Cressida pretending to be Lady Whistledown to get out of that horrible engagement was almost brilliant.
Easily the most interesting storyline this season! I was actually disappointed they resolved it so quickly 😭
@@netflixpartyy it was actually in the book too so pretty accurate in that front !
the way kate and anthony had 2 minutes of screentime but still carried this season... their power
LMAOO anyways
No one is talking about them 😂. Please stop
@@lamoyadoeman 462 people beg to differ
i only watched their scenes😭
rip cressida cowper, you would’ve loved ChatGPT
LMAOOO
justice was not done to the polins. colin was boring, Penelope's only relationship that interested me was the one with Eloise (love their development this season)
Agree COMPLETELY 😭
im SO mad because they cut some of the best scenes that would’ve made polin season. like they literally cut a scene where polin was laying in bed and talking about publishing colins manuscript. (Edit: this has seemingly been debunked by Nicola)
@@netflixpartyy😢
AGREED. I was sitting there rolling my eyes each time polin got on the screen only because there was just nothing really gripping about their interactions for me 😔
FINALLY someone who agrees. Like it just was boring. Colon’s f-boy era was so unnecessary and cringe like stop??
I was so "???" about the Mondriches in part 1. Then when I started part 2, I thought "Oh! I get it, Will's struggle to give up the bar as a symbol for the security he built in exchange for the happiness of his new situation parallels Penelope being unable to give up Whistledown, which is how she had agency when she felt powerless."
AND THEN THEY DIDN'T PARALLEL IT AT ALLLLLL
EXACTLY
I didn't even care about the parallels. I was so bored with them from season 1😂
Omg what annoyed me was eloise saying Cressida was doing it for attention
WHEN CRESSIDA LITERALLY TOLD HER WHAT WAS GOING ON AND SHE REFUSED TO HELP
Like wtf, were we not meant to feel bad for Cressida
omg yesss, I was so diappointed when Eloise ditched her (despite the fact that she knew Cressida wasn't the real lady Whistledown and only did it to get out of her horrible situation.. and when the sent her to live with her mean aunt in Wales, I was furious, like all of this redemption arc for what?????
exactly :/ eloise is veryyyy self-centred, i hope she changes at some point
And she is supposed to be a proto feminist like Yeah Tell me something more believable 😐
Also asking Penelope to cut out LW just because there is all about rumours when she never asked why Pen is so attached to that character, she never asked Pen about her family and is oblivious to all bullying she was receiving from her mom and sisters.
If they are going to the feminist route with Eloise she has to change 180 degrees
Yeah I'm baffled with how Cressida's story was handled in this season. Like they give her extremely sympathetic and understandable motivations. Everything she does is a desperate cry for help. She even begs for Eloise's help. No one listens or cares and the narrative treats her like a villain. It's so bizarre to me.
The reason I was upset with Francesca's storyline is precisely because if I ever fall in love, I could see myself having the quiet sweet kind of love she did than the dramatic stories the other couples had. Not everyone finds or wants toxic, dramatic love. I adored her and John, they were the best part of Part 1 and most of part 2 for me. By hinting Francesca was attracted to Michela from the get-go, it negates her and John's story's core theme of appreciating the quiet love. She literally got married to John a few days ago and the way she reacted after their wedding kiss was so bad, she looked so disappointed. In the books, theres no doubt Francesca loved John romantically. She just discovers that love can be different with different people but that doesnt diminish what she and John had. Its a beautiful story of grief and second chances in a very mature way. Its horrible that they messed it up. Also hers is the only book I've read so this makes it double worse.
Yesss I was surprised to see the face she made at the wedding kiss because she did genuinely love John and was attracted to him! No idea why they changed it, I feel like it negates all the lessons she taught Violet about how even though she loves differently and less passionately it doesn’t make that love any less meaningful. As someone who more drawn to quiet types as well I really identified with that!
Agreed! It doesn’t matter man or woman, what matters is that now it looks like she’s not really in love with John when she is! Or at least was supposed to be ☹️
someone really said “colin was looksmaxxing” and that really took me out 💀
That was a real s**t comment I don't get how people will fight to stop the bodyshaming of Penelope whilst dogging on Colin
@likhwezititus is not about the actor is about the personification of Colin's character, he looked out of Bridgerton
Is a shame because he was so charismatic the previous seasons, except the time he was talking about Pen (which he never apologizes for)
PLSSSS 😭😭😭
@@18Aleziita he literally apologized but mmkay "we need more complex characters" but can't handle Colin Bridgerton
idk why cressida thought she could pretend to be lady whistledown when she probably hasn’t written more than 10 words at once in her entire life
💀
PLZ 😭 her mom kind of ate tho
@@netflixpartyy no fr cressidas mom was the only reason she could keep it up for more than 6 seconds LMAOOO
People would do a lot of things when they are desperate
it shows how desperate she was to not be married to some random man and live her own life !! i thought it was brilliant
They did not put enough effort in season 3. The actors did well, but they didn’t have a lot to work with regarding their roles. The fact that people hate lady whistledown could’ve been seriously useful for the show instead of what we got
Facts! Apparently the original showrunner left, which is why it feels so different
@@netflixpartyyYou can definitely tell too. IMO most of the stories you see feel unfulfilled: Benedict’s lacked actual character development, Eloise backslides but isn’t called out on it, Pen self depreciates and undermines all the good Whistledown has done, Colin actually had character development but had out of character scenes, Kate actually had something interesting going on with her seeming to not want to end the honeymoon but they just chuck that conflict out the window?
Then there’s the dialogue. It’s like…where’s Pt. 1 writer at? Because none of the lines are hitting as heavy. This was just a mess, and that’s coming from someone that put much stock into a lot of peoples pt1 complaints
@@netflixpartyyyou can tell he left, all looks cheaper and tackier
I’ve never watched Bridgeton but her begging him for a kiss is sendinG MEEEE WHAT
same LOL i wasnt expecting that
It was a part of the book
LMAOOO
it is exactly from the books. but i want to explain it from the show:
pen felt really devastated about her future (she was already "the laughingstock of the ton" as she said and now they publicly shamed her for asking colin's help), she thought no one would want to marry her anymore.
i mean, the men in ep3 made fun of her at that evening, so she was right, she didn't know debling was interested in her at that point.
her being such a hopeless situation - living under her mom's roof with her bully sisters without any prospects in her third year on the marriage mart - dealing with more gossip that SHE HAD TO write about herself...she was on the edge.
pen, loving the thought of love itself, thought she'll never experience a thing like a kiss. she felt so vulnerable in that scene, could only open herself to her closest friend, colin.
she could not hide her thoughts anymore, she said what she felt. she asked colin, as her best friend to be merciful and give her a kiss.
she didn't want it, because she wanted colin to feel more towards her, no. she wanted a kiss, because she really had that on her mind, she will never have one...so sad.
it is the irony of the situation that pen thought colin did it out of pity and she felt uncomfortable in the end by it, while colin's world changed in 180 degrees and finally started to acknowledge his long time feelings for her after that pivotal moment.
That part is from the books.
the plus size thing is so true. this show gave me the confidence to start talking to my crush.
OMG IM SO PROUD OF U ! HOWD IT GO?
omg that’s amazing!!
@@livyh5618 It went well!!! the energy was reciprocated well!! im so happy i never felt brave enough to that beforee
@@netflixpartyy Yess tysmm

I actually like that Eloise wasn't just morphed into this perfect feminist. I feel like in future seasons they could explore her 'hypocrisies' that she is so obviously blind to. Maybe in a future season she'll be forced to do something in the name of her values instead of just preaching them to the masses. I love her. And I find her not doing a a 180 to be very realistic and full of potential storytelling and character developing. OH- I also hope that her being a bad friend towards Cressida at the end of the season will come back and bite her in the butt just for the sake of character development.
Oooo I do agree with this take!! I do really like her still (it’s hard not to) and I find myself excited for her season the most lately
I don't like to be too critical when it comes to shows, unless it's a serious matter of disrespect or misrepresentation, I just think of the hard work and the time that was invested into the show. However, this season, specifically the ending, did not feel fulfilling for the characters. Daphne and Simon had that deep, intimate moment in the rain, followed by the birth of their baby. Simon and Kate had that BEAUTIFUL moment under the fireworks (still gives me chills), and we get a glimpse into their married life. It just made sense, Daphne and Simon having a baby and being content with that, and Anthony and Kate having a full-circle moment playing pall mall. This season, the ball was beautiful, but it didn't feel too intimate or special. Maybe it wasn't as impactful because the couple lacked scenes throughout the season itself. And with the baby, I genuinely thought one sister had twins. I just wished they would have a full-circle moment as well. Perhaps showing a flashback from when they first met and how they are now, or seeing them read each other's writings. I think that would have been touching 🤍
We really needed more scenes with them together!!
I swear to God that final scene with the babies I was just like "cmon, are we really doing this?". It just felt SO off
Nicola Coughlan shone this season, you can tell that she and Luke really like and respect each other. Also, she's 37, yet can convincingly play a teenager.
She is so stunning 🥹
37? HUH?
@@zemaraluciousclaudia jessie is 34 and she’s also convincingly playing teenager eloise…
@@whoisagniia omg genetics slay
thirty SEVEN???????????
I love Kanthony I hope they make a spinoff of their time in India
simone was asked in an interview that a lot of fans want to see more kanthony and she said that kanthony deserve a spin off!!! and that she would love to do it, we actually have hope!!! 🥹
I hate this relationship because of the show but reading the lovely it’s way better and they don’t play edwinsa like a dumb girl… she immediately knows that Kate loves Anthony and says okay…bye. So I like them because of the book kitty he show.
I would love a whole Sharma thing where we can see Edwina and her marriage as well
Honestly, it’s the season everyone was waiting for. Also, mad props to Nicola Coughlan for being practically perfect in every way ❤
Love her so much 🥹🩷
Nicola is that girl
Yup. Love her down.
Honestly nothing is ever gonna touch Anthony's season i swear i was really excited for this season they even said that penelope would have a lot of suitors and will not be made fun of but that literally did not happen she forgives Colin in 5 minutes like seriously bruh what were they thinking and Francesca was not done justice with her scenes. I have to say i loved their glow up for colin and Penelope but the way everyhing was just so messed up it was infuriating
Never!!!❤
The curse of eight episode series💀
Season 1 is soooo great beautifully written … something that comes close is Queen Charlotte … for me season 3 is sooooo bad very bad too much was going on
So sad that we didn’t even see a wedding for Anthony and Kate or more promos
Things I would add that would fix Bridgerton season 3 (even tho I ate it up):
- In the scene where he’s in his study and the candlelight starts to burn out, add flashbacks of season 1 and 2 to show he’s always loved her but never realised it
- A scene of Penelope reading Colin’s manuscript and giving editing advice so the betrayal on Colin’s part really sinks in. Like you were out here giving me writing advice and never once during that did you consider telling me why you share my passion for writing? Might as well call me an idiot while you at it.
- After the scene where he fetches a pillow and blanket from their bedroom, they should’ve shown him unable to sleep on the chaise lounge. Then we see him sneak into the bedroom, sneak onto the bed and wrap his arm around her waist. This shows that, while he’s still trying to sort out his whole feelings on the matter, he still loves her, he still wants to be near her and he doesn’t want her to be alone on their wedding night. Yes, he still slept on the chaise lounge in front of their room to be near her, but do you think a general audience will get that on their first watch? And it’s just a cute trope, idk 🤷🏾♀️ a man who can’t keep himself away from you even when he’s mad at you is cute to me.
- The confession that he gives her at the butterfly ball should’ve been placed in the scene when Penelope is speaking to Colin in the study during Fran’s wedding. Instead of him saying he doesn’t know why he can’t let go of the whole LW thing, we have him confess his envy of her there and then. His “I love you with everything I am, everything I’ve been and everything I hope to be” speech from the book should be at the butterfly ball instead.
- Benedict’s bi arc should’ve started in ep 5 and not ep 6/7. It would’ve felt more poignant if they had given it more time to develop.
- When Colin, Benedict and John were at Will’s bar closure, and Benedict was talking about how he felt he had no purpose, I would’ve had Colin immediately clock that and ask Benedict what was going on as soon as Will and John were out of earshot. Colin was the only one who clocked that something deeper was going on with Eloise and was the only one who asked her what exactly was up as soon as he did, so it only makes sense that he did the same with Benedict. Also, it kinda shows the audience that Colin and Benedict have now switched places. In season 2, it was Colin without a purpose and Benedict had his art. In season 3, Colin now has a purpose in life with his writing, and because Benedict has given up on art, he has no purpose anymore. Colin knows where he’s been, he would’ve been the perfect person to give Benedict advice.
But otherwise, I really loved his confession at the end of the season, it might actually be one of my favourites Bridgerton speeches because it really was tailored to her and spoke of someone who admired her and her resilience, I just wanted it to come earlier in the episode. Also, don’t come for me but I don’t really get the hype around the “bane of my existence, object of all my desires” speech because it spoke of sexual desire/lust and not love to me, I much prefer Anthony’s speech in s2 ep 8.
Ughhh you ate, these additions would’ve been so good!!
aww colin sneaking into their bedroom, wrapping his arms around her (maybe a little kiss on her cheek) and being able to finally sleep with pen on his side 😭 i love this idea so much!! oh we were ROBBED!
You ate this up bruh
Agree with all this! Just want to add though that Luke Thompson has confirmed that Ben is pansexual, not bi. Although, like you said had they given more time to cook that it'd have been more obvious to the audiences.
The breathing bothered me SO bad 😭
cause why are yall literally PANTING 😭
I literally thought I was the only one bothered by it 😭 It gave me such an ick. It’s so annoying!!!
Every time Colin and Pen were on screen all I was focused on was her BREATHING like whyyy
Penelope's "heaving bosom" was a character all its own 😂😂
all seasons of bridgerton had an iconic monologue between both the characters which all the angst throughout the season had led up to. however there was no particular scene that sticked out to me the way the other seasons did. It was just lackluster. I wish they showed little moments between Polin more.
i think it’s because they left out one of his best monologue’s from the books, “i love you with everything i am, everything i’ve been, and everything i hope to be.” why they chose not to include this ill never understand 😭
@@netflixpartyyomg that is adorable 😭 they really had to leave out the cute parts
I think the part where he admits he's jealous of her is supposed to be that impactful speech. It's a no for me.
bridgerton really peaked with season two, i gotta say. ain’t nobody hit quite like kanthony hit.
Nah...it was too much lust. But the actor that did Anthony was good and did the most. The actress that played Kate could've done better in my opinion
@@ahmudbrr4940 everyone’s entitled to their opinion. but the “lust” comment…i’m sorry but who doesn’t want to jump their SO’s bones (unless you’re asexual)?!? that doesn’t invalidate their love lol. and an actor can’t have chemistry with themselves or a wall, both actors need to jive well in order to make it work. so say what you will but both actors did amazing work to make that couple what it is.
nah i was LIVING for violet × marcus ship arc this whole season like i was so invested in them. Its time for the queen to get her own man.
YESSS they were so cute!!
OMFGGG YOU REPLIED GIRLLL ILYSM 😭😭
Yes, time for her to get her garden watered 👀
Not a husband when George is still kicking
@@DA-yy8rswhat does George have to do with Violet and Marcus???
idk how eloise can be so selfish and tone deaf when penelope told her that everyone can't be a briderton and most people dont have the freedom that she has. like penelope told her that in the first season. also, i love a lavender marriage.
exactly!! shows that she didn’t even take that argument to heart and actually reflect on it 😭
@@netflixpartyy omg, hey baddest!
I agree there needed to be more episodes. WAY TOO MANY CHARACTERS/ SIDEPLOTS 😐😭
TOO MANYYYY
i so badly wish we saw a good ending for cressida i don’t even dislike her anymore now that i understand her situation i feel like they really could’ve given her a good solution to the situation
They almost ruined pen's character with the whistledown arch. The whole point of whistledown being pen was that she was so ignored in society that people didn't acknowledge her presence and she could hear their gossips, publish them, and still no one suspected her. Not that people would confid in her (seeing her as a friend) with their secrets and then she goes ahead and writes about them to ruin them in society's eyes, like what she did to Eloise or Thompson.
I hate how her character is written in the show. She's portraied almost as bad a Cressida is written in books, using her platform for her own greed. Which is why I don't understand why every other character is getting a redemption arch except her.
They all suck in the show anyway
She's not gone for good. She plays a part in benophies book!
Agree w/ everything you said about Cressida & Eloise! I thought Eloise reading Jane Austen’s Emma in ep1 was a hint we’d get the ‘mean girl turned nice’ trope with Cressida, but instead Eloise threw her under the bus in part 2 😐
Omg I didn’t even notice that it was Emma!! They really should’ve just stuck to redeeming her character
Yup and we as the audience are supposed to be down for her season😂🎉 Congrats 🎉🍾
This has been a lesson on how to chuck character development out the window in one episode or less. That scene straight up put El back on the path of her selfishness again.
She just used Cressida when she had no one as an ear piece until she moved on enough to take Pen back in.
Colin needed to grovel more.. all the awful shit he said about pen.. she should have been yelling!
FR!!!
I mean Penelope should grovel too with the amount of shit she wrote about the bridgertons while visiting them and acting innocent
@@ccvv1119shut up
Omg gabi got it, I didn't even realize ....yeahhh this season was about loving yourself, not the love relationship itself 😭
omg that makes so much more sense
Yeah, exactly. They said it would be the season for the wallflowers
Honestly I was really disappointed in the second half of season 3. The love scene was soooo awkward and honestly I hated Benedict's storyline. Also, turning John's cousin into a woman, like... I was so looking forward to Francesca's love story with Michael and apparently we're gonna be robbed of that. The only part that I truly enjoyed and actually brought me the tears was Colin and Penelope's wedding, specifically the wedding vows. And Penelope looked stunning throughout the season. Still there are all these things that really bugged me and I'm not even sure I will want to watch future seasons of the show.
By the way, I would really love a reaction on Maxton Hall. It became my favorite show of the moment ❤
I completely agree the love scene was SO awk 😭 I had to look away!! I think I’m going to give Francesca’s edition a read, I think I might not be as upset about the gender change because I’m not familiar with Michael’s original character.
I feel like saying “we’re going to be robbed” about the gender swap is kind of unfair because even though Michael is going be Michaela now that doesn’t mean they can’t have the same great love story they have in the books. I understand there was some infertility tied in with that relationship and while I do think that representation is important, it sucks to see that the one relationship in this show that is representing for lgbt people gets attacked so much. I can understand that people love that original storyline in the books but it’s one changed relationship out of 8. I wish people would be understanding for how much this representation means for young gay people.
I liked that it was awkward bc it’s Pen’s first time and they had been friends before. Your first time can be awkward sometimes
@@ary550 I agree with you in that lgbt representation is important. I think that representation is equally as important for infertility struggles, especially in this era in which roe V wade, and women’s health care being taken away. I think Fran’s season could actually say something and bring to the forefront about infertility and women’s issues. I think it would be powerful because so many people watch bridgerton. Maybe having an lgbt character could potentially take away from that? Which is why a season like Benedict exploring bisexuality or maybe Eloise being part of the community would make lgbt conversations more impactful. I could see then depicting infertility in the lgbt community which is also important but I’m wondering if a dedicated season on the conversation might be more impactful. Regardless I’m excited to see where they take the show.
@@AthenaMews I totally agree and tbh I wish they had explored Eloise’s character instead of Fran’s as that makes more sense to me but the writers already took it in that direction and it is incredibly disheartening to see all hate and vitriolic comments people have been spewing. I hope they continue to explore infertility plot lines maybe with John and Fran or another female character entirely. Everyone can be represented and happy in this situation but the amount of homophobia I have seen directed towards this change is extremely disturbing. I really love the point you made about exploring women’s healthcare though, I do really wish more media talked about this issue.
Every time I seen the Mondrich’s I just fast forward… literally I could care less about that mans club frr😭😭
i don’t get y they included them at all?? maybe the first scene of them finding out they’re titled now could be kept, but after they could’ve scrapped all their individual scenes and just had that family in the background or interacting with the bridgertons.
Their arc didn't even go anywhere, why do they exist💀
You explained it perfectly! We needed more episodes of Colin giving Pen lessons and see how he handles and helps her when she gets anxious about the Whistledown mess. There was such a potential for romance and it was not expanded on at all. We for sure needed more episodes if they wanted to also focus on other Bridgeton siblings
Queen Charlotte 🤝 The Audience here
“We must entrap the scribbler.”
i fully agree with everything you said. this season was boring. i wish they waited to release the polin story, we could’ve had all the gossip from Whistledown and we could’ve continued guessing who it was. What could they do now? Where could they take this for an interesting drama?
Such a good point, I wonder what the drama of the future seasons will be without the LW storyline. Though a part of me also hopes that with all the Whistledown stuff finally resolved, future seasons will be able to focus a lot more on their respective main characters and romances.
Came to add that I would’ve never had her reveal herself as Lady Whistledown to the whole ton: Firstly, it shows lack of consequence, we’ve heard them hating on LW (but also eating it up, I’ll admit). It doesn’t make sense for the people to be so nonchalant about a reveal this big, this woman was airing out their dirty laundry for years. Never made sense in the book to me why they cared about Lady Whistledown so much since she did nothing of consequence in the books but at least it makes sense that they would be nonchalant.
I would’ve instead had her request a private audience with the Queen. Then had Colin walk in with her in the castle, hand in hand, showing that he’ll always be by her side like he promised. He lets go of the hand, she steps forward “into the light” like the episode title, this stepping away from Colin is showing her true confidence, she’s independent, she can do this on her own. She says all the things she said in front of the ton, but instead now it is just to the Queen. Queen Charlotte looks impressed that a 20 year old girl managed to pull all this off, she reminds her of her younger self. The queen requests an alliance between the Crown and Lady Whistledown, Penelope accepts. Penelope walks to Colin, Colin gives his love declaration like he does at the butterfly ball and they walk out the castle. The Queen calls off the bounty and at the same time, Lady Whistledown announces her new alliance with the Queen, and Pen’s still allowed to remain anonymous, but now the ton is even more scared of Lady Whistledown since she’s working with the Queen, like they won’t even be tempted to test her.
I DO NOT THINK U UNDERSTAND HOW INCREDIBLE U ARE, i have been scouring the internet for commentary youtubers but all of them yap too much, u talk the perfect amount and when u do talk ur actually funny. thank you 😭😭😭
thank you this means a lot 🥹🩷
Season 1 did a much better job of the friends to lovers trope, which is insane.
I literally skipped through Benedict’s entire storyline, and I’m not sorry for it.
Also, something about how everything was resolved and the season ended with a neat little bow on top made me feel some type of way. It didn’t really feel earned, and there was no payoff.
Finally someone talking about Penelope’s heavy breathing!! lol I thought I was the only one who was slightly irritated at it
HELP I WAS LITERALLY HOPING AND PRAYING YOU'D DO A WATCH PARTY ON THIS 😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽
YAYYYY
Cressida Cowper they can never make me hate you
She was so much fun 😭
Honestly the thing that pissed me off the most with season 3 was how they COMPLETELY killed Benedict's art arc? He finished last season still studying the arts - literally 0 mention of that. His painting which was his passion for 2 seasons is never once brought up in season 3. Even when he's talking to the widow + the other dude at dinner; the dude asks Benedict what he likes to do (even giving painting as an option) and Benedict doesn't even have a line saying ANYTHING about it. Not even an "Oh I used to". Just genuinely upset me how they never referenced it.
Netflix could've removed the th**some scenes and give us more Polin scenes or even a Lady Danbury flashback because WHO WAS SHE GOING TO ESCAPE WITH the night before her wedding??? 🥺🥺🥺
You said it all!!
Too much side plots, like I don’t care about the Mondrich’s and the Violet romance stuff. It was supposed to be Colin’s season and yet, it felt like I was watching “The Featherington’s” like okay I get it Penelope is the FL and all but we didn’t got to see character development from Colin. This man was getting me eye rolling. His character was completely useless in part 2. Also, where was the declaration? Cause, I feel like we didn’t had THE Bridgerton declaration we get each season. Daphne’s “I burn for you” and all, Anthony’s “You are the bane of my existence” even king George “I cannot breathe when you are not near” such quotes that are so poetic and romantic and those which make us enjoy the Bridgerton’s love declaration and want to watch them over and over again.
I didn’t liked how the ton discovered LW identity at the ball. They all went alright you roasted so many of us during all these years but it’s over now, let’s go back to dancing? Didn’t made sense. Lacked of drama from my point of view. I didn’t got the chills from her speech at all.
Polin couple was… disappointing. The chemistry was there but not explored enough!!! It could’ve been way much better. Like instead of doing a weird montage switching from a conversation to Benedict’s treesome we could’ve had a scene from their meeting on the horse Colin mentioned at their wedding. Like wtf ? The montage was sooo weird. Also, I feel like they just filled blanks at the montage with those threesome scenes. It was so unhinged and unnecessary. This season was having so much potential, just even from the point of view that Penelope was both LW and the FL. Could’ve added so much more tension and drama! I feel like they restrained themselves this season because we kind of all knew who Colin was gonna end up with. But it is not a reason! Also, them having a baby was out of nowhere. When I saw their tree heads I just bursted out laughing because the camera angle was just weird. There is even more I could talk about but I will just stop there… Conclusion, Bridgerton went from one of my favorite shows to a nightmare I can’t seem to forget.
Thinking about the fact that to this time every Bridgerton season comes out every two years S4 should be around 2026. Until then, I don’t want to hear about Bridgerton.
Something about the babies at the end made me roll my eyes 🤣
the thing that explains it all to me is that this season has a new showrunner than seasons 1 and 2...and you can soooo tell.
You literally took the words out of my mouth. I saw this season as a self-love story for Penelope, which is why I ended up liking it so much. In terms of the romance, I would say it did end up lacking and I get why that was frustrating for Polin stans. I went into this having solidified Kanthony as my favourite and because of that I think I was able to see the self-love angle they were coming from as I wasn't really looking to stan Polin but even having said that they really fumbled with the romance aspect of their story which sucked. You could tell with Colin's love confession at the end too that this season was really about Penelope and her growing into this more confident version of herself. Overall I enjoyed it but the romance really left me wanting more and if they cut some storylines and got into more of their romance I really think it would have been the best season yet because it really had all the qualities to be.
A 33 minute video on Bridgerton?! 😍 ahhh I'm so excited!
thank youuu 🥹🩷
@netflixpartyy Of course! I loved and disliked this season (benedict, Michael... I mean Michaela, and the take away from Polin) 😪 But I loved the rest
"I don't know where that man went" LOL for reeaaaal where did Debling go
Totally agree, not giving Cressida a redemption arc was one of my main disappointments. Like you make us empathise with her and her situation, she tries to change and then you banish sis as an ending :’). It was such a cop out. I wish that she at least escaped with the bounty money, before the Queen figured out she was fraudulent lmao and meeting Lord Debbling during her escape would’ve been epic!
My biggest issues with this season are exactly the same as yours
1. Not enough Polin scenes: Luke and Nicola do have fantastic chemistry, I don't deny that. Their first kiss was breathtaking, the carriage scene, speechless, but the fact they only had 40 MINUTES? when they're the lead couple of the season? As a friends to lover Polin fan, we needed much more scenes to see their characters build like they had in season 2
2. Hated benedicts storyline: it was a full on sex movie with EACH scene
3. Mondrich family storyline should have been cut out completely, every scene with them I forwarded, so annoying. They're storyline should've ended with the duke
4. Weirdly, I didn't like how much Francesca's story took soooo much time, she took more time away from Polin and this was there main season
Lady Whistledown's identity should've remained a secret until the end of the show. Too many people found out so you knew she would have to come clean. Her identity should've remained a mystery. I wasn't satisfied with the ending. So now Penelope is going to write gossip under her real name? How does that work? She'll have to tone it down or everyone will hate her. So the gossip won't be as salacious, and people won't be as interested in reading it.
girl omg this is the REALEST review of this season that i've seen you just get it cause the shit i was reading on twitter i was like ????? there's no way we watched the same show
I lover Bridgerton and I eat every season up but WAYYY too much was going on. I was low key disappointed pen didn’t hold a grudge against Colin longer bc he deserved it, and I feel like the way he suddenly fell head over heels for her was kind of unnatural. (In like 2 episodes) That’s why I think we need more episodes bc between all of the plot lines it almost felt like Pen and Colin weren’t the main couple. Nicola is stunning though!!
Oooo okay, the new little set up is too cute!!
I was just about to fall asleep and now I can’t😔
HAHA sorry!!
The way I want to see Netflix Party say that Polin CARRIED when they show that carriage scene 😂
Ekhane??
@@randomlyswatching9481 Hyaan ekhane!
The way I screeched bc u finally posted, I’ve been waitinggg 😂
The fact that I finished watching part 2 (episodes 6-8) at work because literally nothing was happening so I wasn’t worried about being caught watching something “naughty” lol. I liked part 1 more than part 2 because I thought we were building to something for part 2 and it never came. If anything, my favorite little side stories/scenes were of Kanthony and Penelope’s sisters. Like Kanthony was that romance and it was just a scene an episode, and the sisters were that comic relief/cute moments with their husbands. The sisters had the ultimate story arc and character development by truly appreciating Penelope and having her back with THE BUGS 😂
I was waiting for this ✨✨ I have been reading people’s comments on fable
omg yesss we love the fable club
They needed you on the writing and editing team girl !!!!
omggg this was the most entertaining way to recap the calamity of a season we just watched. Love ur personality NP😆🙌💖
thank you!! 🩷
Lord Stirling was my fav character and they did him dirty at the end making Francesa fall in love with someone else. They were building up an interesting idea of love being comfortable/quiet rather than stereotypically brash showing some nuance, but did all that just to tear it all down. Justice for Lord Stirling.
also i think the show did a lot of gaslighting to colin to make it seem penelope's lies were justifiable rather than give them time to make amends naturally.
Idc idc fran and michaela are gonna slay i was FEIGNING for a sapphic romance in bridgerton for a WHILE. After Eloise and Cressida I NEED IT
YOURE SO MEEE 😢 i was literally shipping Cressida and Eloise for the first half of the season, like, her book has one of the WORST love interests/plotlines, either bring back Theo or bring back Cressida for a full redemption arc!!
@@y2kayh I WAS LIVING FOR CRESOISE
My 1st thought after finishing this season was it is ridiculous for me to wait 2 years for the next. 8 episodes should've been 12.
I completely agree about your analysis of Colin's character development. We understood Daphne, we understood Anthony... but I guess bc there is a reverse where Colin is the love interest and Penelope is the main. HOWEVER, we still saw flashbacks of Simon, learned about Kate through her mother and Edwina... I think because the writers introduced them 2 seasons ago, they figured we knew enough. There were a lot of great characters this season (Francesca, Cressida, etc) but Polin felt like an equal 10% plot and screentime to everyone else whereas in previous seasons it was more Daph/Sim 50%, Kanthony AT LEAST 30%!
ALSO I WAS *WAITING* for the flashback of them meeting for the first time (made me think Danny + Riley from Baby Daddy).... but we didn't get it -_-
CRESSIDA: I don't understand why they made us empathize with her and build an audience connection to her just to send her off in suffering! and WHERE THE HELL DID LORD DEBLING GO?!?!?!! I thought in part 1 it would be a bit of that cliche/ perfect tied-knots ending where everyone's with someone or happy but they literally made him disappear and screwed over Cressida. Lowkey Eloise wasn't a great friend to her either (falsely accusing her or exposing Polin, never listening, abandoning her...) and I was legit routing for Cressida by the end. she had her little moment in that red dress but why?
P.S. Anthony's hilarious this season
okay but the only story line i wanted to know about was ELOUSE AND THE PAPERBOY!!! and they didn’t show it!! i hope they bring them back in season 4, because that would be so messy because of the class system!
i dont even watch bridgerton but i saw you posted so you already know
(also harrys makes body wash and shampoo that is so good)
Patiently(badly) waiting for your next videooo 😭 💕
I love the message. More people need to be themselves and I feel like it will fly over peoples heads. I loved the drama at the end… let me tell you I was at the edge of my seat with Cressida😭 Amazing summary ❤
I stopped watching Bridgerton after season 2, but I absolutely loved this video. I've been wanting to know what went on this season as there is a reason why I watched 2 seasons and not just one (the drama of it all is very entertaining), but I didn't want to spend my time on season 3. I adore the genuine critiques of storyline and characters while still having fun (I watch shows for a good time but I also love to analyze and talk about them), so I would love to see more videos like these. I'm sure it takes a decent amount of work to collect your thoughts and organize everything for a video like this, so I assume it wouldn't be super regular, but seeing videos like this from you even only once in a blue moon would be fantastic and I appreciate all the effort you put in. Anyways I just want to say I absolutely love your channel and have for a while, you're hilarious and so entertaining. Thank you for all the videos you make and put out
i love how u were wearing the signature brigerton colour,it looks so good on you
I’m so glad u posted, love ur content ❤️❤️🫶
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
This felt like a whole video essay and I ate it up
Not exactly a spoiler, but with Cressida, she has a big part to play in Benedict's love story, so they can't redeem her just yet or give her a happy ending. That's all I'll say. 👀
And I'm so intrigued and excited by Michaela + Francesca romance too! Their book is unbelievably boring so when they introduced Michaela I was like 'finally some spice!' ❤🔥
AYAY SHE POSTED

thank you!! 🩷
I believe Colin's attempts to find connection, meaning, and purpose, his class clown or hero personas, and his relationship issues all through the show are tied up in a kind of trauma reaction to losing his father and his mother's deep grief/depression at an impressionable age. These could all easily be explained as possible reactions to abandonment issues if the initial loss happened when he was old enough to remember but not enough to fix anything. Since he couldn't save his father or cure his mother's grief, the best he could do is entertain everyone and make them as safe and happy as possible with the tools available to a young boy. He may not have been able to progress past that until the family trauma had healed more through time passing and the eventual marriages of his older sister and brother (those relationships helped each sibling deal with their trauma, so they could be better help to Colin by example). It's obvious to me that Colin craves connection and commitment for roughly the same reason Anthony ran screaming from it for years. Because the tragic sudden loss of their father and their mother's extreme complicated grief took part of their childhood and made them all grow up too fast in some ways while stunting their development in others. Daphne and Anthony became de facto parents and head of household even while Daphne hadn't yet entered puberty and Anthony had only just reached his majority, years before either should have been expected to shoulder these burdens. Colin couldn't take on either role, so he became everyone's entertainment, their respite. But who comforts the comforting one? No one. Who respects the hard work behind entertaining everyone? No one. So he gave without anyone realizing how much he gave, worked for years with no one seeing that it was work. Emotional labour is a real thing deserving respect, but Colin and Benedict did so much of it while being passed by like wallpaper. It's frustrating.
I LUV YOU SOO FREKİN MUCHHHH I JUST WANTED TO SAY THATTT LOVEEE YOUUU AND I LOVE YOUR HUMOR SOO MUCHH
like the way i was literally begging for some polin flashbacks😭😭
FABLE CLUB GIRLIES GET IN FORMATION
PERIODDD
I realized that i enjoyed what the show gave me while I still think I would have loved to have seen Colin realizing how witty and pretty Pen is through his journal or inner dialogue. Seeing his confusing in that way before Pen asks for the kiss. Also I would have loved to see how their relationship was true friendship.
Very,very true! Thanks for this good video ❤
Amazing video, I really like the idea of Penelope falling in love with herself being the true romance 😊
9:18 "girl. how did we even get here?" i love you smmm
Yay new video!
heyyy 🩷
This is my 3rd time watching this video all the way through. Gabby, I love your thoughts on this❤
you’re so right about whistledown cause how is she meant to get any drama now that everyone knows who to watch out for
Omg i missed you queen
Btw love the new set up
Thank you 🥹🩷
a few things i feel u messed up. Cresida took credit bc she thought it was the only way to lose ALL suitors. she was giving up and penelope said she made lady whistle down to give herself a voice. she says now she will be a voice for the voiceless
thank you! 🩷
This whole season felt like they were just setting up for heaps of possible spin offs instead of actually just putting appropriate time into building the chemistry between Penelope and Collin. I felt they didn’t spend enough time showing me their connection being built which made me feel so weird when they were suddenly so in love 🤣 don’t get me wrong it was good but like you said, it could’ve been better if they had done more episodes and go into more detail!
I literally agree with all the points specifically not getting enough episodes
I totally agree with your points about seasons 3. likeeee I fr NEEDED to see Colin groveling…especially after what he said about penelope in season 2 likeeee😭 ain’t no way i’m accepting someone that belittles me that quickly. However, in terms of benedict’s storyline, i’m honestly excited to see him actually find his purpose in season 4, like i feel like the development is gonna be well done. For example, if we look at anthony in season 1, you could assume that he’s not mature enough for romance, but by the end of the season we see the much needed character development and next thing you know, we’re rooting for him. So yea, I feel like benedict could have the same treatment if done right-like we can see him finding his true purpose alongside/ within his love interest, as well as having an eloquent, well written romance integrated in his storyline. But I have to agree that they did my guy ben NO justice with the 10000 unneeded lady tilly scenes in part 2…like it was fr giving me trying to reach the word count in a last minute essay 😭
i never comment on youtube videos but I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO POST THIS!!!!
YAYYY THANK YOU!! 🩷
i agree w all of these takes it did fall flat sadly and waiting until 2026 is crazy bro im gonna be out of school by then 😭 i feel old
I feel her every time she said "GIRL...."
You never fail to make me laugh hysterically. Your reactions are so relatable. I'm begging you to watch Miller's Girl 😂😂😂
