Good review. Props for actually watching Bridgerton for a better understanding of the episode, I can't imagine it was worth it but that's definitely some dedication. Definitely had similar feelings regarding this episode. This episode feels a lot like just a vehicle to have the Doctor kiss a man onscreen. And there's nothing wrong with that, but they were so eager to make it happen it didn't feel natural by the end, glad I wasn't alone feeling like they were speedrunning the relationship. I can't get over that the whole motivation of the villains is being influenced by television from a future time so I guess they came back in time to mess with the setting. It's so stupid and not in the fun kind of way, in the 'weak excuse' kind of way. Also I can't be the only one FUMING that they were willing to licsense a Kylie song for a throwaway joke in this episode but didn't get any Beetles music for the bloody Beetles episode, surely? And at this point, Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor cries more than Toby Macguire's Spider-Man, it REALLY feels like they're trying to stress and show what an emotional actor he is and it almost always comes across as forced.
