenes.
Fun fact: Women didn't have to undo any of their clothing to use the bathroom. Back then, women's underwear was crotchless, so all you had to do was hike up your skirt and either sit over the chamber pot or hold it under your skirt and go.
✨the more you know✨
I can imagine the practicality of it
@@bread6052 Until a woman got her period. Then all practicality got thrown out the window. Historians still aren't sure how women dealt with periods while wearing crotchless underwear.
@@SunnysFilms ive heard some women wore belts with cotten cloth, that kind of look like modern underwear
also when woman would wear those iron crinolines underneath their skirts there was no way for them to sit down so they would basically.... do what they had to do standing up in some corner and then graciously walk away for a servant to clean it.
yeah living in these times was.... something else lmao
They did the devil’s tango a lot in this show.
I heard they did the devil's tango while an orchestral version of "Wildest Dreams" played.
@@fairycat23 Sadly yes
@@umarsyarif6535 I think if you do not know what the devils tango is i think your a bit to young to be watching youtube or just really innocent.
@@umarsyarif6535 its a devil doing tango :)
@@priyumehra9828 nah in general it actually means dancing with another person
Daphne was the kind of girl who wanted true love and children and a happily ever after. She wanted to be the perfect girl whom ppl liked, which I think made many ppl hate her character because usually the main female leads are more like Eloise. But I actually found it refreshing to have such a series with a female lead so unlike your usual stereotypical lead, her character in a way was more like the villain you would expect in such shows, someone with the need to be perfect and win rather than someone who is 'not like the other girls' and wants to be employed rather than marry some old fart and waste her life.
oooh I like and appreciate this paragraph. that makes so much sense
no fr but also she highk r*ped the duke w the whole pregnancy thing so I still rly hate her
Well, actually she just represents the "female ideal" at the time. She wanna get married and have children okey, no one cares about it actually, it's still a personal choice, but the way she has been desperately seeking it, the marriage, the kids, people's eyes... That's the thing that people hate (+ what she did to the guy apparently), not her, the image of women that time, she said it herself "marriage is my duty" or whatever, she represents the "perfect woman" in society's eyes at THAT time, meanwhile Éloïse represents a free woman for our generation, the woman who's not affected by society and all the "show me look at me" things they got there. She's not like all the other female leads (they got the same intention but usually fails at showing it) even tho she's not perfect to what she's supposed to represent either
mm idk still dont like her she annoyed me
I loved her character, she wanted to marry good not only because of her but also because of her family. She was looking after her siblings and she was sweet about it too instead of being a strict rude mf
i was born in the wrong time😖 ugh the 1813’s are so romantic.... i would be a *slave*
Huh? I know it's a joke but who r we mocking. I like old historical stuff. I in no way want to go back
the guy would be too
Sheeeeit I would never want to be born in the 1,800's especially since I'm black lol
So romantic 😻
Same
Bridgerton seems so innocent, until like halfway through and you’re watching Daphne experience *it* for like 4 episodes with your mom.
@Peter Salucci I wish I made the same choice haha 😅
@Peter Salucci if I had known about all the *ahem* devils tango scenes I would have never suggested to watch it with my mom but it was too late to back out at that point 🙃
Alyssa Pinon lmao it was the same thing with me 😂
For real
@@bronwynrumbel456 The same thing happened to me, anytime one of those scenes popped up, my eyes were everywhere but the screen hahaha.
pov, you are crying because he never said devil's tango.
OMG yes!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭
Yeeeeeeas! I was 110% sure he'd do it because there's a lot of "devil's tango" on the show haha. I'm kinda of disappointed.
crying in the club 😭 btw i make videos on films and shows if you’re interested!
it felt uncomplete TT
“Those are the only characters worth caring about” excuse me, Benedict is my precious cream puff, how dare you forget him.
The fact that he could be gay it just makes me go like :)))))
@@luciafernandezfernandez58 I was waiting for that to be revealed! But I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
yeah i WISH they’d shown more of his cultural and sexual awakening haha. Especially with how he’s showed as the counterpiece to Eloise trying to find her own way outside of society’s norms. There is so much potential for that intriguing art/freedom/19th century hippies/orgy place he keeps going to and the painter’s influence on him.
@@luciafernandezfernandez58 They could be making him bi, but unless they are completely abandoning the book that focuses on him he's going to fall in love with and marry a woman.
@@luciafernandezfernandez58 i hope he’ll be bi, i wanna see his love interest from the books in the show because she’s a real gem

What that’s amazing

God I wish more of the show was just the fake dating/enemies to lovers situation. The whole marriage/miscommunication situation, the rape scene and the bland "married people who hate each other except when the look at each other" thing afterwards was just... not it.
Let’s be real: one of the most hilarious things in the show were all those songs played classically with like an orchestra and all, like the first one was thank u next I believe and later bad guy and in my blood as well
I noticed that too! They played a Shawn Mendes song too
whats wrong with that?
@@asudedagdeviren3672 just cringe
@@asudedagdeviren3672 I did not find anything wrong with it.
@@anais4736 well you might not like it but it was not cringe..
I'm sorry but it seems like how Americans imagine European history.
More like the way BBC reimagines English history. 1813 was a really good year for Black Dukes in England.
The year is 1813 and all they care is balls and upper class games. Kinda forgot that Napoleon was still around "kicking ass" on continental Europe.
Well the novel itself is like the harlequin books that focus on self-insert romance and sex. Not for the historical accuracy.
I mean, it's set in 1813 (right?) and even if we ignore that the queen is a person of colour, the ruler of England at that point was George IV, *(no it wasn't past me, it was his father George III - the crazy one from Hamilton, George IV became king in 1820 after his father's death)* so any hope for historical accuracy was out the window the second she appeared on the screen.
edit for historical accuracy, ironically
You are correct
Everyone is suddenly a history snob. What do you expect from a show that literally played modern songs like Bad Guy? It is a historical fan fiction and people should realize that
edit : yall stop being racist. This is FICTION, it's just set in England, has Queen Charlotte, and it's set in a specific time period in England but the similarities to our version of England at that time and this work of fiction stops right there. So what if their version of England had a black duke? Their version of England is clearly different than ours, so let's just appreciate this romance story. You guys need to understand what a historical fan fiction means before commenting. Have a nice day :)
literally. very toxic race issues too.
@kebab REMOVER If I was English, this series would get me so mad. I mean, the queen, black, really? Thats historically so inaccurate and insulting at the same time lol
@@martinschmidt3989 you must’ve missed the “not trying to be historically accurate part”
@kebab REMOVER "these africans" ok, racist
i so agree! i also wish they didn't want black people to be slaves. like why can't we be included sometimes?
I sure didn't like her tricking him into procreating when he was clear about that from the start. so uncomfortable. I could see it building to that but hoped it was a misdirect
While I'm not defending what she did because you have a really good point I don't think that he was clear as you say with the matter about having children. He let her think that he wasn't able to provide children but she shouldn't, of course, have done what she did.
Thank you. Someone said it. Clearly the guy wanted to pull out lol. I found that a little disturbing too. I mean she jumps on the man two seconds after finding out how kids are made. God! Woman get a hold of yourself and ask for consent first.
@@sandhya9943 I don't understand why she made such a great decision when she really didn't know to what extent if he was being so deceiving and manipulative of a person. She was willing to assault him basically. It was very extreme act for the amount of hurt she went to through. it was not a 50/50 they both had wronged.
Like she herself said, it is DIFFERENT to say he CAN'T have children than to say he doesn't WANT to have them. He lied to her. She was willing to spend her life with him in the context of "I can't have children" but not in the context of "I don't want Children"
Honestly, i wish people were just as upset about Sansa's rape scenes in GoT as much as they are about this. But when it happens to a woman is suddenly just "historically accurate".
Why did daphne had to break the princes heart for fucking Simon, like he played her, the prince is so bubbly and innocent don’t do my guy like that
ikr, the prince was honestly so sweet
I’m lowkey tired of the emotionally troubled bad boys winning over the sweeter ones. The “good” boys can be just as passionate as the “bad” ones (hell, that makes them even hotter lmao)!
@qυιηтεssεηтιαl qυεεη give the toxic guys some good therapy and then we can talk about having relationships with them lol
Love is love, you can't control it.You can't stop liking one person one day and falling in love with another the next.
@@sweethomealabama3665 Sounds like you’d choose the toxic guy over the sweet one whoops
video title: „bridgerton is kinda dumb“
Alex: I enjoyed the show really much
I thought it was "kinda dumb" they casted so many minorities when the show takes place in EARLY 1800's ENGLAND (and I'm a minority myself), but the story was engaging enough you stop caring.
@@nahor88 its not supposed to be historically accurate in that way, it's like an alternate timeline. they literally have a scene where they talk about why their society is the way it is
Yeah, yeah, exactly! And he make me wanna watch it too. That's unexpected 😐
Im guessing you're new to this channel, but that's how he normally captions his videos cause its not literally
@@nahor88 it was literally explained in the show why that is and also at the time there were many black people in England at the time due to slavery
Lady Danbury was the true MVP of this show, followd by Eloise. 😌
Daphne is the most annoying character and what she did to Simon was just wrong. I'm so disappointed because I wanted to like this show so much but the characters... just no
Laura Tukiainen the main two and the older brother were annoying. But the rest were okay. Lady Danbury is an absolute icon.
Yeah I don't like what she did to Simon, but I don't find her annoying lol. I actually liked her personality a lot.
In the series it wasn't as bad plus she didn't know a lot about sex and it was bound to happen on both fronts and he decided to lie to her and it felt very forcing or manipulated to me personally.
Daphne just tried to be so clever and funny that it annoyed me. And Simon didn't want to marry in the first place and yeah he lied but it wasn't as bad as daphne's actions. They were so unbelievably toxic couple that I can't understand how anyone could ship them
@@Slm99 She knew she was taking advantage of him; she says so right afterward.

*"Anne With an E is Pretty Great"*
Tbh, Anne With an E *is* awesome so we can’t really blame him. It’s the exception.
@Me We it’s okay if you don’t like it. I personally like it as a separate show and not as an adaptation because AWAE is different from the original. It’s the same characters but they put their own unique twist on it and I liked it regardless.
Awae is AWESOME😍 (or awaesome😂 okay sorry)
@Me We what's og?
I don't know if I'd exactly call Anne With and E (or Bridgerton, for that matter) an historical drama, seeing as it's not very "historically accurate" and is written in a way that feels very modern. I think it works for Anne With an E. Not so much for Bridgerton.
So many people get upset when a show isn’t historically accurate or realistic but bro your watching a show made for entertainment not an educational documentary.
💯
They should have not brought up the race relations because : it made no sense. 2: it ruins the idea that we could ever coexist without racial conflict .
@@Peayou... They literally coexisted without conflict at the time of the show. They just tried to give a brief explanation for those who needed it. I thought it was unnecessary, but it's just one little scene
@@erikperhs_ see the way they solved everything was because of one marriage. I am not sure but it's ok
@@erikperhs_ and Simon said that their coexist was hanging on by a thread tho
Fun fact: the music playing in the back during the ball was actually the classy version of thank you next.
It sounds horrible compared to real classical music.
@@lth9520 yeah it was weird
@@clarrytee81 Yes, I think they did.
There was also Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift
@@lth9520 My thoughts too
Fun fact: actual history is nothing like modern dramas
They always get the clothing wrong and try to force their modern values on the past.
I am a fun of historical romance, and i am black. I feel like including black actors just makes it weird cause they werent part of the society.
@@CeeJay254Art I think bridgerton is more of an alternate version of history.
@@CeeJay254Art It's an alternate reality, lady Danbury briefly mentions minorities shot up in society as a result of the king falling in love with and marrying the queen. Hopefully the show will elaborate on that next season.
@@nananoah2084 but there have never been black Dukes and in the novel the Duke was white. I get it. Racial representation is good. But it shouldnt apply everywhere. There are really good stories that feature black people. As another stated somewhere, black people should not hop into a culture that was practiced by whites.
I find it funny how everyone is like “it’s a mix between gossip girl and to all the boys I loved” when the Bridgertons books were published before all that 😂
Exactly! It’s like! The first book( correct me if I’m wrong) was published still in the 90’s. It’ll be more accurate to say that those shows are similar to the Bridgerton novel series, but I mean who’s keeping tabs!? 🤷🏻♀️
It's just a way of describing it to people who are unaware.
But the books are quite different from the show.
@@annakamocsai858 nooooo...not at all
I like it better than both of those lol, but I see the similarity
people take shows like these seriously? they're supposed to provide momentary escape from reality, that's it😂
Yeah it’s like some people can’t just enjoy something without some deep stuff in it.
exactly, its just entertaining. I have no interest in a "realistic" victorian england.
We NEED to talk about the way she really just totally takes advantage of him after her marriage and has her baby and never even apologizes
She did not conceive from that encounter. And they skipped ahead at least nine months to the birth of a child, which means we missed at least nine months of conversations during which she might have apologized.
@@AnitaClue it's basically sexual assault. Reverse the genders. Also SHE COULD HAVE HAD A DISCUSSION LIKE AN ADULT.
@@Peayou... I did NOT say what she did was appropriate. You would expect a 17 year old girl with zero education on these matters to have a discussion like an adult? The way Simon did when he told her exactly why it was he "couldn't" give her children? Neither of these two is a model of mature or reasonable behavior.
@@AnitaClue ok I didn't know her age but seventeen is not thaat young. She was more wrong
no we do not lmao youre not the first to address this.
What annoys me about the meet cute was that Simon was sooo oblivious to everyone that he couldn’t tell Daphne was obviously running away from Regency era Dudley Dursley. I mean seriously, she kept checking frantically over her shoulder while looking distressed, you could practically hear the jaws theme
Yeah, how full of himself must a guy be to assume that every kind of interaction with him is supposed be a scheme to get with him?
Seriously, Simon is written as a total prick and still the authors try to portray him as the desirable rake who just has to be reigned in to become a perfect husband.
Wait are you serious? I didn’t see it like that, its clearly established in the showed that some women would pretend to faint, drop something just to get a guys attention, so due to his status he should get that reaction a lot as well, and since he isn’t interested in finding a wife or dating, of course he would just ignore things like this and assume it’s a ploy, that doesn’t make him a prick, iirc he even hinted at it himself.
@@troytaylor5746 it was in plain view that Regency Dudley Dursley was shouting after her from across the room.
Pfft
"You could practically hear the jaws theme" LMFAO
You should do "Fate: The Winx Saga" next, since that was created by the same people who made "The Vampire Diaries"!
Wait really! I didnt know that!
Yes
Ah, that explains why it is bad!
Winx is so good!!
@@neby394 umm vampire diaries is amazing idk what your talking about
I hated how Daphne only decided on marrying Simon only because she's scared of how she's going to be perceived. I would've loved had she went after the Prince regardless if Cressila was going to spread rumors about her first kiss being with the Duke. Daphne clearly didn't look happy during the wedding, but everything's magically fixed because ofc love wins. Why go after a guy who pushed you away, hurt you, says he doesn't want to be married nor bear children, because he stole your first kiss? They fit better as friends and not as husband and wife
Well, actually she married him not only because of how she would've been perceived, I think she was thinking abut her sisters too, about her whole family.
Most of these female characters lack self respect so don’t be shocked
You seem to not understand how Regency society worked. A young, unmarried woman was not allowed to be alone with a man for more than about two minutes. Kissing was absolutely off limits. A girl's virtue was a very big deal, and some of the slightest things could ruin a reputation. After the make-out session in that garden Daphne would have been seen as a loose woman, which would have ruined her sisters' prospects as well as her own. Once the truth was out, even if the rumors remained unconfirmed, the Prince would have withdrawn his attentions. If you got caught allowing a man "liberties" the only thing you could possibly do to save your reputation was marry him--you'd be given a bit of leeway if people believed you were already headed to the altar when you started breaking the rules. Incredibly unfair since men could pretty much play around all they wanted to, but that's how it was.
Totally agree! I think the prince was a much better choice and I think she would have been much happier with him.
Is it just me or does everyone else think that Daphne looks more brunette (chestnut or light brown) then redhead?
Yes exactly
me too!
She's supposed to be brunette, it's how the Bridgertons are described in the book.
@@mangojuice2792 I know, but the show kinda confused me about it and a lot of people called her redhead and she looks more brunette to me.
okay.... I honestly call her blonde 😂 like, yes, dark blonde, but blonde...
I don't see anyone talking about this but I hated Daphne because of how she sexually took advantage of Simon. It was wrong on Simon's part to not tell Daphne that he did not want any children and that he was able to have children (and that it was just a matter of preference) but, that still did not give her the right to do what she did. She could have talked to him but instead she chose to take advantage of him. She made him feel so vulnerable that his stutter came back at that moment. I'm sure if the roles were reversed, there would be a lot more buzz regarding the situation. At first, I didn't have any negative feelings towards her (I didn't really care about her tbh) but that whole situation changed my outlook on her.
Agreed. This is what also put me off from reading the book. It’s almost rape; not fully due to the fact they were already having sex but she forced him to do something that he had no control over and that just did not sit right with me :/
@@brownie8876 she took advantage of him. period. just because it is fiction does not make it okay for you to deny the gravity of her actions. what she did was wrong and ignoring it could potentially harm those who have gone through similar things in real life. so get yo head out ya ass.
Very much agree.
Yeah she was so wrong for doing that. Honestly I don't really care for her character in the show. Not that I dislike it, but find her rather boring.
I wish more people would talk about this because it's super disgusting. Not to mention triggering! Her actions made her from my most favorite character to least🤢🤢
Imagine being a girl in that age and the only thing that matterd is you getting a boyfriend..... what a sorry life
Ikr sad to hear it’s still that way in a lot of places still
Honestly my mom’s friend did this with her 19 year old daughter. She trained her to pick an easy college for the purpose of husband hunting. And it actually worked, she found a decent, smart young man. As a 28-year old woman who worked my ass off to get a good job, I now resort to the dumpster fire that is dating apps and somewhat envy her :/
@@artistevivien 💀💀💀

Chinese modern comics: 👀
Eloise and Benedict are the only characters I liked in this show , their sibling relationship is ✨immaculate✨
this show is literally every historical Romance Drama manga trope - juat with no magic
Just wanted to add some insight: The show focuses more on Simon and Daphne due to it being more focused on the first book, which is Daphne’s book. The coming seasons will focus on each book (each Bridgerton).
Ohhh who is next? Cus I love Daphne and him!
@@myafield4039 Anthony.
@@ayessabooks6882 ohhh ok!
@@brycemills9773 oh definitely. It’s just like they had other storylines in the first season. But the second season will have a stronger focus on Anthony and his search for a wife.
@@myafield4039 the next book in the series is a really cool story. I've read that one multiple times.

Remember though, the book was written before gossip girl came out.
I believe someone on the trailer for this show even said that the creator of gossip girl based their idea on the Bridgerton books lmao
@@izzyrainydayz Gossip girl is based on a book too !
@@adelaidejane7192 pretty sure she’s talking about the author of the Gossip Girl books, Cecily von Ziegesar being Inspired by Bridgerton
Lol, actually the Gossip Girl series was out, first.
@@izzyrainydayz and this person didn’t think about the gossip girl books that came out, well before this series books did. Lol.
I couldnt bring myself to watch this show after realizing they glamorized rape in it. And they do it in a way that the bulk of the audience (women) think nothing of it, since the rape is done by a woman to a man (Daphne to Simon) in the scene where she forces him to inseminate her. When I first watched the scene (it should be said that I'm a woman, the context is important) it was off-putting but I couldn't put my finger on why. After watching some analyses on the show, the realization hit me like a truck. I was disturbed firstly with myself that I didn't pick up on it immediately. And it's frankly disgusting how easily they worked this scene under the radar of the bulk of its audience. Not to be a "if the roles were reversed" person, but it deserves to be said here. There's no way a scene like that would be received well or be received at all if Simon were the one doing that to Daphne, especially since they painted it in a sexualized and romanticized light. Daphne is seen as the one in the right, with Simon being the betrayer instead of being the one taken advantage of. Marital issues aside, Daphne had no right to do what she did. I can't think of the show in any positive light now.
I knew it was going to be bad the minute I saw them putting a tight laced corset on one of the characters. They wore gowns that didn't require waist cinching because they were gathered under the bust, not at the waist.

@@witchplease9695I disagree. Marina was not forced in her position, she decided to have sex and then didn't think far enough to settle things with her lover before he went to freaking war. They both decided to be oblivious to the possible consequences.
And even after it turned out that she was pregnant funny enough Marina still hat options and one of them would have been to be honest to a nice guy who deserved honesty.
Also Penelope told Marina that she wasn't fine with Marina deceiving Colin like that.
Marina could have respected that and for once she could have been this adult woman she claimed to be when she had her “I’m only honest” talk that in my opinion was more a “I’m going to belittle you into submission” talk.
So in my opinion Marina was selfish and immature here and in addition she was a very bad friend to Pen and to Colin. Sure she was afraid but being afraid does not justify everything.
Is Penelope fully mature here? No. Because she has not enough self-esteem and healthy selfishness to stand up for herself and it surely would have been better to just tell Colin like she tried before but failed. But in my opinion Marina was unnecessarily cruel and also wrong and forced Penelope's hand here.
While Penelope would have accepted a broken heart and stepped aside if Marina would have been honest with Colin.
Whats crazy tbh is I saw an interview with the author and explains at the time no one complained about the rape scene but instead had many say, “yess you go girl,” it’s truly astonishing how much time has changed and that we now hold accountable on both genders despite some still overlooked it
"Taking half an hour to undo all forty-seven buttons on your dress and bustle."
Laughs in Victorian.
"What are you doing here?" "Hiding from certain people" "People?" "Mothers"
Okay, that line was kinda funny
Its weird that there are no comments
I thought the mothers were into him for a second lol.
ikr hahaha. btw i make videos on films and shows if you’re interested!
So I’m reading the Witcher in my living room and my mom sits down and asks if she can watch her show. I was like “no prob” and she throws this thing on. As I’m reading I suddenly hear the dialogue, “when thou art alone, doth thy touch thyself??” I slowly raised my eyes to the screen and was like “did I just hear what I f**king think I heard”😂
This made my day 😂👏🏻
Did you already watch the show "the Witcher" ?😍
Aye I’m reading the Witcher too!! I’m on the Last Wish
@@christinal.2138 yeah I did!
Narrator: "the brighter a lady shines, the faster she may burn"
Meyers: "yeah that's how you find out who the witches are"
I cackled!
What I hear from everybody that watched this show(including me):
“I enjoyed it more then I thought I would”
The exact opposite for me ahah, I had such high hopes...
@@kendra1015 ah I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you find something out there that does!!!
If you are into a similar theme for this show then I would recommend “The Crown” if you haven’t watched it yet! It’s on Netflix as well
@@SilverWings_Channel thanks! My mom is watching it and is really liking it, I might try it!
@@kendra1015 Awesome! My mom is too xD what a small world! I hope you enjoy it!!!!
thats how it was for me. i normally dont really like shows like this, but i watched it all in one sitting and found that i liked it so much and now im just sat here waiting for march 25th. i was not really that fond of neither daphne nor simon, though
My mom watched it and she was so shocked at how explicit it was... And she usually isn't phased by that. I mean, she straight up told me how babies were made when I was 4.
You have a cool mom 😂
Well, it's based on Erotica novels 😂 so it was pretty clear that explicit sex was going to happen.
Has she heard ofshameless ?
She sounds like the opposite of my grandma.
She never explained to my mom what a period was so when my mother first started bleeding at school she panicked.
@@luizfelipevbf5567 Wow sounds just like the girls in this show ahahaha.
You know, just to inform: Bridgerton isn't actually a copy of Gossip Girls because the books of the series it was released before Gossip's books.
@@yukijames1321 yep, i was surprised too lol
Yup true...
no one said it was a copy of gossip girl😑
I wasn't surprised. Most TV shows and movies are based on books. Also I worked at a bookstore and I remembered seeing the Bridgerton books.
ITS LITERALLY A P*RNO the amount of times I covered myself with my blacker because my parents where watching it in the living room🙄🙄It was scary because then my parents went to their room😭I heard everything
I feel like as long as people remember that the series is based on romance novels and that its not really supposed to be historically accurate it wasn't that bad in that sense. I def had some issues with post-marital Daphne and Simon. but other than that it was decent and refreshingly light hearted in comparison to a lot of drama's that have come out recently.
Honestly I see this show as a fantasy genre, with the incorporations of diverse types of people and palates and eras of clothing I think it’s more of an aesthetic Wattpad show than anything else. And honestly it’s silly but I love it for that
The thing I don't like is, everyone who watched Bridgerton thinks they are somehow now historical accurate clothing experts and call anything historical "Bridgerton" like whattt
Karolina where u at ??😂
Ayy my best friend's name is Karolina 😂😂
do u mean karolina zebrowska?
yea and like the show cant be historically accurate anyway if the queen is black. there is no way society let black people be royalty during that time in a white-dominant society. maybe they just wanted diversity in the cast but idk...
REALLY?????
Another good video is Mina Le’s video on Bridgerton’s fashion
The beginning was good but after the marriage for the main couple, I felt like they forgot the plot and it was just sex, sex, sex and more sex. It was like okay, we get it, you like eachother get back to the plot will you! Lol! I actually was more interested in the story with the main girls older brother and the side chick he had a fling with. They said next season they will focus more on them.
That was only 1 or 2 episodes tho. They caught themselves again after that I would say. I guess they wanted to emphasize on Daphne experiencing sex for the very first time and how oblivious she was to most things even after marriage because nobody ever told her. They just kinda overshot it haha
You never obviously read the books
Hahaha true! After Simon and Daphne got married it went downhill
McCain Nope, didn’t even know there were books on it. 😂 Obviously, I was referring to the Netflix show.
@@mccain334 The books aren’t better so your point? Hahahah
When I first saw this I was like Eloise looks older then Daphne and I looked it up and she is 31.... I mean in the series she plays a teenager wtf
Regé-Jean Page is HOT
Fun fact: Penelope (the girl with ginger hair) and Eloise (Daphne’s sister) are I’m their mid 30!
Whaaat!😆
Eloise is very attractive! I love her eyes :)
I KNOW RIGHT?!?? I WAS LIKE WTH 😭😭
NO WAY. YOU LIE 😦
Well, early 30s actually (33 and 31).
My friends won’t shut up about this 😑
You have friends?I don’t even have friends
It’s hard to 😭
My fam
@@Yor795 i am on that same boat
It’s amazing 😂
I get brotherly love but, as a women, this brother is *the worst*
Agreed but they did talk about men having so much freedom but in reality men had it just as bad in other areas of life. Men got wiped out in wars. So everyone had it bad in the end. Sorry I just went on a rant about something you didn't comment about haha 😂
Noblemen didn't die in wars.
And Antony is a much better character in the book. There's multiple mentions of how he's so generous to allow his sister to make her own choice and decline multiple marriage proposals. In the real world, women definitely had it worse.
5:00 “they touch hands while they’re both reaching for the same box of Vagisil,” 😂☠️
Fun fact: The Julia Quinn Bridgerton series came out 20 years ago and Gossip Girl was inspired by it.
Do you know that Gossip girl is actually a book series as well?
@@mirton.8657 SHE’S TALKING ABOUT THE AUTHOR HAVING BEEN INSPIRED TO WRITE THE GOSSIP GIRL BOOKS YOU TWIT.
@@sillyseattlecat of course I agree that Bridgerton books came first, but gossip girl book series deal with teenagers, addiction, broken families and also (SPOILER ALERT) Gossip girl is never revealed in the books so we don't know if she is a part of the main characters.(Unlike Bridgerton tv series, when the secret person is revealed). I also don't know if Cecily von Ziegesar (author of GG) has made a statement that she was inspired by Bridgerton...So if that happened sorry I didn't know... Also with my comment I don't want to insult anyone, I just want to say that because there is a "mystery author" in both series doesn't mean that they are connected, I see them as a lot different series and tv shows.
Exactly
Oh interesting! Thank you for the fun fact!!
My mother and father are so obsessed with this I quite literally don’t see them for hours at a time
U sure it cause ofthe show
Seriously???
@@potatoish5803 💀😭
My Mom loves this show soooooo much!
@@potatoish5803 SHUSHHHH
Because of the hype, I watched the show, and it was fine--until Daphne forced herself on Simon, and it was HE who had to apologize? She didn't respect his bodily autonomy and triggered his childhood trauma, but he's the one framed as being in the wrong? Nah. I'm not cool with that.
Loved this Alex!! You’re my inspiration for commentary videos and I just did my first one for Bridgestone first ep!😊 just wanna say thank you for being hilarious and an inspo! Your content always has me dying of laughter and I always look forward to it!
I think it’s funny that when something becomes popular, people say it’s “overrated.” There is nothing wrong with liking something that a lot of other people like😑😑
@Music & Whistle msk That's not the original meaning, but some people seem to label certain shows "overrated" purely because so many people seem to like and talk about it.
But the show is overrated. There’s nothing special about it.
YESSS THANK YOU
Wel I guess no one would call an unpopular show “overrated”
@@meemr1479 wtf do you know what should be popular? Are you reaching?

They are! We signed a petition and Netflix agreed to renew it!!

Good thing in the title he calls it kinda dumb and not why I hate the show.
@@zomgkb Except for Cobra Kai
I did like the show but I understand why he did it
I mean, you can think a show is dumb and still like it
For me,Eloise's and Anthony's side of story is more interesting than Daphne's
For me, watching the show I was not interested in Anthony but when I read the BOOK and they introduced KS I was like SOLD! Her character is soo good. I hope they don't screw up and cast her well for S2. Ps to me the most interesting books are because of their love interests tbh
Anthony's Francesca's and Benedict's stand out.
I thought Eloise and Penelope were going to end up making out or something. There was definitely chemistry there.
@@lyndyb88 really? I just see them as really good friends.
@@gabx0729 Francesca's book is wonderful! I never imagined I would enjoy her book more than the others, but here I am, in love with her and MS.
@@babifernandes9906 agree!! I love book Frannie and MS soooo much!! Her and Kate + Sophie are my super powerful girls 💕 BEST of all
I can't remember the name of the mother with the badly dressed children, but to a degree, I get her. She's operating in a time period where getting married means everything. Though it seemed cruel to pretend to be the girl's lover in a letter, she was legit trying to make sure that girl did not end up on the streets because she was pregnant out of wedlock which could ruin a woman at that time as well as the family name. Then dealing with a husband who was completely incompetent she didn't even love, but did her duty anyway.
I love your videos Alex, but this one actually had me laughing out loud. You're humor is getting even better :) Thanks for putting out the awesome content
Everyone’s like “all my friends wont stop talking about this show” and that just told me (who’s never heard of Bridgerton) that I have no friends in 7 different languages
Ay, wey.
samesame
Yeah, one of my friends hasn't stopped talking about it on her Instagram, and keeps posting thristy pics of the duke, like have some pride you're 23 years old
“Daphne has a body pillow for every BTS member.”

omgosh that was the best part!! they had bad guy in classical music in the background 😂 when I heard It my respect for the show went way up
i cant stop staring at how weird the baby hairs shaped like inverted horns look. help
I don't think baby hair I think it was her super short bangs sticking out
Pride and prejudice mixed with gossip girl is exactly how I describe this show to my mum when we first watched it
lol same
whatever you do, DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW WITH YOUR MOM!!!!!
@@jiah7670 I just left the room to avoid the awkwardness whenever those scenes came on
Lol there’s an actual book series literally a copy and print of gossip girl and Pride and Prejudice, they should’ve made that into this.
It's unfair to Pride and Prejudice IMO🤷
“I drink it so I won’t die.” “You know, maybe dying isn’t so bad after all.” 🤣
That one hurt.
Noooo
So the thing about "Bridgeton" a lot of people are still very much unaware of is that is a book series of eight books all about eight different siblings and how they all fall in love during the regency period and I read this when I was in Middle School! Saying that much you have to be aware of it when you start watching the series that it's a book beforehand it's not going to be how you expect a series to go because they're basing a lot of it on the actual book, which in a way, was indeed silly.... But fun if you like passionate romance.
My parents had a little bit of a meetcute. They sat next to each other on the bus, found out they were from neighboring cities, got married 5 months later, been together 28 years.
Why is no one talking about the
trigger warning
rape scene, Daphne rapes the duke and yet I've not seen a single person talk about this yet. I haven't watched this video yet so I'm hoping it will different
Yeah I remember.... That scene was wild in a bad way....
She rapes him... and they have a fairytale end. I found this plot so so so wrong in so many ways.
Exactly! This scene was really disturbing...
THANK YOU I've never seen anyone else talk about this without brushing it off as nothing. Raping men is still rape!
@Madison DeAngelis-Monnet no no she raped him
it’s like Simon and Daphne making love more than talking to each other
It was getting a bit redundant for me after the first 3 times. I was interested in how they planned on rebuilding the town after returning. But hey ya know sex sells.
@@Japaneseyt it would not have been a successful show if they did not show those scenes which is kind of ridiculous to me
I do agree with you BUT let MY BABIES enjoy themselves 🥺
Loved the comparisons to other shows here! :D
Alex's imitation of simon's english accent killed me 😂😂😂
Now he's done Bridgerton, he has to do Reign.
Yess
Yesssssssss
Yesssssssss
A thousand times yesssssssss
Most definitely.
Reign is one of the worst shows ever. Bridgerton is very obviously not accurate when it comes to history and that‘s okay. But Reign actually is about people who really existed...
Yes! Yes!
i really didnt like how they failed to touch upon the rape scene- I would say it is rape, but that's just my opinion. they still want us to root for daphne afterwards. just my thoughts.
OMG yes! I hated that part! I was just yelling at the screen the rest of the season "No, that was rape! This character is an awful person! Netflix should feel like garbage because after the rape was a lot of victim blaming." My husband became increasingly more concerned with what I was watching. " What are you watching!? Who rape who, what? Honey, are you okay? Do I need to make the bad TV go away?"
It was just so uncomfortable to watch. I heard it’s even more descriptive in the first book of the book series. Luckily I knew it was coming before I watched it so it wasn’t so shocking, but like why did they have to leave that part in if they were trying to adapt the book series into a tv show? Couldn’t they have Daphne just confront Simon about it instead? Like the tv show would have still made sense without it 🤷♀️
That scene made me look at Daphne completely different
Yes!!! The weight of her wrongdoing was never even mentioned in the show! I do think though that their entire relationship is so problematic and no argument is ever really solved, they just hop in bed and that's that. I understand that they left it in for the potential pregnancy storyline but it should've been handled better. Their relationship is so off but I guess that's what you get when you marry after knowing the other person for like a month.
@The Positive Corner daphne raped the duke, at least imo. Some people are saying it’s not rape, I say it is. But each to their own.
"No one actually meets that way" so like i litteraly bumped into my ex and that how we met. Am i in a tv show?
Wow I haven’t seen the whole video yet but the opening clip is just so colorful! The clothes, the sky... I feel like a lot of period dramas in England 1800’s are usually drab and grey because it’s more accurate lol.
I love how riverdale has been out for a week and he just can’t be fucked even looking at it
He's writing the next song. These things take time, particularly since he set the bar so high with Archie's Abs.
You should do this new show that just came out on Netflix, it’s called Fate: The Winx Saga. I think it’s right up your alley!
