I can't believe how quickly Colin went from "I never saw Pen other than a friend" to hooking up in the carriage and proposing ! And it all shifted because of a random kiss ? It felt so rushed I'm very disappointed..
Probably in part 2 we will focus on the Whistledown story, I hope it will save the part 1. I can't wait to see more of the Francesca and Kilmartin romance though, at least that was well done!
@@Chubby-cat- The Polin storytime is felt very rushed, but after what they did in the carriage, in this, era, if he did not ask her to marry him that would have been inappropriate. COlin has a strong sense of responsibility (in season 1 her wanted to marry just because a poor girl was pregnant because he felt bad for her basically), so it would have been weird for him not to ask her hand. I guess they needed to wrap this part of the story real quick before part 2...but I would have loved more development. The tension in season 2 was everything and this felt a bit short.
I think if we had more scenes of Colin having dreams about Penelope, it would be better to show the change from friends to lovers, Like him having dreams about their childhood, moments of connection and maybe some spicy dreams too 👀👀 kk so the scene where he says he sleeps to find her would be more impactful
I think that before Collin and Penelope get married he will find out about lady whistle down, there will be some big drama but they will get married and she will get pregnant, also hopefully it talks about him wanting to be a writer idk if the whole town will find out who she is though like the books. Francesca is going to move away, with John Sterling at the end after some drama with Queen Charlotte, Violette is going to move to the country and get married to Lady Danberrys husband or at least move. Because it's setting up for Eloise and bennadicts' love story's cuz there both in the country, I even think next season could be both of their season, and then after that, Francescas. Anthony and the vicountess are going to take over Bridgerton house next season as well as be pregnant.
Honestly I don't think the first four episodes were strong enough to brake it up into two parts. They should've just given us the whole season because it was very lackluster and it felt rushed
It should of ended more with the kiss or Colin realizing his feelings.
Its starting to feel way too Woke like 2021 Woke. Reminds me too much of the Covid lock down days
Agree
But you can’t say it feels rushed if you haven’t seen the rest of the story. It might be right where it needs to be.
I dont think it felt rushed. It just felt so boring.
Penelope asking for a kiss was gangsta. That girl knows exactly what she doing
It was sad…..and kinda pathetic, he kisses her in pity and is shocked that he liked it…..at least they kept that from the books……she wasn’t being manipulative at all….she truly had lost hope for any chance to be loved😢
@@ladycharlotte8693 she shots her shot and made it that’s a girl
An woman who ask for what she want, Well done Penelope, so courageous in that context. I love the inconfortable moment under the weeping willow, mix with desire and pretending to not be hurt on both side. The distance finishing by Colin alone. Bravo !
It’s obvious you didn’t understand her character. The book also confirms, she was just devastated that she will be a spinster and may never experience love and a physical connection.
i honestly thought that something would happen in the middle of it - like someone would interrupt or something
I like that Debling was disappointed but ultimately did what was best for himself, was direct but kind, and basically tells her she deserves the kind of love she craves
I love how Lemonade got bumped up to main character in S3! So much lemonade.
🍋
😆😆😆 shall we discuss the lemonade over more lemonade 😂😂😂
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 I thought so too! 🍋 🍋 🍋
See... THIS is the reason why I rush back to youtube- for comments like this! 👏🏼
Not the lemonade lol
I feel like there was some drama over thinking under-21s were drinking alcohol so the script was revised to scream LEMONADE repeatedly lol
I feel that Colin didn’t court Penelope. He just comes to the realization that he wants to be with her. She already loves him, so he didn’t have to try that hard.
Exactly. Like he’s never even called on her.
For real
He said he'll never ever court Penelope. So he's a man of his word. Just like Anthony who never courted Kate and they are married.
I feel like people who aren't invested in the Polin ship at the beginning of the show won't like season three because their relationship has slowly evolved over the seasons, so if they skipped over those parts during seasons 1-2 so they can get to the main plot, season three is going to feel lackluster cause they haven't been invested in the developed friendship and drama between the Colin and Pen . But those fans who watch seasons one - three (part 1) in one sitting will understand the development from all the seasons that lead up to this point. Of course, fans of the books get more background and more insight into the character's feelings. But as a person who has read "Romancing Mr. Brigerton," I really love the show's writers' take on it cause it feels more realistic compared to the book, which is very fanfic-y to me. Also, I feel like they HAD to give the characters space to realize what they want and give more depth to the romantic feelings, and inserting other love stories and subplots was the best move on their part.
I totally agree with you as person who shipped them from the very beginning I really like the way the both of them are understanding their feelings.....I saw someone say that it a bit rushed up but if they have noticed the affection bw them I am sure they would have had a different view at the story
Exactly
I agree, I’ve watched all up to this point and I think it’s a good transition, and I think they give enough to keep it going, and not giving it too much to where it’s over the top to the point to not loose interest.
Yess exactly. This is why I rewatched the first two season before I watched this part 1 is season 3 to pay more attention to Pen n Colin
YES! NOW LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
We needed Colin to grovel more😂
I mean I'm not disagreeing but he became a runner and a track star as he chased the moving carriage. He was out of breath
You mixing the brothers, Anthony is the grovel type 😅
I agree, it was too easy for him…..the love scene was weird too….facing away and not being close….awkward…..he treated her like a whore…..
@@phoenixxt727 ok! 🤣🤣 I thought he was going to grab his horse and chase her but nope lol
Yesss
I wanted more remorse and suffering for Colin. We have watched two seasons of Penelope pining for him and it broke my heart. When he made that comment at the end of S2, I was calling him a man child. I want her to be romanced and treated like a queen!!!!!!!!!
SAME! I wanted her to be courted by Lord Debbling a bit longer. He was so sweet and kind to her!!❤ I wanted to see Colin being jealous for longer, and I wanted him to have to work harder to get Pen back.
Why? She ruins peoples lives and badmouths everyone
@@iamnotjack.whydidichange That is a good question. I never said I liked that part of the story, but I interpreted some of her actions as desperation. As much as we romance that time period, women had specific roles in society, and were very limited in what kind of future they had. Her family is willing to do horrible actions, trapping a man, to guarantee a certain quality of life. Women are described as gossips so when that was one thing she had, loved to write, and turned it into a business - I was impressed by that. No one expects that of her and she was trying to have some type of control on her own life. So if her family just burned the future to the ground, she would be able to take care of herself. She even says no one sees her and her self-esteem was so low that she couldn't depend on marriage or the possibility of finding love. She had to make her own options so I think, with no one to truly talk to, she made decisions thinking those were her only options. I hope to see some healing for her so she realizes her worth isn't defined by people who don't care about her, and she, in a way, saves herself. I think she wants to be a good person but good people can still make bad decisions. Even her Mom is all business and struggles to give her comfort - so annoying.
Sorry I wrote a book of a response. lol This is why I love reading though. Books are the best and I responded based off the character they are showing in the show. That was such a good question too.
@@RPGMelodySageTHIS. I feel for Penelope. She doesn't like how her gossiping affects people, but it's the only control she has over anything. And there's been times she's tried to give it up, but it's all she really had especially after Eloise stopped being her friend. We also can't forget she only wrote about Eloise because she needed the queen to know it wasn't her best friend.
I'm liking Season 3 so far. Penelope and Colin are very sweet and played the tension just right. Surprisingly I also enjoyed the Eloise/Cressida/Pen of it all. We'll see if my opinion changes in Part 2.
I could do with less of the heavy breathing in all these couples. Yeh I get it makes for a good show but I can’t stand anyone heavy breathing even if it’s acting.
@@mrknight7957😂😂😂😂😂
I am really enjoying seeing another side to Cressida… maybe she isn’t so bad after all!
Polin relationship progress felt a tad bit rushed. Though still nice. Francesca love story was cute but what grabbed my attention most was Eloise& Cressida. Especially Cressida character depth this season was refreshing and made me ship her with Lord Debling. Benedict storyline was totally unnecessary.
Agreed - I really liked seeing Cressida's softer side!
I actually enjoyed every other side storyline far more than Colin and Penelopes, lol.
I hope in part 2 Cressida realises she just needs to be herself and stop pretending to like things or act a certain way to find a husband.
I agree. Cressida’s development was great to watch. We got to see why she is the way she is 👍🏼
It showed us too that Eloise still care's about Penelope, when Cressida is mean to her. Peneloise forever❤❤❤
I loved seeing Cressida’s development!
Personally I love season 3. I love Colin and Penelope, their ❤chemistry is out of the charts. Love love them
there is no chemistry, their acting doesn't work together. it was honestly boring
I think they were overacting...especially the hot scenes in the carriage they way she ran her fingers in his hair...just felt off
Yeah I think she had more chemistry with the nature guy than Colin I saw a little more there. My only concern with him is he.would have been gone a lot and Penelope would have been left by herself while he traveled
@@ruthinmars i agree. I was actually rooting for him and Penelope more than Colin and Penelope to be honest.
Yes they have major chemistry
I think if we had more scenes of Colin having dreams about Penelope, it would be better to show the change from friends to lovers, Like him having dreams about their childhood, moments of connection and maybe some spicy dreams too 👀👀 kk so the scene where he says he sleeps to find her would be more impactful
YES!! Give the audience a peak into his journey.
I think you're right, and they should have used the menage scenes to do that! I thought those were so out of character!
It’s a bit disappointing regarding how long they made us wait. I think they should have narrowed in on just Colin (his backstory) and Penelope so by ep4 their carriage scene feels earned.
Idk i think since I've been invested in polin since the very season 1, the carriage scene in s3 really paid off
@@Kaastengels I didnt like the fact that colin was being intimate with other women even though he was supposedly head over heels in love with penelope
@@RebelReineyeah, that's what I thought too.. when I saw those scenes... Like i loveeee the polin but still he does not seem like that he is head over heels for her... Because even in episode 2 of season 3 he was having sex with other girls... So yeah there are very small loopholes
@@RebelReinethough it's fiction, let's be real. None of the men in these stories ever have just one sexual experience. Even the beloved duke and viscount were regulars at the brothel. Also.. who wants to see two awkward virgins go at it? Somebody has to know what they're doing😂
@@RebelReinehe’s a rake
the last part will be him realizing her true identity and it will cause a fight and they will break it up but then get back together in the last second.... bet my butt on it.
At this point it feels mean that they wouldn't give us 10 or 12 episodes, we waited long enough.
I agree! Plus it interrupts the flow of the romance. I've seen a lot of people say they were disappointed or wanted more of Polin. While that might be partly because their romance started season 1, it might also have to do with the fact the season is NOT done yet. Typically, we get the full story and right now we've only got half.
I hope season two focuses more on Polin instead of Benedict or the Mondrich storyline
@@allie7726 true! But i also think the long wait and all drove expectations sky high. And their clearly is enough story to make at least 10 episodes and actually give us more for the long wait
There are 8 episodes per season and yes they should have given us all of season 3 together. Agree!
I didnt like the fact that colin was being intimate with other women even though he was supposedly head over heels in love with penelope, even a day before he proposed. Besides, I have waited for colin-penelope relationship from the first season, all these years penelope pined for him, yet I didnt see enough pining or jealousy from Colin's end. It was kind of disappointing
i liked that scene because it was a clear contrast with the beginning of the season (where he was into other girls) and in this second scene, he realises that he does not like this anymore because of what he felt for Pen. It was a nice contrast about his evolution as a character and I think we would have seen more if the TV show did not focus on so many other side story (most of them not that interesting).
Ikr collin is supposed to be sweet and innocent..i thought pen would be his first kiss..I'm soo disappointed
..they ruined sweet polin for
me..there was no build up or
chemistry and Collins facial
expressions were too cringey
especially when she put her
fingers in his hair..l got scared
by his expressions .it was
filled with lust and not love
@@farheenfatima3269yeah, I think the point of that was that Colin starts seeing Pen as a WOMAN, not just a friend, so he was very lusty, because it was a sudden realization. I agree though, Pen is a better actor than Colin 😜
Same. He became a philanderer and she deserves better.
Agreed, it doesn’t feel like actual love, just lust. If he did, he would have mentioned the years they spent exchanging letters. Instead it was like “you kissed me so I love you now.” For a guy who has apparently shagged his way through Europe, he’s a bit of a virgin
Honestly? It’s not that bad. But I feel like the only reason for that is because of how well the actors act and because of the themes portrayed in the characters’ dresses and looks.
The storylines that fans wanted most was of Polin, Eloise and Penelope and phases of Kathony honeymoon
Instead we got a lot of Francesca, Benedict and even the Mondrichs
I don’t understand what was the need of not making Polin interact after their kiss and then just suddenly moving on to a proposal
Unlike season 2, I didn’t feel the same amount of excitement and I felt like I wasn’t rooting for the ship enough. With Kathony, their dynamic, interactions and chemistry was just unmatched. It was perfect, nothing seemed rushed and random.
But I still loved the new season. It was good. It just doesn’t seem like something we waited for this long and doesn’t match to the brilliance of season 2.
And obviously, I love Polin. Expecting more for part 2!
In the book he discover that she is lady wiseldown befor he falls in love
I agree. Kanthany had great bantering in season 2. I was mostly interested In polin & Eloise s3 storylines. Mondritch, benedict & Featherington storylines were yawn. 🤞🏼 hopefully part 2 is better. Episodes were a little long as well… I’d shoot for around 50 minutes per episode
I don't understand why they spend any time on the Mondrich story line.. it just felt boring and long and it took time away from Polin or any other couple 😢
i agree, i’m hoping we get more out of part 2 to change my mind
I agree with everything in this post. Why are we seeing anything about the Mondritch couple? Very boring there. I expected a more drawn out love story with Polin. I realize they have been friends since season one but it's not a romance. They have a strong friendship with only feelings going one way. I wanted to see him fall in love with her more maybe even give her more of those "lessons" allowing them to have more interaction. But I did enjoy the show and can't wait for part two. Maybe it will change how I feel about part one 🤷
They should’ve focus only on Colin and Penelope’s story I have to
Agree
Benedict is so irrelevant at this point
Francesca we could’ve waited
Both Francescas and Benedicts love story's have a few years build up before actually happen, you can't really understand what there doing with these characters if you haven't read the books, it really makes the show seam not as good. But if you'd read even a summary of the books you'd understand.
Believe me, as a person who happens to have read the books, it makes all the sense that Francesca's love story is this season. I understand that for now, if you haven't read the books do not get it but at the end i will all makes sense.
@@kaygates4224I think Benedict’s book has many similarities with the typical Cinderella storyline. And we’ve had SO many Cinderella movies over the years
I am scared Eloise will wreck it by telling Colin who Penelope is
I hope she does he needs to know who she really is the real her
Oh she is definitely going to. My money is on it.
He will find out. That's why part 1 ended this way. It's probably going to be similar to season 1 where they establish their relationship, have a falling out, and come back together in the end
I hope she tells him herself before she is exposed.
@@cupcakegirlpoweredits9732 Disagree. I think it'll be more like in the book and he's gonna be wow'ed by her, tho she is completely panicking. Nothin is gonna break this built up relationship. If I remember correctly tho he found out in the carriage scene, I think
Honestly, I felt that Polin didn’t get enough screen time and it came across as though the only reason he proposed was because he enjoyed the kiss, to me. It feels as though he’s kind of (and I’m sorry🤷🏾♀️) operating out of lust.
The carriage scene was slightly overhyped and came kind of early in my opinion. Or rather, it felt undeserved. Also the confession… I’m sorry it didn’t hit the way it was meant to.
I received more Lord Debling and Penelope content, yet it’s Polin season. Idk. Too many side plots that felt unnecessary like Benedict and Lady Tilly, Lady Danbury’s brother and Violet Bridgerton and last, Francesca. Their storylines are good and worthy of being told but I feel like right now wasn’t the time to tell them as extensively.
I really hope part 2 has us see WHO Colin is. WHY his sentiments towards Penelope have changed other than the kiss yk? Plus I needed more groveling from Colin and more lessons which would’ve led them to at least explore more of Colin’s journals and his “purpose”.
Also… proper felt rushed.
However, love the cast, love Polin’s acting. I feel like there’s chemistry. Just need more of them honestly. Can’t believe I have to wait a month!!!
I legit could NOT agree more. Well said 👏🏾
I didn't enjoy any of it. There was no chemistry and it felt forced.
I was actually beginning to cringe with their scenes, and not feel excitement or happiness like with previous seasons.
Everything you said yessss
I agree!!!!! I fast forwarded on some Featherington scenes. Francesca scenes seemed to drag. Benedict’s scenes were like “been there done that” I think we need a change of pace if bridgerton writers do another 4 seasons.
omg yesss AND ALSO THE MONRICHS like what was the purpose of all that like i didnt truly get it we had a lot of subplots and the monrichs was just, im sorry, wasting more screentime for polin to develop further
also i agree I NEED COLIN TO GROVEL MORE I NEED HIM ON HIS KNEES
I loved it. I watched all 4 episodes at work. I couldn’t wait! Now, it sucks that you have to wait for part 2
Oh dear my Bridgerton friend, you shall have to watch it again and again before June 13th.❤❤❤❤
@stacik2636 love that you watched at work!😂
@stacik2636 I want your job.
Yooo, that BBC joke was insane😂😂
FR LMFAOOOO
I never knew BBC stood for beautiful boundless connection. I always thought it was a british news station..
Oh yeah and big black clock
I was LMFAO so hard at that. YOOOOOOO
Literally cackled when he said it 🤣
I think they shouldve stuck to the book. Like colin was interested in pen since they were children.. not just after the kiss.
Totally agree. I am a true Bridgeton Book series fan. These 4 eps left me highly frustrated. John Stiling in the TV series DOES NOT enthrall me in believing that he is a braw Scotsman ( and this has nothing to do with skin tone but body build). John and his cousin Michael are supposed to be similar in size , strong young Scotsmen.
I agree. It’s very unrealistic to have NO interest in someone just a year before (and making that clear to your friends) and then suddenly, ONE single kiss changes it. It would have been better if Colin was growing feelings BEFORE the kiss
1. No one can outdo Kantony ! They were just perfect.
2. Penelope didn't have to come across as being so unsteady and awkward. It is Cressidas third season and she looks so much more confident in comparison. And this is Lady Whistledown we are talking about, not just Penelope!
3. Colin needs to stop making weird faces. He needs to soften those lovers' gazes. Too intense and honestly, he isn't even looking at Pen to convey anything.
4. The featheringtons aren't interesting this season. They haven't given mama bear much spice.
5. While I like how shy or reserved Francesca is, she won over the queen quite easily with a pianoforte?
6. Eloise and Cressida seem strangely paired up. Eloise can clearly see on multiple occasions how Cressida is a farce faced woman, yet she is rather too kind to keep that friendship in place because she is too cross with Pen?
7. Benedict is my least fav main character as of now. He just smiles and falls for the ecentric woman every season. His dreamy smile is repetitive now.
8. Mama bridgerton seems like last season. Loving, reassuring and reasonable!
9. The queen has no zeal to unmask Lady Whistledown?? Why ?!
10. I get the Mondrich plot. New money will mess with their life.
Kate and Anthony are definitely the top tier and I don't think anything or anyone will top it.
Acting and chemistry from both parties was absolutely perfect and sadly the acting and chemistry with Colin and Penelope was somewhat lacklustre
I agree!!! One thing though- I liked cressida’s development. We see why she is the way she is (her parents) and I liked how she chose not to spread gossip when she had the chance.
I dont even know what Mondrich is still doing in the series tbh. And I think Francesca is unlike herself, at least from previous seasons. She seemed much more open before. She is soooooo boring. And it has nothing to do with being shy, Penelope is also shy, but has more depth. But with Francesca, theres like nothing there. She is so empty. I agree that she impressed the queen way too easily
Francesca was set up by Lady Danbury. She didn't have a hand in the 'accidental' discovery.
Agree 100%! Kathony will forever be the bane of my existence
Season 3 wasn’t that good. Something is off, they focused too much on other characters rather than Colin and Penelope. They needed more scenes and moments together. The chemistry wasn’t really there too.. I mean Anthony in s2 was on fire.
They also change the show runner
I agree and what's with the side character storylines like the bar owners . No one asked for it . Colin's love declaration wasn't as powerful as the first 3 seasons.
@@siege824s8shows need to stop changing showrunners mid seasons! This happen when one of my favourite shows YOU. They got a new show runner for season 4 and that season was awful and so different to the others
it was nice to watch but as a romantic myself, I would have written this part differently, I expected more connection, passion, self-discovery, fight for love, more expression of love and feelings, make the characters worthy of each other.
I didn't like Colin's portrayal as going to prostitutes and having threesomes, nor the 'steamy' carriage sequence and I felt everything else rushed too..My focus went on Francesa and her young love for the new Earl, rather than focusing on Penelope and Colin. I thought of Colin and Penelope as pure young people, saving themselves for love and marriage, different from the rest of the couples within the old times society, they cherished their friendship, trusted and respected each other. changing a character's personality, considering that Colin's one was very well established, it made him look like a totally different person. give this couple their personality and dignity back.
I prefer to see their love gradually developing, discovering the feelings they have for each other, especially his feelings for her and what she means to him and what they have in common, rather than pushing quickly with intimate sexual moments. Sadly, the script didn't make their bond and connection convincing and genuine. I prefer less sexual scenes between them and seeing more talk, more love, what do they expect from their future together, to see them chatting more before touching each other in a sexy desire way.
I wanted to understand what actually brought them closer, how he remembered their history together, how their friendship started, how it progressed, how he sees her after all these years, did he realise that she had feelings for him before? if yes, when? we didn't see that on the screen. he should have found out somehow that she loved him all these years, reason to love and adore her more, this is a reason for marriage. before he wants her physically, what does he actually feel for her? can we see Penelope through his eyes and what does she mean to him as a woman, what does he like about her personality? for these people true and honest untainted love was their life purpose, that's why pushing this couple so quickly into sexual scenes kills their chemistry and love story.
I actually think they lacked chemistry because of the script, although they look nice together on screen. I also think, given these 2 people, there was so much potential to articulate their love, I would have never thought that while Penelope was older and mature, she was still innocent, virgin and introvert and would not allow him to touch her so soon, make him wait, make him wait more, be worthy and desire her truly. Given his personality, I thought that he would not want to be inappropriate with her, not until their feelings are clear and they grow closer to discover each other. these were very good old friends and one expects that they would firstly discover who is the other person when they are not in a friendship relationship before moving on to the next step. firstly, he must deserve her and secondly, she must be convinced that Colin actually has fallen in love with her...can someone rectify their love story in the second part of season 3?
I feel like they didn't trust that people would be that invested in Pene and Colin, so they had to throw in all the other relationships and love scenes.
I didn't really love part 1. Penelope came off really pathetic. I didn't like that she said she wanted to be more than friends. I felt like he should have laid it on thick at that point . He should have said that to her
Edit (21 hrs later) - I didn't like their Makeout scene in the carriage. It was reminiscent of how he was with the sex workers. Remember this is a period where a woman's honor to be preserved. I felt Penelope deserved a super romantic and beautiful moment with him as their first interaction.
I agree, she's not just a cheap thrill, she deserves more than a car make out sesh and proposal.

@@Julie-hf4ch respectfully, your version of how you want things to happen is boring LOL I’m not sitting around for 8 episodes to hear about each others growth and feelings. This is Bridgerton. Every story has some level of angst and sexual tension/release. You knew that from Season 1. If you don’t want to be scandalized perhaps watching Emma or The Importance of Being Earnest is more your speed. 🤷🏽♀️
I'm a Polin fan and I have to said against my will, that I'm a little bit disapointed, not enough space for Colin's flash wanting Penelope (like Kantony) althought the fast revealed was true to the book. Missing Colin's torture moments of wanting her (like in his dream), feels rush. After 2 years of waiting, plus another 28 days to wait for the part 2, Netflix you pull the string too much at my taste.
Does it feel...rushed? A bit...
Maybe cos they still want to talk about Francesca and maybe Collin was still going to find out she is lady whistledown and they still want Debling to marry lady Cowper
All that waiting to see a bunch of underwhelming new characters because the season will only 8 episodes.
I think 10 episodes would have allowed for more character development.
Not enough Colin and Penelope or Anthony and Kate. Hopefully part two will fix that.
I suspect that part two may have alternate outcomes that could be used depending upon how part 1 is received.
Cate n Anthony's story is over they're not going to get alot of screen time much like Daphne in s2
Whilst I did enjoy it, I was disappointed that there was not really a lot of Penelope and Colin together, they kissed and then just stopped interacting??? It felt lacking in that, also where was the tension, I also expected a lot of work on his end to earn her back. There was so much Benedict and the blonde for no reason, and Colin and those two girls as if that’s what we wanted, yeah… or just unnecessary side plots. Give us Penelope and Colin, that’s who we came for. Also the pacing was fast. Having seen the ending for part one, now more then ever I really can’t understand the need to break it up into two parts, but I still can’t wait for part 2
I just want the part two already!! Uhh do we really have to wait a whole month! IT'S A SCANDAL!!
They made us wait so long I thought S3 would top or be as good as S2🙈 love the series but everything seems rushed. Especially Benedict and Franchescas side stories. There’s so much going on that it’s hard to build the chemistry between the characters. Like the new characters are so boring, Unlike season 2 they invested time into the sharma sisters so it was enjoyable.
Ikr and everything soo soo hyped up I thought season 3 would be the best..but all the scenes were already in the promos..nothing new was there to see..I'm soo disappointed
@@farheenfatima3269 yeah I was suprised when back to back scenes from the trailer were popping up. I assume they will have a new trailer/teaser for Part 2 tho. Hopefully it makes up for part1
I have watched the 4 episodes already and whilst I liked it. It does spend far too much time to other characters and not the main two characters for this season of the show. Francesca is a few books down the line so why give her a mention. Benedict I get because it’s building up to his season. The other characters should not play a huge part but seem to overshadow the main characters here. Love the costumes and the music choices. I hope the second part picks up and concentrates on the main characters and not everyone else.
They are building up for Francescas season as well. In the books she is like the second or 3rd to Marry and then moves away, there just trying to set her up for the future and kind of get it out of the way.
I agree, it feels like Polin is a side story, they are so many characters and we follow them so much, it gets a bit frustrating and I ended up skipping a few scenes.
@@jessicajessica4392 Yeah I wish netflix would have given them a few more episodes to work with this season considering how big of a show it is. And that there setting up at least 3 characters romantically for the future
If you read Francesca's book you will understand why they needed to introduce her sub plot in the show
I was expecting more with lord Debling & Penelope from what we were given from the teaser & trailers we’d been given, but him leaving at the end of the 4th episode was disappointing. I did like the adding of Francesca love triangle.
I was disappointed too. I was expecting Penelope to be emotionally tempted. It felt completely forced and it would have been better for Cressida to have been his choice because her mucking it up would have been a good point where her character starts to make better decisions. ❤ 8:07
The actors of Anthony and Kate have set the standards so high that it’s difficult to match up. I was way more excited to watch Francesca and John tbh. But I am hoping there will be improvement as there are 4 more episodes left.
Francesca and John is endgame
She'll marry someone called Michael
@@Love-gx8ul Yes I read the book, it's John's cousin, Michael Stirling, John has an aneurysm. Despite that, John and Francesca's chemistry felt like the books.
@@Love-gx8ulyou got it backwards. She will marry John and will be happy while it lasts. Her Endgame is with his cousin Michael.
@@lejeanmesser5669 nope you're wrong. She will marry John and he dies from brain aneurysm. Then she'll marry his cousin Michael stirling
Francheska is my favorite book i love that we get her chemistry with john
To love is to be known
i fking grew attachment to cressida, her character development is so good 😭
I wish the series had more episodes in a season. There are a lot of complex stories in the books, and it is difficult to get the same intensity in only 8 episodes. I have enjoyed the other seasons and can't wait for june to see how this one concludes.
Yes, I agree. At least 10 episodes per season would be perfect. ❤
Nothing will beat season 2.
naa season 2 was utter crap.
I disagree
Ssason 2 is a flop
Season 1 is the best. Season 2 was frustrating. Also knowing Anthony is gay in real life is not helpful. 🥺
I actually liked season 2 more than season 1 but mostly because I didn’t really care for Daphne….Anthony is more my style ❤
Dearest gentle reader,
Some may quip, that the details revealed thus far, in the drama unfolding in the ton is rather lack luster. Some may even despair at the lack of groveling by one Mr. Colin Bridgerton towards Ms. Penelope Featherinton.
Be that as it may, it has come to this authors attention that the best is yet to come.
Whispers have revealed that a former cruel adversary was cut off financially by her frustrated lord father for not being able to secure a marriage for a third straight season.
In what can be only described as a desperate last ditch effort to lay claim to a recent £5000 bounty offered by her majesty, she has chosen to abandon her new more gentile image and revert back to the back stabbing bully she's always been.
She's attempted to blackmail others in an effort to reveal this authors identity. What she's failed to realize, however, is above all else, Love conquers ALL.
~Lady Whisteldown
Why didn’t they let Penelope shine alone?
Shes not a bridgerton. At least, not yet. And the series is called Bridgerton, so...
I wish there was more time spent on Lord Debbling courting Pen. She deserves all the kindness and sweetness he treats her with!! I wanted Colin to spend more time jelous & to have to work harder to get her back.
I overall have loved the season so far, especially since I rewatched seasons 1&2 beforehand so that helped build up the tension before season 3 started.
it was nice to watch but as a romantic myself, I would have written this part differently, I expected more connection, passion, self-discovery, jelousy, fight for love, more expression of love and feelings, make the characters worthy of each other.
I didn't like Colin's portrayal as going to prostitutes and having threesomes, nor the 'steamy' carriage sequence and I felt everything else rushed too..My focus went on Francesa and her young love for the new Earl, rather than focusing on Penelope and Colin. I thought of Colin and Penelope as pure young people, saving themselves for love and marriage, different from the rest of the couples within the old times society, they cherished their friendship, trusted and respected each other. changing a character's personality, considering that Colin's one was very well established, it made him look like a totally different person. give this couple their personality and dignity back.
I prefer to see their love gradually developing, discovering the feelings they have for each other, especially his feelings for her and what she means to him and what they have in common, rather than pushing quickly with intimate sexual moments. Sadly, the script didn't make their bond and connection convincing and genuine. I prefer less sexual scenes between them and seeing more talk, more love, what do they expect from their future together, to see them chatting more before touching each other in a sexy desire way.
I wanted to understand what actually brought them closer, how he remembered their history together, how their friendship started, how it progressed, how he sees her after all these years, did he realise that she had feelings for him before? if yes, when? we didn't see that on the screen. he should have found out somehow that she loved him all these years, reason to love and adore her more, this is a reason for marriage. before he wants her physically, what does he actually feel for her? can we see Penelope through his eyes and what does she mean to him as a woman, what does he like about her personality? for these people true and honest untainted love was their life purpose, that's why pushing this couple so quickly into sexual scenes kills their chemistry and love story.
I actually think they lacked chemistry because of the script, although they look nice together on screen. I also think, given these 2 people, there was so much potential to articulate their love, I would have never thought that while Penelope was older and mature, she was still innocent, virgin and introvert and would not allow him to touch her so soon, make him wait, make him wait more, be worthy and desire her truly. Given his personality, I thought that he would not want to be inappropriate with her, not until their feelings are clear and they grow closer to discover each other. these were very good old friends and one expects that they would firstly discover who is the other person when they are not in a friendship relationship before moving on to the next step. firstly, he must deserve her and secondly, she must be convinced that Colin actually has fallen in love with her...can someone rectify their love story in the second part of season 3?
Beautiful boundless connection is the only BBC I need in my life. 😊
I don't know why ppl seem to love nitpicking so much. Their expectations are sky high I suppose. I loved the new season. Absolutely loved the scenes and the development b/w Colin and Penelope. The carriage scene was just 🔥 and romantic at the same time. Also I'm surprised I didn't find Eliose that cruel as I expected which I love it. They will most likely to reconcile soon though I wonder how Colin will react after knowing that Penelope is Lady Whistledown.
The downside I feel is I wasn't invested into that other family with a man having a bar one. Franchesca storyline is okay. Featherington sis are boring while sometimes funny to me. The Bridgertons are always interesting. Yes, I also wished there would be more Polin scenes. A scene or two of them passionately discussing about something then laughing and Colin noticing her smile and just bit by bit realizing that he likes her. And Penelope about how she always loved him. Anyway I'm sure part 2 will cover that up.
Overall, I really loved s3, just how I loved the previous seasons. I think ppl could be disappointed because they expected the same but all storylines Re different from one another. I love that difference
I agree! I feel like once the other 4 episodes come out well feel more satisfied hopefully 🤞
Colin plays his cards close to his chest. Major outbursts of jealousy aren’t his thing. He tries to blend into the woodwork. Look at season 2 with Lord Fetherington. He did the hero save out of sight so that all might save face.
I don’t like the prostitute angle, but the writers are trying to show not tell. Books allow you to tell. Maybe more of his journal would have been a better move. His conversation with the other gentlemen suitors about being “cavalier” is also a subtle nod to this side of him that sexual feelings are separated from connection & affection. It is what he has been taught is normal. See his rakish brothers.
Yes, carriage does resonate with trying the moves with the prostitutes with Pen instead. I feel like he’s trying to understand how friendship/connection and passion can both flourish. He knows the other women portray what he wants to see.
Pen just is Pen. To see her react to his advances is starkly different. Pen who is constant. Pen who is quietly there. Pen who believes in him. Pen who wants the best for him suddenly just wants him. He doesn’t compete for her attention. Knowing the hinting of the mirror scene, especially with Pen’s comments leading up to their first kiss, he wants her to see herself as he does. She’s not a stupid girl who has no chance at love. She, to him, is a wonder, an enigma of beauty, kindness, resilience… and he wants her to see that.
Colin is obsessed with finding his purpose. They both are really. And yet, the only purpose for this match is that the hey truly enjoy each other. Colin does not need to marry. Pen was not expected to marry until she declared that is what she must do. In a way, the match fries both their brains: the purpose is purely pleasure of each other’s company, love, and seeking the best for both. The most unnecessary of matches becomes the most necessary element of their lives. Connection is vital for these two.
Great start to the story! Well recapped also
Colin and Penelope feels so forced.. no matter how hard the actors try the chemistry just isn't there
I agree. It was good in s1,2 s3 was too much of pleasing so many ppl then the true old school friends to lovers movie and shows
Collin is kind of dumb! I hate how he goes to whorehouses! No gentlemen!
Anyone else waiting for Claire Devlin to scream “Maaaaaaaaaam”!
Agree
Feel so much is missing - no chemistry - no amazing music and dances like in season 1 & 2 which added a lot to the emotions of the show- no beautiful scenery or backdrop shots at balls and homes - as in first 2 seasons 🙁
Nothing beats Queen Charlotte. That spinoff was the most romantic and enjoyable. The bridgerton series pales in comparison.
Very true!!!
please not the ‘Violet very much still wants that BCC..’ 😂😂 caught me off guard 😅
I may have felt more chemistry between Violet Bridgerton and Lady Danbury's brother
Exactly. And Francesca and John Stirling
Love this recap u the best 😂❤
I love it! Can’t wait for part two!!!
Loving it can't wait for part 2
Season 3, balls balls and more balls. Part 2, let’s see what you bring. Let’s go drama!
I wanna see some sneaking into Pens room in the dark of night. Come on Colin, love who you love!
I don’t think anything can top season 2. I couldn’t even watch all of season 1
Trust me season 3 is genuinely crazy idk I thought it was a good time so far
Season 1 was pretty good. It's underrated
I did not like season 2. I don't get what people are raving about it. Too much staring, too much drama with the sister. Season one had the best story and chemistry for me.
Season 2 was boring. Season 1 was better....my take
@@ziizee4614 maybe I will give it another try this week and let you know
I loved it!
Honestly, I want to like this season sooooo bad, but it just feels so sloppy with so many plot lines that feels so random and unnecessary. If you’re going to have us wait so long for something at least make it make sense with the two-parter! I seriously hope the second part will tie everything together otherwise I’ll be so sad😭
They went for it …. And nailed it ❤❤❤ love it 🔥🔥🔥
Love it ❤
😂😂i hate myself for reading the book cause i had expectations set high..season 3 just feels rushed.i was really rooting for it..but season 2 is still in the lead...honestly am more invested in Francesca..which i feel so bad about..hope part 2 will be good
The order of which i was invested in:
1. Francesca and John Stirling
2. Violet and lady Danburys brother
3. Cressida's character development
4. Penelope and Colin
I read the books but it was so long ago I forgot the details
Beautiful Boundless Connection made me subscribe 😂
That Beautiful boundless connection. 😂 I am cackling.
I loved both S1, S2 but the chemistry and tension in S3 is lacking for which bridgerton is known for. I am loving Francesca's plot. But Polin are not shining as the main leads of the show
I love season 3 THE most
Penelope has always been my favorite character, so I love this season more the others (I actually can't remember anything that stuck from season 2) but this is definitely my type of story x
100% I love these two birds. Unpopular opinion but I can't stand season 1 and 2. Can't get enough of Polin.
Oh no, I LOVED it ❤❤❤❤❤
S3 4 eps were absolutely disappointing they did not get enough screen time it and colin feelings was looking like developed only bcz of kiss which pen kind of begged for it.I think they should have cut out some side stories like pen sisters pregnancy relationship b/w benedict and tilly or it would be better if they have waited for carriage scene it spoils the scene and feels forces
P.S: Anthony and kate scenes were so cherry on the top and feels so good im glad they have just did not cut them of like daphne and simon
I loved season 3 part 1!!! I’ve already watched it like three or four times…I’m so ready for part 2
I really don't like the unrequited love trope. You are not owed someones' love and if they don't return your feelings don't hang around them sending them longing looks. It is creepy.
LOL! I certainly support your right to this opinion-and I actually agree with you IRL. But unrequited love is the bread and butter of romantic fiction; as in, the genre couldn’t exist without it. Girl meets boy, they hit it off, encounter no obstacles, and live happily ever after is not, sadly, particularly emotionally involving.
Far too many unnecessary scenes other than the main characters. Too much of Pen’s sisters, Cressida and the Mondrichs
Lucky there was because they were the more interesting parts of this season so far
0:57 the lower third killed me lol
I wish they stick to the story line from the books. Highly disappointed that Colin didn't discover that Pen was WhistleDown while in the carriage. Disappointing!
Yes! This is such a big change, and it feels bigger because Penelope chose to more directly influence what happened to him and Eloise than in the books. In the books they had to work through him being jealous of her writing and worried about what would happen if people going out - now they have to work through his anger.
I loved it! I like Penelope finally getting her happy ending. I loved the fact that she took charge of her life and made the changes necessary to get what she wanted. That first kiss was wonderful ❤ And that carriage scene was very uncomfortable to watch. It felt as though we were intruding on a very private moment. Which we were. But I was still so happy for them! 😂
I'm reading "Romancing Mister Bridgerton" while also watching season 3; I know the book and the show are different, but I'm enjoying both so far. That being said, the storyline I really want to learn more is the backstory to *why* Eloise and Cressida became friends in the first place. I also like how they're showing *layers* to Cressida's character, making her more than a cartoon villain. I actually am rooting for her and Lord Debling
Penelope was a full 7 course meal and Colin left no crumbs. Sweet mother of Jesus; that man INDULGED
🤣🤣🤣👌
I mean, when she's servin' up that bosom like the motor-boating dessert every man is looking for.... What else should we expect? 😅
In the book he is actually the one angry at her just before he ask her to marry him. Even though he is upset and furious at her.
I'm just gonna say it.
Season 3 for me was lackluster. ✨️😬
Even the music 🎶 wasn't as memorable.
They advertised Kanthony & Polin but instead we're getting glimpses of them and they're focusing on side stores 🥺
I must protest! :D In Season 2 Colin says: “I would never DREAM of courting Penelope Featherington!” This is not simply saying I would never do it in a million years. It means and for sure intentionally so, that he would never court that girl, because he feels he’s not enough. Colin’s character is somebody who does not really know who he is yet. He tries to find his purpose and get to know himself through his travels. He thinks if he knows more of the world he will know more of himself. Which is partly true but he also puts on a mask, which he thinks fits every time he arrives back to town. All in all in Season 3 Colin overcompensates his lack of confidence with a mask of masculinity. Same as people lurking on social media hungry for likes in order to feed their needs of appreciation. I find it extremely funny to watch the regency era version of this phenomenon in Season 3, Episode 1 when Colin does his rounds with the ladies using his one liners and then the camera shows the ladies' reactions how funny, charming, cute, hot etc. this Colin is. :D :D :D They are like living emoticons.
0:07 made my eyes roll SO FAR UP
Beautiful Boundless Connection!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Let me start by saying this is so NOT my kind of show and I randomly started watching Season 1 just as the new season is about to begin. I binged the first season. Bridgerton is a modern day view of women saying, "this is how we are treated and feel" but taking the issues happening in the 2020s and shoving in the early 1800s in a time that actually treated women horribly and created humor and fun and slowly showing you how little women have progressed in over 200 years. The show mixes teen dramedy, mean girls, Harry Potter vibes with gossip columnist narration by Julie Andrews, with Cinderella predictable storylines, love sex and nudity and then writes about modern day issues but flops it into the 1800s Victorian, high society visuals that shouldn't work at all, but boarders on brilliant. What ties it all together is outstanding casting, colorful costumes and the race blind high society "isshues" and a script that finds clever ways to make fun of everything. For example, while high society people are waltzing across the floor to a beautiful orchestral number, the song sounded familiar. It was Madonna's Material Girl.
It’s fluff not history, lighten up, it’s escapism
Season 1: Pretending to real love
Season 2: Enemies to Lovers
Queen Charlotte: Arranged marriage to Love
Season 3: Friendship to lovers, rags to riches story, shy girl and quiet guy, and Widow to hook up to lovers
It’s just too much to juggle but it feels needed since Penelope and Colin are not leading actor types. There’s nothing wrong with that if I got to see the entire season i would be able to judge this better.
Strictly speaking on the show (I've only read book 4) Polin should've been the last season. It would've given Penelope more time to be comfortable in her own skin and flushed out her character more plus given Colin time to play around while watching her bloom so he could grovel, then pine before properly wooing her. I don't know if I'll watch without lady whistledown.
Honestly I would've loved to see Penelope's bloom in the background with Lady Danbury's help guiding her while she played cat and mouse with the ton and the queen.
Not enough Anthony and Kate! 😢
Although I enjoyed season 3 so far because I loved season 1 and season 2, season 3 was superficially handled. There is no depth of characterization. Hoping for more in Part 2 of season 3.
Also the season feels a little rush and the story of Polin is undertold
And waaaay more side character stories that should’ve been there in the first place
Instead of focusing on developing the story of Colin and Penelope - looks like the authors decided to get marry ALL Bridgertons at once - even Violet , let alone Francesca, Benedict
Why?
I am just not shipping Pen and Colin. I just don't buy it. It was honestly really boring. The chemistry is just not there for me.
John Stirling is a ridiculous match for Francesca.
In the books we barely get to know him Francesca is a very pragmatic girl and marries him quickly.
Well..if you know, you know.. that match isn't made to last.
Fr actors has no chemistry at all. And they made us wait so long for S3 lol
@@Kya0565If you read her book you'd understand why they made the match a bit dull on purpose.
@@kaygates4224 Yeah, can't let us be too invested after all.
A "beautiful, boundless connection" 🤣🤣
I can only hope that the second half of this season is better because, I’m not really enjoying part 1 of season 3.
So far I’m not enjoying this season, things just feel off. The “love scenes” feel forced and flat at the same time. Not that I care or want to watch dudes doing it with prostitutes but even their interacts seem unnecessary and most certainly flat. Then there’s the story, please focus on one couple. I don’t understand Francesca, nor do we know her especially because she was barely mentioned or it the first two seasons. She is so peculiar that she needs her own season to flush herself out. Whoever edited this season needs a lesson on pacing so moments were uncomfortably too long and some scenes were so abrupt it took me out of the moment.
Suffice to say I’m not impressed and will not hold my breath for part 2.
As much as I enjoyed the carriage scene, after the first 4 episodes I was more invested in lord Debling than in Colin, as he spent more quality time with Penelope and is really likeable.
Polin is cute enough, I guess, but at this point it can't hold a candle to Kanthony.
Nicola & Luke are fabulous. As I’m sure the others will become & elder siblings were.
Season 2 hands down was the best season. Season three isn't even in comparison. I felt Antony in season 2 and even the Duke in season 1 had better dialogue when speaking to the ladies. Colin gave very brief compliments to Pen. I also loved the friendship with elosie and the mean girl. I loved how they developed the mean girls back story. I also loved Francescas comfortable silence with her suitor. Benedicts and the family who inherited money could of been taken out of this season. I also hated the fact as if Penelope couldn't find a suitor and she was made as it she was so awkward. I will say I did get some passion in the cartridge ride though😅
I love Polin. I also enjoyed Lord Deblin, Cressida and John Sterling's scenes. I actually wish for more Cressida and Francesca. They both seem more interesting and in depth ladies than meets the eye. Eloise annoyed me. She's smart enough to understand Lady Whistledown she just refuses to do so.
BBC i screamed! 😂😂😂
If season 3 has 3 love stories, it will dilute Colin and Penelope's love story. They have other Bridgerton characters that can give us a glimpse into their lives after their seasons in which they were main characters and other interesting secondary characters in this show.
this season was rushed I prefer Francesca's love story rather than Collin and Pens season 1 was just so much better
I do think the show is trying to introduce too many new storylines into this season (Francesca and Benedict and Violet, oh my!), but I am really happy with Polin. IMO, the two actors’ performances are great and the chemistry is there in plenty! I just wish these two had “their” season a bit more to themselves.
Just a little info here ..
Penelope never wrote Theo's name. She just wanted to protect Eloise because it was taboo back then for someone in high society to pair up with someone from a lesser status. Penelope's execution might be wrong but her intention wasn't malicious. If Eloise's reputation was truly ruined then she should've been shunned by the ton but she wasn't. Even Cressida Cowper is friends with Eloise. Theo on the other hand would've had a miserable time if Penelope had written his name.
I think we tend to forget that this is just the beginning, this is not it. Hence it is part 1
